Go Ahead for New Bedlington Terrier DNA Scheme
The Kennel Club has approved a new DNA testing scheme for Bedlington Terriers.

The Kennel Club has recently approved an official DNA testing scheme for copper toxicosis (COMMD1) in Bedlington Terriers, after a request from Bedlington Terrier breed clubs.

Copper toxicosis is an inherited disorder that results in liver disease from copper accumulation and toxicity.

The official DNA test is offered by the Animal Health Trust. Copies of all future test certificates will be sent directly from the AHT to the Kennel Club from the beginning of November, where the test result will be added to the dog's details on the registration database.

Owners of dogs who have already had their dog(s) DNA tested for this condition can send copies of the DNA certificates to the Kennel Club and the data will be added to the dog's registration details.

Milk recalled over presence of veterinary medicines

Graham's Family Dairy has issued a recall for its semi-skimmed milk due to the presence of veterinary medicines in the product.

In a risk statement, the Food Standards Agency said the presence of the medicines, including penicillin, make the milk unsafe to consume and 'may be a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to antibiotics'.

Customers who bought the product are advised to return it to the store of purchase for a full refund.
