2 www.theriofoundation.org TF Grants at Work

Oklahoma State University – ACT Student Outreach Grant The SFT student members at Oklahoma State University Center for Veterinary Health Sciences would like to extend our gratitude for the financial assistance provided by the Theriogenology Foundation Board of Directors via an ACT Student Outreach Grant. With the financial assistance we were able to provide housing for our guest speaker from Cornell University, Dr. Soon Hon Cheong, DACT.

Dr. Cheong visited Oklahoma State University’s Center for Veterinary Health Sciences campus and spoke to our student SFT club at 12pm on September 20th, 2018, in the main lecture hall auditorium in McElroy Hall. About 60 bodies in total, including students and faculty, were in attendance to the presentation. During his presentation Dr. Cheong presented the SFT student members with information pertaining to two unique cases: a preputial swelling in a 10-month-old Brown Swiss bull and a granulosa cell tumor in a 2-month- old Arabian filly. After the presentation Dr. Cheong was also escorted out to the OSU CVHS Ranch where he was able to have further interaction with some sophomore students, about half of which were SFT club members, during their Equine Palpation elective course.

Thank you again for assisting our student chapter with this opportunity, we are grateful!

University of Illinois – ACT Student Outreach Grant The first weekend of March Dr. Ana Adams came to the University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine. On Friday, Dr. Adams spoke to students over lunch about some of the aspects of canine reproduction in a private practice and some of the business aspects. Saturday morning, Dr. Adams gave further details on canine reproduction techniques to a group of ten students. After the lecture and lunch, Dr. Adams demonstrated to students how to manually collect stud dogs. Once the studs had been collected, Dr. Adams discussed evaluation of canine semen with the students as well as the freezing process. Students were able to assist in semen evaluation and were able to observe the extending and freezing process. Dr. Adams’ teachings were great experiences for the students involved. Several of the students are now considering including canine theriogenology as something they would like to do in practice. While students are able to learn a lot from lectures, there is something much more insightful when it comes to hands on experience.

The Illinois Student Chapter of the Society for Theriogenology would like to thank the Theriogenology Foundation for funding that allowed us to implement this lab and we would like to thank Dr. Ana Adams for her wisdom and bright attitude.

University of Florida – Student Chapter Grant On January 14, 2019, Dr. Thomas Riddle from Rood & Riddle Equine Hospital in Lexington, Kentucky, traveled to Gainesville, Florida to speak to students at the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine about the procedures he routinely performs as a thoroughbred breeding farm practitioner. Dr. Riddle discussed the ’s role in equine reproduction and provided information to students about topics such as breeding soundness considerations, twin management, and postpartum care. A highlight of the lecture was Dr. Riddle’s instruction on fetal gender determination. He discussed the importance of accurate “fetal sexing” and showed a variety of ultrasonographic images to “train your eye.” After walking students through these examples, he displayed new images to quiz students so that they could test their newfound skill. At the end of the meeting, Dr. Riddle provided advice on how to maximize the veterinary student experience, discussed potential externship and internship opportunities, and answered questions about the future job market for equine veterinarians.

The UFCVM student chapter of the Society for Theriogenology would like to thank the Theriogenology Foundation for their generous funding, which allowed Dr. Riddle to travel to Florida and played an instrumental role in ensuring the success of the meeting. This gathering was a great opportunity for students to enhance their education in theriogenology and to learn from Dr. Riddle’s years of experience in the field.

University of Illinois – Student Chapter Grant Mid-March Dr. Kurt Sladky came to speak to students from the University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine. He spoke to a joint group of students from the Theriogenology club and the Non-Traditional Species club. Dr. Sladky spoke on small mammal, reptile, and avian reproduction. He covered what was considered normal for several of the more popular species as well as covering common pathologies in these species. Exotic animal reproduction of this flavor is not a topic that is covered in depth in many places and his lecture was very insightful to the students present.

The Illinois Student Chapter of the Society for Theriogenology would like to thank the Theriogenology Foundation for the funds to bring Dr. Sladky to UIUC and we would like to thank Dr. Sladky for sharing his expertise with our students.

Congratulations to the AKC, AKC-CHF, TF Companion Animal Residents Beginning Their Programs in 2019 Jamie M. Douglas, DVM Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine Dr. Jamie M. Douglas received her DVM from Michigan State University College of Veterinary Medicine in 2014 and her master’s degree in animal science (focus: reproduction) from Southern Illinois University Carbondale’s College of Agricultural Sciences in 2015. She returned to Michigan State University to complete a veterinary internship in 2015. Dr. Douglas went on to hold a post-doctoral position with the Richard M. Schubot Parrot Wellness and Welfare program housed at the University of California, Davis’ School of Veterinary Medicine studying avian welfare and . Her future goals include holding a teaching position in a veterinary program, continuing to improve animal health through veterinary research, and providing services in the field of theriogenology to aid and improve reproductive performance in companion animals. She is the proud owner of three dogs, two Boston Terriers and what can only be described as a yeti (note: the yeti is a familial term and not in any way a breed recognized by the AKC).

Thoughts regarding the AKC/AKC CHF/TF Theriogenology Residency Program: I am so very grateful to have been selected for this training opportunity in the fields of canine health, canine futures, and research. Besides specializing in a field that I have always respected, I am afforded the opportunity to work alongside exceptional mentors at Auburn University thanks to the generosity of the AKC. An added bonus: I get to provide service, support, and give back to dogs, their owners, the Canine Performance athletes, and students each and every day.

Our goal is to find the genetic loci associated with key behavioral traits of military and service dogs. While decades of selective breeding practices have shaped The Working the canine genome, we now look to genetics to guide our selection of dogs for specific training and career paths. Dog Project THE BROAD INSTITUTE The Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard was launched in 2004 to use genomics to advance science and human health. In 2005, Broad scientists led an international team to decode the DNA of Tasha, the first dog ever sequenced. Since then, scientists have compared the DNA of hundreds of dogs and found millions of differences. Hidden in this complexity are the genetic variants shaping each dog’s behavior. INVEST IN IN-GENE-UITY! We have a unique opportunity today to apply cutting edge technology to identify the genes driving dog behavior. This is a critical first step. With the key genetic factors found, we can strategically select better working dogs, saving time, energy and dollars. Rarely do we have the opportunity to make such an impact for our national security and our disabled Americans. Please consider supporting the effort. For the Working Dog Project, it is critically important that we include both successful and unsuccessful dogs. We are interested in: Dogs who about to enter a training program Dogs who are currently enrolled in training Successful working dogs Dogs who were unable to complete their training program for behavioral reasons Working Together to We will compare the behavioral and genetic profiles of successful and Secure Our Present unsuccessful dogs to identify genes associated with working dog performance. By setting concrete and measurable goals with the two year Working Dog Project, we While Engineering the Future expect to powerfully advance any future phases, which may take years to explore. Our long term goal is to provide our partners with practical guidance, based on The Theriogenology Foundation our research, that will increase the number of dogs succeeding in our program. thanks AKC Reunite for their To donate to the Working Dog Project or learn more, please tremendous support for the visit: www.workingdogproject.org Working Dog Project AKC Reunite Mission Statement
