Milestones: Year 3

 

RESEARCH:

• Immune Mediated Hemolytic Anemia: Dr. Lorna Kennedy at the University of Manchester, UK. We provide DNA and financial support.
• Hemangiosarcoma: Van Andel Research Institute in Michigan. We provide DNA. This research is funded via an NIH/National Cancer Institute million dollar grant.
• Intervertebral Disc Disease: Drs. Mark Neff and Nick Duesbery at the Van Andel Research Institute. The Foundation provides financial support and the CSCA DNA bank provides DNA.
• The Piper Fund: CSHF works with the Piper Fund to encourage owners to have necropsies performed, and to share those results with researchers.

COMMUNICATION & EDUCATION:

• CSHF maintains the PDP1 International Database for Clumber and Sussex spaniels.
• Periodic e-newsletter.
• Clumber Spaniel Health Foundation website.
• Health Speakers: CSHF supported Dr. Nick Duesbery's presentation at the St. Louis CSCA National, where he spoke about the progress of the hemangiosarcoma research.
• Genes, Dogs and Cancer Associate sponsorship: In conjunction with the CSCA and the AKC Canine Health Foundation.

DNA BANK:

• CSHF continues to maintain and grow the CSCA DNA bank. This vital resource currently contains DNA from over 600 Clumbers, and is serving as a model for other breed clubs.

FUNDRAISING:

• Launched our first Annual Campaign: the response from dedicated Clumber owners to date has already enabled us to make the initial $10,000 payment to purchase the Illumina SNP arrays which will be used in the Intervertebral Disc Disease study.
