The following 40 UK Vizslas
robustly satisfy the
phenotypic criteria required
by the current research.
This project aims to develop
a DNA test for our breed
specific variant of Polymyositis.
The owners of these PM
affected vizslas are
generously committed to transparency in
the hope that many
more DNA samples (via saliva
or blood) might be
generated.
Please
email Di Addicott
directly or ring 01576
202258 if you are able to
provide contact information
for cooperative owners of
the sires, dams,
offspring or siblingsof
the 42 individuals listed below
(click on each name to see a
full pedigree)
More samples are
needed for the research to
proceed. It is the only way
that we can hope to develop
a DNA test and thus rid our
gene pool of the scourge of
this distressing disease.
Please help.
*Note1
-There is quite a number of
further affected vizslas
whose owners prefer not to
participate in this project
- confidentiality is always
assured for those
individuals who
prefer it. There are also
other "probably" affected vizslas for which we do not
have *quite* sufficiently
robust clinical evidence to
confirm phenotypicality.
Please also know that there
is excellent reason to be
certain that the vizslas
identified in the open
registry are but the tip of
the iceberg.

Hungarian Vizsla Club
and Hungarian Vizsla Society provide

to have Associations
committed to the future
heath and wellbeing of the
breed
