As owners of Flat-Coated Retrievers, we are fortunate to have several of the world's best researchers in canine genetics studying cancer in our breed. This research also depends on the generous donations that many owners have made to the Flat-Coated Retriever Foundation.
But the most important contributors to this research are the dogs and owners who have participated directly in these studies. Many affected dogs have provided the blood and tumor samples that are so essential. In addition, lots of healthy dogs have served as controls for various studies. Many owners have participated in these studies at times of intense grief, setting aside their own worries and sadness to ensure that their dogs are included. The dogs listed below leave a Legacy of Hope for future generations of Flat-Coated Retrievers to live long and healthy lives. We are extremely grateful to all participants, including those who have chosen to remain anonymous.
