I initially created this site because I wanted to try my hand at HTML and the internet.  I didn't expect it to be as popular as it has become.  My veterinary career has expanded over the past few years and I don't have the time to respond like I did a few years ago.  I apologize for this.  There is nothing that I enjoy more than talking about and working with athletic and working dogs. I have come up with some solutions to address this response problem.

Athletic and Working Dog Newsletter

  • Many times over the past few years I have attempted to write a book  that can be read by any individual that is associated with athletic and working dogs.  Unfortunately there has never been a long enough period of time to work on a book.
  • I did write a book section about the basics of canine performance and it included a diagnostic algorithm that can be used to evaluate performance of the Athletic or working dog.
  • I would like to publish information that can help those individuals that work with dogs.  I have decided the best way to do this is in the form of a newsletter.
    • I would have time to put together four to six pages of information every two months and send it out to people that would be interested.
    • An up-to-date Newsletter would be better than a book because this is a very rapidly expanding field and new data is being produced almost daily.

Analyzing Motion and Soundness in the Dog

I am very excited to present this instructional compact disc. The intent of this instructional compact disk (CD) is to introduce the user to the basics of gait analysis and soundness evaluation of the dog.
