PWD-Related Research
It can take hundreds of thousands of dollars to fund breed-specific research. Our reserves vary, but our goal is to keep funds in reserve for this purpose. This provides stability when there is a breed-specific research study that is funded by the Foundation and still allows us to meet the co-sponsored funding obligations for general canine health research.
