TF Grants at Work
Oklahoma State University – ACT Student
Outreach Grant
The SFT student members at Oklahoma State University Center for Veterinary Health Sciences
would like to extend our gratitude for the financial assistance provided by the Theriogenology
Foundation Board of Directors via an ACT Student Outreach Grant. With the financial assistance we
were able to provide housing for our guest speaker from Cornell University, Dr. Soon Hon Cheong,
DACT.
Dr. Cheong visited Oklahoma State University’s Center for Veterinary Health Sciences campus
and spoke to our student SFT club at 12pm on September 20th, 2018, in the main lecture hall
auditorium in McElroy Hall. About 60 bodies in total, including students and faculty, were in
attendance to the presentation. During his presentation Dr. Cheong presented the SFT student
members with information pertaining to two unique cases: a preputial swelling in a 10-month-old Brown Swiss bull and a granulosa cell tumor in a 2-month-
old Arabian filly. After the presentation Dr. Cheong was also escorted out to the OSU CVHS Ranch where he was able to have further interaction with some
sophomore students, about half of which were SFT club members, during their Equine Palpation elective course.
Thank you again for assisting our student chapter with this opportunity, we are grateful!
University of Illinois – ACT Student Outreach Grant
The first weekend of March Dr. Ana Adams came to the University of Illinois College of Veterinary
Medicine. On Friday, Dr. Adams spoke to students over lunch about some of the aspects of canine
reproduction in a private practice and some of the business aspects. Saturday morning, Dr. Adams
gave further details on canine reproduction techniques to a group of ten students. After the
lecture and lunch, Dr. Adams demonstrated to students how to manually collect stud dogs. Once
the studs had been collected, Dr. Adams discussed evaluation of canine semen with the students
as well as the freezing process. Students were able to assist in semen evaluation and were able to
observe the extending and freezing process. Dr. Adams’ teachings were great experiences for the
students involved. Several of the students are now considering including canine theriogenology as
something they would like to do in practice. While students are able to learn a lot from lectures, there is something much more insightful when it comes to
hands on experience.
The Illinois Student Chapter of the Society for Theriogenology would like to thank the Theriogenology Foundation for funding that allowed us to implement
this lab and we would like to thank Dr. Ana Adams for her wisdom and bright attitude.
University of Florida – Student Chapter Grant
On January 14, 2019, Dr. Thomas Riddle from Rood & Riddle Equine Hospital in Lexington, Kentucky, traveled to Gainesville,
Florida to speak to students at the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine about the procedures he routinely
performs as a thoroughbred breeding farm practitioner. Dr. Riddle discussed the veterinarian’s role in equine reproduction
and provided information to students about topics such as breeding soundness considerations, twin management, and
postpartum care. A highlight of the lecture was Dr. Riddle’s instruction on fetal gender determination. He discussed the
importance of accurate “fetal sexing” and showed a variety of ultrasonographic images to “train your eye.” After walking
students through these examples, he displayed new images to quiz students so that they could test their newfound skill. At
the end of the meeting, Dr. Riddle provided advice on how to maximize the veterinary student experience, discussed potential
externship and internship opportunities, and answered questions about the future job market for equine veterinarians.
The UFCVM student chapter of the Society for Theriogenology would like to thank the Theriogenology Foundation for their
generous funding, which allowed Dr. Riddle to travel to Florida and played an instrumental role in ensuring the success of the
meeting. This gathering was a great opportunity for students to enhance their education in theriogenology and to learn from Dr. Riddle’s years of experience
in the field.
University of Illinois – Student Chapter Grant
Mid-March Dr. Kurt Sladky came to speak to students from the University of Illinois College of
Veterinary Medicine. He spoke to a joint group of students from the Theriogenology club and the
Non-Traditional Species club. Dr. Sladky spoke on small mammal, reptile, and avian reproduction.
He covered what was considered normal for several of the more popular species as well as covering
common pathologies in these species. Exotic animal reproduction of this flavor is not a topic that is
covered in depth in many places and his lecture was very insightful to the students present.
The Illinois Student Chapter of the Society for Theriogenology would like to thank the
Theriogenology Foundation for the funds to bring Dr. Sladky to UIUC and we would like to thank Dr. Sladky for sharing his expertise with our students.

Congratulations to the AKC, AKC-CHF, TF Companion Animal Residents
Beginning Their Programs in 2019
Jamie M. Douglas, DVM
Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine
Dr. Jamie M. Douglas received her DVM from Michigan State University College of Veterinary
Medicine in 2014 and her master’s degree in animal science (focus: reproduction) from
Southern Illinois University Carbondale’s College of Agricultural Sciences in 2015. She
returned to Michigan State University to complete a veterinary anesthesia internship in
2015. Dr. Douglas went on to hold a post-doctoral position with the Richard M. Schubot
Parrot Wellness and Welfare program housed at the University of California, Davis’ School of
Veterinary Medicine studying avian welfare and analgesics. Her future goals include holding
a teaching position in a veterinary program, continuing to improve animal health through
veterinary research, and providing services in the field of theriogenology to aid and improve
reproductive performance in companion animals. She is the proud owner of three dogs, two
Boston Terriers and what can only be described as a yeti (note: the yeti is a familial term and not in any way a breed recognized by the AKC).
Thoughts regarding the AKC/AKC CHF/TF Theriogenology Residency Program: I am so very grateful to have been selected for this training
opportunity in the fields of canine health, canine futures, and research. Besides specializing in a field that I have always respected, I am
afforded the opportunity to work alongside exceptional mentors at Auburn University thanks to the generosity of the AKC. An added bonus:
I get to provide service, support, and give back to dogs, their owners, the Canine Performance athletes, and students each and every day.

Our goal is to find the genetic loci associated with key behavioral traits of military
The Working and service dogs. While decades of selective breeding practices have shaped
the canine genome, we now look to genetics to guide our selection of dogs for
Dog Project specific training and career paths.
THE BROAD INSTITUTE
The Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard was launched in 2004 to use genomics to
advance science and human health. In 2005, Broad scientists led an international
team to decode the DNA of Tasha, the first dog ever sequenced. Since then,
scientists have compared the DNA of hundreds of dogs and found millions of
differences. Hidden in this complexity are the genetic variants shaping each dog’s
behavior.
INVEST IN IN-GENE-UITY!
We have a unique opportunity today to apply cutting edge technology to identify
the genes driving dog behavior. This is a critical first step. With the key genetic
factors found, we can strategically select better working dogs, saving time, energy
and dollars. Rarely do we have the opportunity to make such an impact for our
national security and our disabled Americans. Please consider supporting the
effort.
For the Working Dog Project, it is critically important that we include both
successful and unsuccessful dogs. We are interested in:
Dogs who about to enter a training program
Dogs who are currently enrolled in training
Successful working dogs
Dogs who were unable to complete their training program for behavioral reasons
Working Together to We will compare the behavioral and genetic profiles of successful and
Secure Our Present unsuccessful dogs to identify genes associated with working dog performance. By
setting concrete and measurable goals with the two year Working Dog Project, we
While Engineering the Future expect to powerfully advance any future phases, which may take years to explore.
Our long term goal is to provide our partners with practical guidance, based on
The Theriogenology Foundation our research, that will increase the number of dogs succeeding in our program.
