HUNTING HARADA.
I am fine to comunicate that the Centro di Ricerca Genetica Vetogene of the Università di Medicina Veterinaria di Milano is now available for a new study about the Harada Syndrome in the Akita Inu breed. The objective is not to condamn but to prevent. The privacy of any participant will be granted.

STAGE 1:  Affected dogs’ pedigrees collection.
The owner can partecipate anonymously and can write directly to Vetogene to the attention of Dr Amedeo Picchi or he can send the data via his own Vet.

Vetogene will grant total reserve, they’re interested on studying the diesase only. Every name will be linked to a numerical code and no personal detail will be released; Vetogene is very sensitive to the privacy policy. That’s why we ask breeders to partecipate also if anonymously: it can be very useful for them to “clean up” their blood lines or to find out who’s carrying the problem.

After the pedigree analysis, they’have understood how the gene works, they will proceed with the blood analysis and the samples will be sent.

If you know about dogs (they can also be old, dead or foreign dogs) having this disease, please notify also their name and pedigree. If you don’w know their name but you know their parents’ name, you can notify them by the parents’ pedigrees .

The more data will be available in a short time, the more results the research will get soon.
