Welcome to the MPBCA

 Knowledge Center

"Thinking About My Run" 

 


The purpose of the knowledge center  is to share information that may be of interest to our members. In some cases, we may link you to another site, or we may actually publish articles within this site. Either way, we hope you will always find information that will enhance your knowledge of stockdogs, trialing, training, or care and feeding of your stock and dogs.    

 

Further, if you have information which you would like to share with other members via the knowledge center pages please forward to tazimodo@comcast.net. Also, we would appreciate you forwarding a permission or release form from the author or source or provide information on where the permission/release can be obtained.  

 

Information on this site is posted for educational and informational purposes only and is not to be considered as engaged in rendering veterinary/medial, health, feeding and or any other professional advice. The information provided should be viewed as opinion based on research by breeders, trainers, and others. Information with medical implications and contraindications of current veterinary treatments and procedures should not be used for diagnosing or treating any health condition, symptoms, or disease in your stock or dogs. Posted items are not a substitute for professional veterinary care or veterinary consultations with a professional whose advice you trust. If your stock or dogs have or you suspect that your stock or dogs may have a health problem, please consult your veterinarian immediately. 

 

Below are some links to some excellent information. However, again, please do not accept the information you read on these links or any links on any website as the proverbial gospel. Instead, we recommend you read, learn, study some more, then form your own conclusion--maybe even after consulting with your own veterinarian, trainer, or other professional.

 

Finally, if you have a topic you are particularly interested in, drop us a note and we will see what can be found. 

Check back often!
