The Board
of the Leonberger Health Foundation has selected and voted unanimously
to have the Leonberger DNA bank with CHIC. We would like
to encourage every Leonberger owner to participate by sending blood to
the CHIC (OFA) DNA Repository for future research.
Even if you have already donated blood from your Leo to
a different research lab, please donate again but this time to CHIC.
We need one central repository.
Please fill out both the application and the health
survey forms at this website for your dog, and add that dog’s
pedigree; send the blood and paperwork together. The information and
address on gathering, processing and sending blood is on the
application.
At this time, the LHF will pay for the CHIC
fee of $20.00 per dog for ALL Leonbergers.
We have the forms here for the convenience of you and
your veterinarians. Please make sure to initial the agreement just
above your signature, so that the LCA and the LHF will be able to
obtain the information on which Leonberger has DNA already stored, and
the information regarding the CHIC health Survey!
We all want the same thing—Leonbergers who live long,
healthy and happy lives. Working together, participating in programs
set-up by the LCA and LHF are the way to achieve this for all future
generations. Thank you so much in the name of all Leonbergers and
their owners!
