Erny Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 (edited) Looks like a good place to be to me. Im in anyone want to join me? Julie You mean going to the seminar, or being on the speaking list? I'm quite concerned about these studies, as was made quite clear in the other thread on it. If I can be there, I think it would be good to be able to listen and comment. Edited January 12, 2010 by Erny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlc Posted January 12, 2010 Author Share Posted January 12, 2010 We're hoping to hold a seminar that's inclusive and aims to open up discussion amongst all stakeholders. . Were representatives from the VCA, ANKC or MDBA invited to speak? That's a question for the Animal Welfare Science Centre. As mentioned above, two of the speakers are registered pure bred breeders. You're certainly all very welcome to attend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mlc Posted January 12, 2010 Author Share Posted January 12, 2010 The MDBA wasnt invited. I wonder why not ? Are they actively involved in the Animal Welfare Science Centre? I think all the speakers are involved with the AWSC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

megan_ Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 The MDBA wasnt invited. I wonder why not ? not high profile? May people don't know who they are??? the MDBA also isn't the representing body of pure breeders - the ANKC is? (not a criticism steve, just an pbservation...)

Erny Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 going to the seminar- Cant be a speaker we ddnt get an invite. Ya mean you're coming down to Melbourne? There's a room for you here, if you would like one. As per previous post, I plan to be there. Would be great if you/MDBA were invited as a speaker.

Erny Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 with the VCA/ANKC to breed pedigree dogs. Are they representing the VCA/ANKC, or just themselves. Themselves only, I presume? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
centitout Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Of course no one from the canine councils,MDBA would have been invited,registered breeders are the ones they will be bagging out-we are responsible,according to some, for everything that is wrong in dogs,purebred , genetic or not,because we like the breeds we do,they are not interested in our viewpoints, research or experiences,minds are already made up that the only way dog health will be fixed is to force us out through ridiculous legislation or to breed The ideal "generic " oodle dog. Oh,and crossbreds do not have any health problems because of their HYBRID VIGOUR according to the experts,so lets everyone breed another 400,000 a year,as long as they are part of an "association' thats all fine. Dont think i could sit through that. Call me cynical,but i agree with Erny- I wonder what hare brained legislation will be formed next for the non -puppy farmer,mass pet shop producer?

Erny Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Do you have any further info on exactly what topics Goddard is speaking on? Not much is said on the flier, Steve. Haven't got your current email address on this computer. If you email me [email protected], I'll forward you the email I received togehter with the flier. From what I see, this is all that it says on Goddard : Mike Goddard: Genetics of dog behaviour and breeding programs to improve canine welfareMichael Goddard is Professorial Fellow in Animal Genetics at University of Melbourne and Victorian Department of Primary Industries (DPI). He graduated in veterinary science and did his PhD at University of Melbourne on the topic of „A breeding program for guide dogs for the blind‟ in conjunction with the Royal Guide Dogs for the Blind Association. Since then he has worked at James Cook University in Townsville, DPI in Victoria and University of New England in Armidale where, as well as teaching, his research has been on the genetic improvement of livestock. He was recently awarded an honorary doctorate from the Life Sciences University of Norway for his contributions to livestock genetics. In 2010 he will be a keynote speaker at the World Congress on Genetics Applied to Livestock Production in Leipzig, Germany. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoofnHoof Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Wish I was in Melbourne it would be quite interesting to see this, I hope a good number of people go it would be pretty boring without a cross section of opinions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be so great if you would actually come and see and listen and speak and participate and be a part of the day. How else will you share your viewpoints, research and experiences? That's what these speakers are aiming to do - share ideas and be open to discussion. Come along and be part of it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
