Education is
a fundamental component of the Program and includes
sharing knowledge with appropriate and interested
communities. The extensive database contains a
comprehensive set of health and physical characteristics
categories. It is designed for analysis and study,
furnishing valuable information for education. Dogs are
tracked through the course of their lives. This unique
situation provides a valuable opportunity for research
and the dogs have already made DNA contributions to
several scientific projects.
