Nutmeg Portuguese Water Dog Club has graciously offered to donate all the 2011 calendar profits to the PWDF for the sole purpose of cancer research

This is a well known calendar that usually sells out every year. Each month pictures a PWD(s) that was selected by a committee from submissions from any PWD owner who would like to send one in. Please support their efforts as well as ours by submitting a photo and then by buying the 2011 calendars which make great gifts. For more information please go to:

cgap.ucdavis.edu -- This link will take you to the online form with which you can request Cheek Swab Submittal Kits for your PWD to become a part of Dr. AnitaOberbauer’s UC Davis Addison’s study.  When you get to the site, click on “Portuguese Water Dog” in the left column and complete the online request form.  In the “Comments” area of the form, type in “Addison’s Study.”

We need cheek swabs from all dogs even if they are not related to any dogs that have Addison’s disease.
