Hi Juliet.  I'm sorry for your loss.  Ken and Velvet

 Gulliver would say something, but he's still trying to get over when his little sister Mooky was killed.

  Hello beach family and friends,
  This is my second attempt  of sending this e-mail to you all. May 26, 2007-- 
   I have to share my sad news. Today I had to put my sweet baby cat,  Cinomon to sleep. She became very ill yesterday and stopped eating, so I rushed her to the vet today. The diagnoses was terminal, she had jondus in the last stages. The vet said there was no cure, she was already shutting down by not eating and she would just die in a few days. Rather than finding her dead, I decided to set her free of her illness. She was put to sleep at 3:45 pm. Marly and I are having a hard time without her tonight. Cinamon was wonderful, loving and Marly's littlest  sister.  All of you who met her and had the opportunity to cuddle her I know agree. 

  In memory of CC,
  Love,
  JC and M

I'm so sorry about Cinnamon, Juliet.  I am so sorry.  But you did the right 
thing.  It's not fair to let them suffer.  I am sure Cinnamon knows you made 
her more comfortable.

Hi Peter.  I'll be there if we get back on time from my grand son's third birthday party.  Being three is very important, and I've put in my idea for the upcoming seminar as to a good focus.  I think it's something we all can do with ease and pride for our dogs and ourselves.  I say all this just in case I'm not available for the meeting; but I'll do my best.  Ken and Gulliver.

Hello All,
Last night, I mentioned that I have a file that has information 
for people when traveling through airports.  If you experience 
problems at any airport with your guide dog you can use the 
information I have given below.  This is for any problems, such 
as screeners, and anything else that you may come across while 
traveling through an airport.

Happy flying:
Dear Disability Rights Advocates:
As you may know, in August 2002, my office, the Office
of the Assistant
General Counsel for Aviation Enforcement and
Proceedings (Enforcement Office),
established a toll free number that consumers who
experience disability related
air travel problems may use to obtain information and
assistance.  ,
which is staffed from 7 am to 11 pm local time in
Washington, D.C., seven days a
week, provides general information to consumers about
the rights of air
travelers with disabilities and assists air travelers
in resolving time-sensitive
disability-related issues that need to be addressed in
real time.
Unfortunately, many members of the public are still
not aware of the existence of the
hotline and as a result the hotline is not being
sufficiently used.
At this time, the Enforcement Office asks that you
advise members of your
respective organizations about the existence of an
aviation consumer disability
toll-free hotline and encourage them to call the
hotline if they should
experience disability-related air service problems.
  **ininThe toll-free number for the
hotline is 1-800-778-4838 (voice) or 1-800-455-9880
(TTY).  The Enforcement
Office is committed to improving the quality of air
transportation for people
with disabilities and believes that with your help
the toll-free hotline can
be a major step towards accomplishing this goal.
Sincerely,
Samuel Podberesky
Assistant General Counsel for
 Aviation Enforcement and Proceedings
Robert Stigile

BBC NEWS
Cabbie banned for guide dog bar
A cab driver who refused to let a blind customer bring
her guide dog into his car has been disqualified from
driving.

Liakath Ali, 21, shouted "no dog" at Paula Thomas, of
London, leaving her distraught as she tried to enter
the taxi, Westminster magistrates heard.

It has been compulsory for licensed taxi drivers to
carry guide dogs since the Disability Discrimination
Act 1995.

Ali, of Woodstock Road, Bedford, was banned for seven
days for refusing to carry a person with a guide dog.

District Judge Quinton Purdy rejected Ali's claim he
has an allergy to dog hair and told him he behaved
disgracefully.

Mr Quinton said: "You knew they wanted a cab and
offered no explanation at all.

"Your own doctor acknowledged no apparent problem with
you."

The hearing heard how Mrs Thomas and her husband
Stephen, from Walthamstow, had left Highbury and
Islington station in July last year to get a
pre-booked
cab, having informed the firm's controller of the
guide dog - a black Labrador called Saddler.

The allocated taxi was driven by Ali who refused them
entry.

They could only continue their journey when a passing
police officer flagged them down another taxi.

In addition to the ban, Ali was ordered to pay ?200
costs and a ?200 fine.

Hello CAGDU Committee,
This e-mail was done Monday June 11:
I was so glad everyone showed up last night! All of the enthusiasm, =
    stories, jokes and laughter made it seem like a party instead of a business meeting. I always seem to mix pleasure with business , it makes it more productive, and last night that is exactly what we did. I can't wait to get together at convention!
    I will post more information in the next couple days.

Audible Exit Technology Sets The Tone For Life Safety


The Chief Engineer, IL, USA
Friday, June 01, 2007
Today's fire alarm control panels are highly sophisticated systems that
use innovative smoke and heat sensing technologies to deliver a rapid,
intelligent
response to fire emergencies. When activated, a fire alarm system is
capable of performing hundreds of pre-programmed action sequences 
within
fractions
of a second. But regardless of how technologically advanced these fire
alarm control panels are, their primary purpose is very simple - to 
save
lives.
Fire alarm systems notify building occupants that a fire emergency 
exists
in the building. And in the cases where the fire alarm panel includes 
an
emergency
voice evacuation system, occupants can be provided with detailed
evacuation instructions based on their location and proximity to the
emergency. But in
an emergency, a timely evacuation can be challenging. Fire alarm 
systems
use a combination of audible and visual appliances to notify building
occupants
of an emergency. In addition, visual queues such as exit signs are use
d to guide occupants to the nearest building exit. Exit signs work 
very
well in most applications. However, in a fire emergency, they can 
become
obstructed
and difficult to see due to smoke conditions. Exit signs are passive 
and
require people to track them down, which becomes increasingly difficult
if the
occupants are unfamiliar with the building layout and the location of 
its
emergency egress routes. Factor in the smoke that accompanies a fire
emergency,
and the occupants can easily become disoriented or lost in the 
facility.
Furthermore, persons with visual impairment are unable to follow exit
markings
or signage, rendering them virtually ineffective. Finding an 
alternative
to using traditional exit signs and egress markings was the challenge
facing Bud
Liptak, director of facilities at The Seeing Eye(r), North America's
premier guide dog school. Bud found the answer in Onyx(r) ExitPointT, a
revolutionary
audible exit technology from Notifier, a world leading manufacturer of
  commercial fire alarm systems and technology.

Since 1929, The Seeing Eye Dog in Morristown NJ has matched nearly 
14,000
specially bred and trained Seeing Eye dogs with blind men and women 
from
across
the United States and Canada. In pursuit of its philanthropic mission 
to
help blind people achieve greater independence, The Seeing Eye teaches
dogs to
guide blind people. Not only does the school instruct blind people in 
the
proper use and care of the dogs, it also breeds and raises the dogs,
teaches
instructors the science and technique of training the dogs, and 
educates
the public on how guide dogs enable blind people to live independently.
This school
is entirely unique; only dogs trained at The Seeing Eye can accurately 
be
called "Seeing Eye dogs."

The school is, undoubtedly, unique, and requires a fire alarm system 
with
the flexibility to address its special needs as well as the needs of 
its
occupants.
That's why, The Seeing Eye turned to Notifier and its local Engineered
Systems Distributor, United Fire Protection [UFP] for a new fire alarm
system. Although
The Seeing Eye has been a customer of Notifier and UFP, it was just
recently that the school and Liptak learned of the Onyx ExitPoint
evacuation guidance
system that perfectly addressed the needs of the blind students.

It was Frank Savino, president and CEO of United Fire Protection, who
actually brought this new technology to Bud Liptak's attention.

Savino recalled, "About a year ago at the Notifier Annual Distributor
Conference, I saw a demonstration of the Onyx ExitPoint notification
device, and it
just clicked with me; The Seeing Eye was an obvious candidate for this
technology."

What Savino saw, and what Liptak soon implemented, was an entirely new
audible exit technology that supplements visual exit markings like
emergency lighting,
signage, and photo luminescent guidance strips with interactive 
auditory
guidance. Capable of reducing evacuation times up to 75%, Notifier's 
Onyx
ExitPoint
system uses varying tones and intensities to provide directional cues
that don't conflict with traditional devices such as horns and bells.
ExitPoint emits
four different field selectable sound pulse patterns to help direct
occupants to egress pathways and building exits. It clearly defines an
immediate escape
route, especially for those without the gift of sight.

Installed at building exits or along egress routes, Onyx ExitPoint is a
compact sounder that produces broadband noise, acting as an audible 
exit
sign. Onyx
ExitPoint is triggered by a building's fire alarm control panel; it
guides building occupants towards the exits. Using changes in pitch, 
for
example, a
descending tone sound that goes from a high pitch to a low pitch,
ExitPoint can direct the students on upper floors to the exits on the
ground floor.

" Rich Fischer (the regional sales manager from Notifier) gave us a
presentation, and everyone here at the school was on board right from 
the
start," Liptak
said. "We knew we wanted to upgrade our system, and ExitPoint certainly
fit the bill. The system has been installed throughout our entire
administration
building, and has received nothing but favorable reviews from students,
teachers, the administration, and the local fire official.

To meet the budgetary needs of the non-profit institution, Notifier
donated the new equipment to the school, UFP designed and installed the
system at no
charge. Both the design and installation phases were extremely easy. 
UFP
was able to seamlessly integrate the product into the existing system,
completing
the installation in one week during the school's summer break.

" Part of the beauty of the ExitPoint system," Savino said, "is that it
can be easily retrofitted to existing notification circuits. This makes
for fast
installation. Also, the system draws an extremely low amount of power 
due
to the absence of strobes and other visual components. In most cases, 
it
can
be connected directly to existing notification circuits without any
additional wiring. However, consideration for power and load needs 
should
always be
evaluated."

Both Savino and Liptak appreciated the help they received from Notifier
personnel throughout the installation and ramp-up period. "Notifier's
Rich Fischer
was very helpful," Savino said. "He took time to meet directly with us
and The Seeing Eye people, explained how the ExitPoint technology 
works,
and provided
clear demonstrations to everyone. And from what we hear, the system has
been working without a hitch."

Liptak agreed, saying "We are very excited to be pioneers in our field
once again with this important life safety upgrade at our facility. In
addition to
the benefits of an auditory-based system, we have also found the
ExitPoint to be extremely reliable."

Onyx ExitPoint is currently in place on The Seeing Eye's main campus.
"Our students find the ExitPoint system to be extremely intuitive,"
Liptak said. "Usually
when a class first enters the building, we hold an Orientation with a
quick fire drill to help students get their bearings in the building. 
We
hold these
practice frills about once a month when a new class of students 
arrives."
There are also plans for expansion beyond the main campus. "We have a
'downtown
lounge' in downtown Morristown where students can relax while their
classmates are in training," said Liptak. "We're upgrading the lounge 
in
the coming
months and are encouraging the landlord to install the ExitPoint 
system."

The benefits of this extraordinary system are clearly easy to hear. In
fact, when it comes to this exit technology, hearing is believing.

  Audible Exit Technology Sets The Tone For Life Safety


  The Chief Engineer, IL, USA
  Friday, June 01, 2007
  Today's fire alarm control panels are highly sophisticated systems that
  use innovative smoke and heat sensing technologies to deliver a rapid,
  intelligent
  response to fire emergencies. When activated, a fire alarm system is
  capable of performing hundreds of pre-programmed action sequences 
  within
  fractions
  of a second. But regardless of how technologically advanced these fire
  alarm control panels are, their primary purpose is very simple - to 
  save
  lives.
  Fire alarm systems notify building occupants that a fire emergency 
  exists
  in the building. And in the cases where the fire alarm panel includes 
  an
  emergency
  voice evacuation system, occupants can be provided with detailed
  evacuation instructions based on their location and proximity to the
  emergency. But in
  an emergency, a timely evacuation can be challenging. Fire alarm 
  systems
  use a combination of audible and visual appliances to notify building
  occupants
  of an emergency. In addition, visual queues such as exit signs are use
  d to guide occupants to the nearest building exit. Exit signs work 
  very
  well in most applications. However, in a fire emergency, they can 
  become
  obstructed
  and difficult to see due to smoke conditions. Exit signs are passive 
  and
  require people to track them down, which becomes increasingly difficult
  if the
  occupants are unfamiliar with the building layout and the location of 
  its
  emergency egress routes. Factor in the smoke that accompanies a fire
  emergency,
  and the occupants can easily become disoriented or lost in the 
  facility.
  Furthermore, persons with visual impairment are unable to follow exit
  markings
  or signage, rendering them virtually ineffective. Finding an 
  alternative
  to using traditional exit signs and egress markings was the challenge
  facing Bud
  Liptak, director of facilities at The Seeing Eye(r), North America's
  premier guide dog school. Bud found the answer in Onyx(r) ExitPointT, a
  revolutionary
  audible exit technology from Notifier, a world leading manufacturer of
    commercial fire alarm systems and technology.

  Since 1929, The Seeing Eye Dog in Morristown NJ has matched nearly 
  14,000
  specially bred and trained Seeing Eye dogs with blind men and women 
  from
  across
  the United States and Canada. In pursuit of its philanthropic mission 
  to
  help blind people achieve greater independence, The Seeing Eye teaches
  dogs to
  guide blind people. Not only does the school instruct blind people in 
  the
  proper use and care of the dogs, it also breeds and raises the dogs,
  teaches
  instructors the science and technique of training the dogs, and 
  educates
  the public on how guide dogs enable blind people to live independently.
  This school
  is entirely unique; only dogs trained at The Seeing Eye can accurately 
  be
  called "Seeing Eye dogs."

  The school is, undoubtedly, unique, and requires a fire alarm system 
  with
  the flexibility to address its special needs as well as the needs of 
  its
  occupants.
  That's why, The Seeing Eye turned to Notifier and its local Engineered
  Systems Distributor, United Fire Protection [UFP] for a new fire alarm
  system. Although
  The Seeing Eye has been a customer of Notifier and UFP, it was just
  recently that the school and Liptak learned of the Onyx ExitPoint
  evacuation guidance
  system that perfectly addressed the needs of the blind students.

  It was Frank Savino, president and CEO of United Fire Protection, who
  actually brought this new technology to Bud Liptak's attention.

  Savino recalled, "About a year ago at the Notifier Annual Distributor
  Conference, I saw a demonstration of the Onyx ExitPoint notification
  device, and it
  just clicked with me; The Seeing Eye was an obvious candidate for this
  technology."

  What Savino saw, and what Liptak soon implemented, was an entirely new
  audible exit technology that supplements visual exit markings like
  emergency lighting,
  signage, and photo luminescent guidance strips with interactive 
  auditory
  guidance. Capable of reducing evacuation times up to 75%, Notifier's 
  Onyx
  ExitPoint
  system uses varying tones and intensities to provide directional cues
  that don't conflict with traditional devices such as horns and bells.

One wonders how Hinkson got out of the towers.  Seriously though, we were at a movie once and the fire alarm went off.  Gulliver found the exit just fine.  He just followed the crowd.  I think my trusty cane Dickey the stick would have done just as well.  I gotta go.

  ExitPoint is triggered by a building's fire alarm control panel; it
  guides building occupants towards the exits. Using changes in pitch, 
  for
  example, a
  descending tone sound that goes from a high pitch to a low pitch,
  ExitPoint can direct the students on upper floors to the exits on the
  ground floor.

  " Rich Fischer (the regional sales manager from Notifier) gave us a
  presentation, and everyone here at the school was on board right from 
  the
  start," Liptak
  said. "We knew we wanted to upgrade our system, and ExitPoint certainly
  fit the bill. The system has been installed throughout our entire
  administration
  building, and has received nothing but favorable reviews from students,
  teachers, the administration, and the local fire official.

  To meet the budgetary needs of the non-profit institution, Notifier
  donated the new equipment to the school, UFP designed and installed the
  system at no
  charge. Both the design and installation phases were extremely easy. 
  UFP
  was able to seamlessly integrate the product into the existing system,
  completing
  the installation in one week during the school's summer break.

  " Part of the beauty of the ExitPoint system," Savino said, "is that it
  can be easily retrofitted to existing notification circuits. This makes
  for fast
  installation. Also, the system draws an extremely low amount of power 
  due
  to the absence of strobes and other visual components. In most cases, 
  it
  can
  be connected directly to existing notification circuits without any
  additional wiring. However, consideration for power and load needs 
  should
  always be
  evaluated."

  Both Savino and Liptak appreciated the help they received from Notifier
  personnel throughout the installation and ramp-up period. "Notifier's
  Rich Fischer
  was very helpful," Savino said. "He took time to meet directly with us
  and The Seeing Eye people, explained how the ExitPoint technology 
  works,
  and provided
  clear demonstrations to everyone. And from what we hear, the system has
  been working without a hitch."

  Liptak agreed, saying "We are very excited to be pioneers in our field
  once again with this important life safety upgrade at our facility. In
  addition to
  the benefits of an auditory-based system, we have also found the
  ExitPoint to be extremely reliable."

  Onyx ExitPoint is currently in place on The Seeing Eye's main campus.
  "Our students find the ExitPoint system to be extremely intuitive,"
  Liptak said. "Usually
  when a class first enters the building, we hold an Orientation with a
  quick fire drill to help students get their bearings in the building. 
  We
  hold these
  practice frills about once a month when a new class of students 
  arrives."
  There are also plans for expansion beyond the main campus. "We have a
  'downtown
  lounge' in downtown Morristown where students can relax while their
  classmates are in training," said Liptak. "We're upgrading the lounge 
  in
  the coming
  months and are encouraging the landlord to install the ExitPoint 
  system."

  The benefits of this extraordinary system are clearly easy to hear. In
  fact, when it comes to this exit technology, hearing is believing.

Message-ID: <200706131443.l5DEhYId012931@lothlorien.nfbcal.org>

Hello All,
A couple of years ago, when the National convention was held last 
in Kentucky, we were in a meeting when the fire alarms went off.
They said everyone had to evacuate, so I grabbed my braillenote, 
and followed the crowd.  Wonder went slowly for the first time in 
his life, following the crowd as we made it out to the street 
with the rest of the 3,000 people.
It turned out that there was a fire in the kitchen on the second 
level, and the fire department got it out very quickly.
It is nice to see that when there is an emergency, that our dogs 
will do whatever they need to do to get us to safety.
Take care,

Robert Stigile

we were at a movie once and the fire alarm went off.  Gulliver 
found the exit just fine.  He just followed the crowd.  I think 
my trusty cane Dickey the stick would have done just as well.  I 
gotta go.

Juliett,
    I thought I was leaving that up to you, as you have several people to coordinate and I am fairly flexible. I will be arriving on Saturday afternoon and my departure is still unsure. It may be as early as Tuesday or I may be staying the whole week. So, if we could set a time before Tuesday, I would be sure to be there. The NAGDU meetings are on Saturday and Monday from 7:00 - 10:00 p.m. Any time other than that is fine with me. Just check with the other CAGDU board members and let me know the time. We'll arrange the place.

Peace!
Marion

    Dear All,
        Robert gave me your contact information, so I wanted to take this opportunity to thank each of you personally for your service to the National Federation of the Blind and the national Association of Guide Dog Users. Since Peter doesn't seem to have email, please pass this message on to him, as well.
        The strength of the Federation is in our unity and collective action. All parts of our organization work cooperatively to achieve our goals and our special interest divisions are an essential element. As we develop state Affiliates and divisions our work is divided into manageable tasks with knowledgeable leaders. Local leadershyip is essential, as you know the culture of your community and its leadership. For this reason, it is easier to manage local issues and avocate for our constituents with local assistance. likewise, the national leadership can provide valuable guideance while creating a network that spreads across the country and throughout our ranks. The work you do in California has a tremendous impact on the lives of all blind people. I want to express my gratitude to each of you who have chosen to serve in our Movement and encourage you to continue serving as you feel led.
        Robert has advised me that most of you will be coming to the national convention in Atlanta. Though we will be together at the NAGDU meeting, so will a large number of others. I would like to have the chance to get together with you as a group in a more intimate setting than our annual meeting so we can get to know each other and share our ideas, plans, and desires for our future. There are many great places to eat near the convention, so let's plan on sharing a meal and some fellowship in our busy convention schedules.
        Robert has told me that the NFBC convention is in Sacramento this year at the end of October. My daughter is stationed in San Francisco with the Coast Guard and is recently married. I have not yet met my new son-in-law and might be able to make your convention. I'll let you know better later in the summer.
        Until we meet, I wish you great success in your endeavors and offer you my support. If there is anything I can do for you, please feel free to call upon me. My contact information is below my signature.

    Fraternally yours,

Hello Juliet,
Sunday will be best for me.
I have a meeting starting at 7:30 pm on Sunday, so I would need 
to be done by then.
So, if we went around 5:00 pm that would be great.
If you need to do this on Saturday, go ahead, and have it without 
me.
Thanks,

Robert Stigile

Hello Marion,

OK, I have spoken to the troop, how does Sunday at 5:00 pm sound? There are thirteen of us now and one big wheelchair. Most of us have dogs of course. There are  about eleven dogs, but they are all well behaved and very cute Californians. I guess you and I are the coordinators, so let's coordinate! Oh yes, everyone please help and put your two cents in.

 

Do you know of any good restaurants around there? I know of one that was across the street. It was reasonable and good, but they were very busy and I don't know if we can make reservations. Also, Peter and Fred found a bar b cue place that they really liked, so Peter might remember where it is.



 It would be nice if we could find a big quiet place like a meeting room and maybe pre order sandwiches and drinks from a deli.  

 

I know in Dallas and Detroit there was a park right outside the hotel. We need to stay close to the hotel because Robert has a 7:30 pm meeting, and we want him to be able to join us.



This is all just food for thought...

 

Everyone come up with your thought and make this a fun time for all!



Thanks,

Juliet and Marly

I bought some walking shoes today.  I was helped by a very nice lady who fitted me out and said, "walk around the store and see how those shoes feel."  As soon as Gulliver and I got up,  the whole store full of workers and customers disappeared into the back.  When I returned to my seat, the sales lady apologized for her coworkers.  "they're all Muslims.  It's because of the dog."  Like it or not, we're on the streets and in stores and shopping malls everywhere  As blind people, we have enough to worry about without having to put up with misinformed religious bigots. Muslims have a choice to make.  If their religion prohibits them from dealing with the public, then they will forever be marginalized.  We learned that lessen years ago.

Subject: [Cagdu] cab ride denied   again, lets stick together 
Message-ID: <001401c7b503$df4c7e10$a4cb6f44@user1b3ecca35d>

Hello CAGDU Community,    I had a call this morning from a CAGDU member who was denied a ride home by a cab because of his guide dog. The excuse was the driver claimed he was afraid of dogs. YES, he was a foreign, and the cab company went along with it. They send out a new cab for him, but I am not clear if they knew about the A D A in our country. We did collect the information and we will start a complaint asp. However, this just reconfirms the urgency of our educational seminar. Please support our CAGDU Community and please help us make a difference by getting involved. We must support our dogs and stick together no matter what school or agency we belong to. Please start by helping me to circulate this message.
Sincerely,
Juliet Cody
President

Air Canada to be 'no fly zone' for pets

BREAKING NEWS

UPI:
Air Canada to be 'no fly zone' for pets

Jun 22 12:57 PM US/Eastern

OTTAWA,
June 22 (UPI) -- Beginning in July, Air Canada will no
longer allow passengers to take pets along, even if
the animals are placed in the baggage compartment.

The airline announced this week in a letter to the
Canadian Transportation Agency
that it will cease allowing pets on its aircraft as of
July 15, Canada&apos;s CBC News reported.

With baggage allowances shrinking,
Air Canada
said it had to make a choice between using cargo space
to carry pets for a few passengers or making room for
more luggage.

Airline spokesman Peter Fitzpatrick denied to the CBC
that the pet ban is related to an incident in January
2004 when a dog belonging to a British Columbia
family died of
carbon monoxide
poisoning while traveling in the cargo hold of an Air
Canada jetliner.

Decoding the secret lives of dogs
DNA testing used to study disease and confirm
pedigrees is also being used to reveal which breeds
make up a mutt's background.
By Karen Kaplan
Times Staff Writer

June 24, 2007

The Wilson family had puzzled over their mutt Drake's
distinctive behavior ever since they brought him home
from the Washington Animal Rescue League four
years ago.

Workers at the shelter told them the dog was a mix of
spaniel and Plott hound. But his propensity to leap
over 4-foot fences and herd family members as
if they were livestock had them thinking border
collie.

The answer to Drake's past came in the form of a $65
DNA test that promised to scour his genes for telltale
signs of the breeds in his family tree. "We
were always curious as to what breeds went together to
create him," Marcy Wilson said. "We just assumed we
could never find out."

Not long ago, genetic testing was a rarefied pursuit
used primarily to settle paternity suits, diagnose
medical conditions and identify rapists and killers.

Now DNA testing has gone to the dogs. With sequencing
technology becoming less expensive, dog owners are
having their pets tested - and sometimes finding
that unraveling the mysteries of their genetic code
can be a mixed blessing.

For less money than a luxury shampoo and doggy
massage, owners of Canis familiaris can uncover their
pooch's ancestry or take an inventory of its
constituent
breeds. The tests can also reveal debilitating health
problems and other genetic surprises.

"If you're an animal lover, you can't resist this,"
said Jan Lovelady, a nurse administrator in Gilbert,
Ariz., who had her mutt's DNA analyzed to see which
breeds were in his lineage.

Half a dozen or so dog DNA analysis companies have
sprouted across the country and peddle their services
at dog shows and over the Internet. The firms guard
their sales figures closely, but each claims to have
tested several hundred to several thousand dogs.

The DNA of 400,000 purebred dams and sires has been
registered with the American Kennel Club, which has
required breeders to submit genetic samples since
1998.

But the rush to genetically type man's best friends
has raised many of the same concerns as the typing of
man himself.

"It's one more way of codifying the American cultural
belief in genes as the foundation of everything
important," said Donna Haraway, a historian of science
and culture at UC Santa Cruz. "I find it mildly
disgusting."

Then again, as the proud owner of two dogs, she added:
"I might actually buy such a test."

Dog DNA tests generally fall into three categories:
proof of maternity or paternity, genealogy, and
identification of mutations associated with disease.
Genetic tests are available for other animals - to
determine the sex of birds, for instance, or the coat
color that cats may pass to their kittens.

Far more can be gleaned about dogs because of their
use in medical research for human diseases, including
cancer, heart disease, blindness, epilepsy and
diabetes. The complete dog genome was published in
2005, making it the fifth mammalian genome decoded,
after humans, mice, rats and chimpanzees.

The earliest consumer tests stemmed from the American
Kennel Club's attempts to ensure the validity of
pedigrees for 155 breeds of dogs.

As it turned out, the DNA evidence cast a shadow on
the scrupulous record-keeping that is the hallmark of
elite purebreds.

When the policy was implemented nine years ago, random
inspections found that 13% of puppies had the wrong
parents listed on their pedigrees, said club
spokeswoman Lisa Peterson.

Some of those cases involved legitimate mix-ups,
because puppies in the same litter can have different
fathers. But there were also cases that involved
unscrupulous breeders falsifying information on a
pedigree to boost the puppy's value.

"Whenever there's a question about the parents, it
raises questions about the integrity of the breeder,"
said Randall Smith, manager for DDC Veterinary,
a Fairfield, Ohio, company that tests tens of
thousands of animal DNA samples each year.

Today, the pedigree error rate has dropped to about
4%, according to the AKC.

Genetic tests have proven a powerful tool for breeders
to continue shaping the evolution of dogs, which began
more than 15,000 years ago when a few curious
wolves ventured into ancient human encampments.
Selecting for desired traits like docility and
obedience, prehistoric people domesticated those
animals
and created a new species.

But hundreds of years of inbreeding to create modern
purebred dogs has come at a cost. Certain breeds have
persistent genetic problems cemented into their
DNA. A crippling joint ailment known as hip dysplasia,
for instance, is common among German shepherds,
Labrador retrievers, Rottweilers and other large
dogs.

Joan Bendure, who breeds Portuguese water dogs in
Fairview, Pa., became interested in canine genetics
when two of her dogs were diagnosed with progressive
retinal atrophy, a disease that attacks peripheral and
nighttime vision before leading to blindness.

The disease "destroyed a lot of kennels," she said.
"For me, it took four dogs out of the breeding pool
and left me with one."

Bendure and other Portuguese water dog owners
recruited a pair of ophthalmologists to study the
disease and sent them DNA samples from their blind
dogs.

The researchers zeroed in on the gene responsible and
discovered that it took two faulty copies to make a
dog go blind. Dogs carrying a single defective
copy from one parent were not affected.

With a genetic test in hand, it became possible to
breed dogs with one mutated gene as long as their
mates were "clean." That helped keep the gene pool
bigger and the overall population healthier, Bendure
said. "If you don't have healthy dogs, it doesn't
matter how beautiful they are," she said.

For many dog owners, the allure of peering into DNA
stems from a simpler desire. No matter how well they
think they know their dog, there is always a sense
of mystery about them.

Rob and Carole Sims of Morrisville, N.C., turned to
DNA to answer a question that had stumped them for
years: How could their two golden retrievers - born
of the same mother and father - be so maddeningly
different?

Liberty was gentle, mild-mannered and easy to train;
Justice was the complete opposite. It drove the Simses
crazy.

Had there been a mix-up at the kennel? Did they take
home the wrong dog?

Rob Sims mailed swabs from the dogs' cheeks to a lab
in Ohio that charged $35 for each test. The results
arrived 10 days later.

"As soon as you open the report, it's crystal clear -
they're sisters," he said.

The DNA results did little to explain why the sisters
were so different. But it helped him to accept Justice
for the dog that she is.

As the dogs have grown, he has even come to embrace
their differences. He compares them to his daughters,
Audra and Nicole, one a forest service investigator
and the other a high school computer science teacher.

"I have to say in retrospect, I'm absolutely delighted
that we have Liberty and Justice," he said.

A more elaborate test was necessary to parse out the
various breeds that made up Marcy and Rip Wilsons'
dog, Drake.

Tests to determine various breeds examine specific
points in a dog's DNA and look for signature patterns
that are known to be correlated with specific breeds.

"It's just like when people say, 'Where'd your
ancestors come from?' " said Elaine Ostrander, who
helped develop one such test while searching for genes
to study cancer in dogs at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer
Research Center in Seattle.

The result is a blood test that can detect DNA
contributions from 134 recognized breeds. Mars
Veterinary will begin selling it through vet offices
next
month under the name Wisdom Panel.

The Wilsons used a $65 Canine Heritage Breed Test from
MMI Genomics Inc. of Davis, Calif. The test looks at
96 points and can identify 38 breeds that encompass
75% of all dogs.

"We always thought he was a border collie," Marcy
Wilson said. "If we go anywhere near the foyer of the
house, he will come from whatever room he's in and
try to herd us out the door."

While they waited for Drake's test results, the four
family members placed $1 bets on his true heritage.
"We were all guessing border collie, chow and lower
levels of lab and spaniel," Marcy Wilson said.

They were right about the Labrador and spaniel genes,
but none of them expected that the test would conclude
he was more Siberian husky than anything else.

After the results came in, Rip Wilson spent hours
reading up on huskies to better understand his dog's
true nature.

In retrospect, said the biotech executive, the family
shouldn't have been so surprised. Drake's proclivity
for digging holes near the backyard azalea bush
turned out to be a characteristic husky trait.

And that's not all.

"He adores the snow - he'll just hang outside in the
snow for hours," Rip Wilson said. "I never clued in on
it."
