BSAVA Research Grant

The BSAVA has recently launched a new research grant specifically relating to Border Terriers. A substantial proportion of the funds for this have been donated by the group Border Terrier LifeLine (BTLL) including a very generous contribution from Mr.Andrew and Mrs. Wendy Mooney.
It is hoped that this grant will attract the attention of scientists wishing to study GallBladder Mucocoele, a potentially lethal condition which is being diagnosed with increasing frequency in our breed.
Details of this grant may be found at

The Breed Health Group is keen to support research into this distressing condition and will be interested to see such applications for funds as are eventually received. If the Group considers that the successful application for funds fits with it’s views on how the necessary research work should be designed it will be pleased to give as much help as possible on the data collection and public awareness aspects and may also be prepared to add financially to the project funding.
Hopefully this grant will stimulate some productive research.
The Group would like to congratulate Border Terrier LifeLine and Mr.and Mrs. Mooney on their initiative and generosity.
