Read about the 2011 PCA Foundation Seminar: Christopher Pachel, DVM, DACVB, had some surprises for his audience as he brought us up to date on factors shaping puppy temperament and the art of socializing our puppies, including the art of helping new owners build on their puppy’s good start. Dr. Pachel is a board certified veterinary behaviorist with extensive experience including house calls! For more on his talk,

What is the Foundation?
The Poodle Club of America Foundation, Inc. is a non-profit, charitable corporation dedicated to the health and future of Poodles. Formed with the purpose of giving something back to this breed that gives us so much, the Foundation provides financial and other support for organizations focusing their charitable, educational and research efforts on dogs in general and the Poodle in particular. With the generous support of our founders and ongoing contributors, these efforts have led to advances such as identification of a genetic mutation for Progressive Retinal Atrophy in Poodles and development of the prcd-PRA DNA test that has allowed Poodle breeders to virtually eliminate the once-common blindness caused by prcd-PRA. |
