Sunday, April 30, 2023, 12:00PM Sponsored by the VCA and the VCA Welfare Foundation

Speaker: Myra Savant-Harris, RN – Mrs. Savant-Harris is a dog breeder, Registered Nurse and author who has published several books.

Subject: Seminar on Canine reproduction and whelping. Mrs. Savant-Harris will present a two part seminar: The first is intended to help both the beginning breeder and more advanced breeders get their bitch into whelp, help her stay in whelp, and deliver healthy puppies; and a second part that discusses Puppy Intensive Care, explains how to set up a puppy intensive care unit, and offers information in support of sick puppies. Mrs. Savant-Harris intends to be flexible and tailor the seminar to the level of most who plan to attend.

More information about Mrs. Savant-Harris: Myra Savant-Harris has many years’ experience working in labor, delivery and neonatal ICU. When she began breeding, she used and adapted much of this knowledge to her personal breeding program. Mrs. Savant-Harris brings her interest in genetic research, experience dog breeding, and a wealth of knowledge and techniques to her presentations in order to help you in your breeding program. She also is a highly informative, entertaining speaker. Whether you have whelped one litter or twenty, lost a puppy or an entire litter, Mrs. Savant-Harris embodies a great wealth of information and experience you can trust.

Fees: There will be no charge for the seminar, but you will need to register so that we have a head count. In addition, there will be an option to purchase lunch for $15.00.
