And remember: All Scottie DNA Matters!

When: Saturday August 24, 2024

Time: 11AM to 3PM -  Please print out forms, one per dog, and have filled out prior to the DNA draw. There will be a VET and VET tech to do that draws.  We will have a gift for your pup. 

Where: Dayton Dog Training Club, 3046 E. River Rd, Moraine, OH, in conjunction with the STCGD Family Fun Show (kitchen area).

Who will draw the blood? Dr. Gary Smith of PetCare Animal Hospital, Loveland Ohio. Dr. Smith will have a veterinary technician to assist him.

Why not just do a cheek swab for the DNA sample?  The DNA bank is storing the highest quality and quantity of DNA from all Scotties for future research. The best quality and quantity of Scottie DNA is derived from a blood sample, not the cheek swab. The amount of blood needed is very small, no more than half of a teaspoon. 

What does it cost? There will be no charge to you. The Health Trust Fund of the STCA is paying all expenses.

Do I have to pre-register? It would be helpful to send us your name, email and number of Scotties you plan to bring so we can be prepared with materials and paperwork for everyone. But pre-registration is not necessary, and we welcome all Scotties to this event. 


What do I need to bring? Please bring your Scottie's AKC number, sire and dam’s names if known, date of birth, color, and microchip number if your Scottie is chipped. And don’t forget your Scotties!


What about paperwork? We will help you with the necessary forms and materials when you arrive. If you want to save time, you can fill out the two forms ahead of time and bring them with you.

See the links below to each form.
