More bang for your bark – PBGVs will double your donation

The Petit Basset Griffon Vendéen used to suffer from a painful and blinding eye disease called Primary Open Angle Glaucoma. But thanks to research by the Canine Genetics Centre, in collaboration with veterinary ophthalmologists and the worldwide PBGV owning and breeding community, the causal mutation was identified and published in 2015. Since then breeders have had a DNA test that they can use to make sure they don’t breed any more dogs affected with this horrible disease.

In recognition of the Canine Genetics Centre’s research, the Health & Rescue Foundation of the Petit Basset Griffon Vendéen Club of America has generously donated $10,000 as a matching grant – meaning they will give $1 for every $1 donated to this grant, up to $10,000.

This is an extremely generous offer, and an exciting opportunity for donors to effectively double their donation to help support the Canine Genetics Centre.
