Breed Specific Research USA
Dachshund Research
Open to USA and Canada
Breen Lab at the North Carolina State University of Veterinary Medicine is conducting research into the genetics of Dachshunds that have haemangiosarcoma.
Tissue and blood samples are desperately needed from dogs that have been affected by this disease. Your local veterinarian can help attain these samples which need to be stored and shipped correctly. Tissue samples can be taken at the time of tumour removal. The information sheet on this page outlines what is required.
Owners are also required to provide a copy of the pedigree and AKC number, a copy of the relevant diagnostic pathology report, a copy of the last three months clinical and treatment protocols including planned ones and a signed copy of the consent form found here.
Please consider helping with this important research. Information that is gained by this research will help many dogs in the future.
