News.Roe Froman a Vet
and Clumber owner from the USA has announced a "new International online health survey
that is now available for Clumber owners worldwide. It is the
Canine Phenome Project, and it is
hosted by the University of Missouri, in the US. It is accessible to any Clumber
owner with a computer. The Phenome Project allows owners to enter all their
dogs, and update their health and longevity info at any time.
It is password protected, so an owner can select from open
information (anyone may view), to only other users, to private settings. This
helps with confidentiality fears. Anyone, including researchers, can access
general information and survey totals (ie, number of dogs with allergies, for
example) but they will not have names or registration information tied to them."
The survey
questions are similar to the KC survey done a few years ago and the website
allows owners to register with it, enroll their dogs and fill out a survey for
each dog, that can be updated at any time if necessary. This will be an
excellent resource for all to know what are the main health concerns with the
breed and could encourage future research into health issues within the breed.
The results are displayed instantly - as a percentage of the total number of
dogs surveyed.
Take a look and
please make time to enter your dogs - old and new as the more dogs entered will
give a much better view of the state of the breed in general. |

They are in date of birth order to start the list - I thought this was best
so that it could be used as an aid for breeding purposes, rather than
alphabetical, though I might change it in the future. From
now on all new
scores will be added to the bottom of the list as received from the KC
quarterly. This is being done purely as my hobby to be available to help
enthusiasts around the world . There are currently 330 results in the list. |
