BCOA provides a liaison to the CHF and Morris Animal foundation to review grant proposals from both organizations and make recommendations to support studies that will benefit the borzoi breed relative to our top 3 health concerns. The current liaison for Health Research is Ginger Jones.
Results of the Sudden Death Survey which closed December 31, 2018 will be published as soon as it is all compiled.
The links listed here are research grants that BCOA has contributed funds to for approved grants managed by either the Canine Health Foundation or The Morris Animal Foundation. Through the generosity of our membership’s donations to Borzoi Health Research, we have assisted with advancements in many areas of research. Our contributions to CHF, combined with other breed clubs’ and private foundations’ listed under the "sponsors" section of the grant are matched with CHF funds to provide the required financials to see these valuable research grants to their fruition. Research is advancing by leaps and bounds and we can be proud to have played such an instrumental role. Enjoy reading the highlights of these!!
