The KC also has a Health foundation fund,
Kennel Club Health Foundation Fund - The Kennel Club
Kennel Club Health Foundation Fund
26-May-06

Funds to develop new DNA tests for inherited conditions

This Fund is part of The Kennel Club Charitable Trust
It is designed to help Breed Clubs and scientists work together to develop research programmes that will result in new DNA tests for inherited conditions
The Fund will supplement money raised by Breed Clubs and Councils towards the cost of research.
Applications for funding will be assess by an independent panel and decisions will be based solely on scientific merit and the likelihood of a successful outcome.
Breed Clubs that are numerically small and have limited capacity to raise their own research funds will have equal access to future DNA research that will benefit their breed.

Another step in the right direction.

Cheers Sall - I thought I got that across - but thats what I meant

Emphasis on the WELL BRED part of my earlier post
