Agility Team Announced for European Open Championship
The Kennel Club has announced the selection of the Agility Team GB squad to compete at the 2010 European Open (EO) Agility Championships, which take place between the 23rd and 25th July in Liberec, Czech Republic.

The GB squad consists of a total of 12 large dogs and 12 small/medium dogs, making up six teams with four dogs in each. Under EO rules, small and medium dogs compete against each other in one group; the other group comprises the large dogs, which may not make up more than 50% of a country’s entries.
 
The team will be supported by the European Open team manager, Graham Partridge, together with coach Dave Jolly and vet Rachel Mowbray – herself an international agility competitor.
 
Graham Partridge commented: “The standard of the dogs at the Selection Day was very high, and we are going to Liberec with medals in mind. We are determined to build on our previous excellent performances at the European Open. We will be competing against some of the best in the world, but our target is to achieve podium finishes, and I believe that we have the talent to accomplish that.”

BVA urges 'continued vigilance' over bluetongue

The British Veterinary Association (BVA) has urged vigilance following a concerning rise in Bluetongue (BTV) cases in sheep and cattle.

In a recent statement, the BVA noted that members are reporting more severe clinical signs and higher mortality rates than in previous years.

'We know that farm vets are working hard to support farmers and animals affected by this outbreak, during what is an extremely difficult time for all involved,' they stated. 'Continued vigilance to identify disease early is vital and vaccination remains the best way of protecting animals from this disease.'
