Dog DNA + Healthier Food Habits: New Brookfield Library Programs

BROOKFIELD, CT — The Brookfield Library will be offering two new programs that will help you understand yourself — and your best friend — a little better.

Here is the link and the description.

Adopting Healthier Eating Habits for a Better New Year will be held on Zoom Feb. 7 from 6:30 - 7:30 p.m.

In this presentation, lifestyle coach and registered dietitian Jessica Clark will instruct participants in how to create realistic goals to foster a healthier lifestyle and create sustainable changes that will last a lifetime. More information and registration is online here.

Beyond the Breed: Exploring Dog DNA will be held on Zoom Feb. 15 from 6-7:00 p.m.

Dog owners are becoming increasingly interested in the genetic make-up of their furry family members. As the popularity of Canine DNA testing grows and the trend of "breed reveal parties" gains traction, the need for a general understanding of dog evolution and genetics grows. This program will provide the skills needed to identify dog breeds based on their phenotypic characteristics, give background information in canine evolution, and provide a basic understanding of canine genetics.
