The American Chesapeake Club (ACC) is conducting this health survey as an update to the original survey published in 2003. Its purpose is to better understand which diseases and health conditions (both genetic and non-genetic) are of greatest concern to Chesapeake Bay Retriever owners and breeders. Your answers will help the ACC decide where to direct our Donor Advised Fund (DAF) held at the AKC Canine Health Foundation (AKC CHF) in the area of health research.
All answers to the survey will be kept confidential.
All Chesapeake Bay Retriever owners in the U.S. and around the world are invited to complete the survey on each dog owned during the period of 2004 – the present. You do NOT need to be a member of the American Chesapeake Club or any dog club to participate. In the interest of getting the most meaningful information about the current health of our breed, we encourage everyone to take the time to complete the survey.
For any questions or issues you have with the survey, please contact ACCHealth@LiebermanResearch.
