Cancer
Contact Information for Participation in Golden Retriever Cancer Research The Health and Genetics Committee, Golden Retriever Club of America, is requesting that all owners of Golden Retrievers carry the attached Letter & Chart to their veterinarian for placement in the Golden’s chart. Then, should the Golden Retriever be diagnosed with (or suspected of having) cancer, the owner and veterinarian can consider donating blood and tissue or blood samples. A Note about Rescued Golden Retrievers and Golden Retriever Cancer Research. GRCA Research Facilitator, Rhonda Hovan, has requested that this information be circulated as widely as possible, including to Rescue programs. Some of the studies, she explains, do require pedigree information (particularly those investigating heritable cancer risk factors) and some owners of rescued Goldens are without such information. As a result some rescued Goldens may not be eligible for all studies. Ms. Hovan, however, invites those owners to contact her to help determine how their affected dogs may help the studies and/or how she may help them, and those owners should not hesitate to contact her (rhondahovan@aol.com).
