Notice for ACC Members – June 23, 2021

Do you have a keen interest in the latest canine health research? The ACC Board of Directors just learned that the AKC Canine Health Foundation’s Parent Club Canine Health Conference is going virtual this year! No costly lodging or travel expenses! This allows more people to take advantage of the conference and to get updates on Canine Health Foundation funded research projects. There will be reports on several research projects that the American Chesapeake Club has financially supported with our Purina Parent Club Partnership/AKC Canine Health Foundation Donor Advised Fund.  Session topics will include a focus on dermatology and immunology, canine cancer, neurology and epilepsy, and cardiac disease in dogs. There will be a session on Degenerative Myelopathy research.
