  • The English Setter Association of America
    The English Setter Association of America Judges’ Education Presentation The first dog registered with the AKC was an English Setter named ADONNIS Champion Rock Falls Colonel Retired from the show ring in 1955 and was the first dog in the history of the AKC to have won 100 Best in Shows. Did You Know? The first AKC-licensed pointing-breeds field trial was conducted by the English Setter Club of America in 1924 in Medford, NJ. Original Purpose & History of the English Setter The English Setter is one of the oldest breeds of gun dog with a history dating back to the 14th century. It was thought to be developed between crosses of Spanish Pointer, Water Spaniel and the Springer Spaniel. Its purpose was to point, flush and retrieve upland game birds. The modern English Setter owes its appearance to Mr. EDWARD LAVERACK, who developed his own strain of the breed by careful inbreeding during the 19th century. Another Englishman, Mr. R. PURCELL LLEWELLIN began a second strain based upon Laverack’s line that developed into the working setter. Today you will hear the term Llewellin Setter. This is not a separate breed, just a different type, more often referred to as the Field Setter. This strain is more often used in field trials. ▪Although the Llewellin English Setter is still the predominate type seen in the field today, Laverack English Setters are making their mark. ▪The first Dual Champion finished in 1985. ▪There are 13 Dual Champions to date. ▪Numerous show English Setters have earned hunting titles. ▪You will see whiskers left on.

  • Canine Immune-Mediated Thrombocytopenia SCVS
    Canine Immune-Mediated Thrombocytopenia What are platelets and what do they do? Platelets are a component of blood. Platelets are made in the bone marrow and are required to form blood clots and stop bleeding. Without them, severe bruising or bleeding can result. Primary hemostasis is the initial clotting that takes place after trauma to a blood vessel; this is completed by platelets Secondary hemostasis is the stabilization and organization of the blood clot; this is completed by coagulation proteins and is required for a clot to stay intact White blood cells and Red blood cells are the other blood cells; white cells fight infection as part of the immune system; red cells carry oxygen to internal organs What is immune-mediated thrombocytopenia (ITP)? ITP is a disease in which the immune system reacts against platelets just as it would against a foreign bacteria or virus. When this happens, platelets are destroyed, and bleeding or bruising often results. This often results in anemia and leads to a number of common clinical signs. If left untreated, death can result. Anemia is a low red cell count Thrombocytopenia is a low platelet count; it can result from a number of potential causes Evans’ syndrome is the combined immune mediated destruction of red blood cells and platelets What causes ITP? The causes of ITP are still not well understood. ITP can result from a primary immune system problem or result secondary to some other condition . Primary ITP is associated with certain breeds and is presumed to have a genetic component. Diseases that have been associated with ITP include cancerous, inflammatory, and infectious disease.
