Pup of the month
We are now recruiting puppies from anywhere in the UK/ROI, of any breed or cross-breed. If your puppy is 16 weeks of age or under please consider signing up, and joining the Generation Pup community. You could help us to make Generation Pup a once in a lifetime study with benefits for all of dogdom! Plus your puppy could be chosen as ‘Pup of the Month’.
Project news
Meet this handsome chap – Ezekiel! His owner Lillie had these words to share with us: “He is my hero. He is training with DOG A.I.D to be my assistance dog. He is fun loving, kind, very clever and a little bit nuts. We call him out Midnight Lion due to his big black man of fluffy black fur (he is otherwise known as Flufty Pants).” Esekiel has won a Dogs Trust dog toy to play with.
We are delighted to announce that Betsy’s owner – Sue has been selected as this month’s winner. Thank you to Sue and Betsy for being part of Generation Pup.
A reminder to our wonderful owners that completing your most recent questionnaire could give you a chance of being selected as ‘Owner of the Month’. Every winner can pick a Dogs Trust gift for themselves, or a fun toy for their pup!
Four members of the Generation Pup team have had clinical research abstracts accepted for oral presentations at BSAVA Congress in April 2019! The abstracts are short summaries of recent research findings from Generation Pup. Well done to Rosa Da Costa, Rachel Kinsman, Dr Michelle Lord and Josh Woodward, and all others who have been involved – Dr Emma Buckland, Dr Rachel Casey, Prof Toby Knowles, Dr Jane Murray and Prof Séverine Tasker.
The congress will be held in Birmingham. It will likely be attended by over 6,000 delegates. These presentations give the team a fantastic opportunity to raise awareness of this ground-breaking research project.
All four team members plan to submit papers for publication this year, so stay tuned as we will share these findings with you when we can!
Meet this gorgeous fluffy pup – Gillie! Her owner Rebecca tells us that Gillie is a Smooth Coat Chow Chow who has everyone wrapped round her little paw thanks to her “I’m a little princess and I know it” sassy personality. Gillie has won a Dogs Trust dog toy which Rebecca has generously decided to donate to a dog in the care of one of the Dogs Trust Rehoming Centres.
Merry Christmas from all of us in the Generation Pup team! To view this year’s fabulous Christmas card, which is covered in Generation Pup dogs, please click here.
