Colorado State University, in partnership with Morris Animal Foundation, is undertaking a long-term cancer study using golden retrievers. They are looking for owners of young dogs with at least a three-generation pedigree to follow long term, as in 10+ years if possible. You don't need to live in Colorado, but I believe that you will need to participate through visits with your own vet on a regular basis. If you're interested, the study particulars can be found at this website, www.CanineLifetimeHealth.org - they're looking to enroll 3,000 goldens in this study.
Good to see you Claire's Friend!!
I thought maybe it should be moved to the puppy forum because most people with dogs young enough to participate probably aren't browsing the cancer section. Hopefully.
Making this a sticky in both sections of the forum is a great idea. It was in the Denver Post yesterday or today, which is why I thought it was a new study.
I signed Yogi up right after we got him and gave his vet the link so she can sign up too. We have a few more months until we need to get that initial visit done.
I believe they've been recruiting dogs for over 2 years now and this used to be a sticky, but I guess it got unstuck at some point.
