FAMILIAL
SUB-AORTIC STENOSIS RESEARCH

Syringomyelia - What is it? Recent reports from Rottweiler owners who report their dog has problems in the front pasterns -- flat, no support; or cervical cysts or lesions. Medication prescribed was Prilosec because it helps to decrease the cerebral spinal fluid.
CANCER RESEARCH
Since cancer is one of the leading causes of death in the Rottweiler, the RHF continues to fund research in both osteosarcoma and lymphoma. Grant CHF-947A & B: Heritable and Sporadic Genetic Lesions in Canine Osteosarcoma, headed by Dr. Breen and Dr. Modiano, has the potential of pinpointing specific genes that are associated with breed-dependent risk, and to possibly predict how heritable factors influence bone cancer in Rottweilers, Golden Retrievers, and other breeds.
If your dog was recently diagnosed with cancer, have you considered helping cancer research by submitting a sample? Click here for instructions on sample submission to the Modiano Lab.
LONGEVITY STUDY - CLICK HERE FOR QUESTIONNAIRE
Dr. David Waters and his team at the Gerald P. Murphy Cancer Foundation continue to collect data from Rottweiler owners to determine longevity logistics -- why do some Rottweilers have usual longevity of 8-1/2 year to 11 years, while some 'escape' potential disease and live to 13 years and beyond? Our five-year commitment to Grant RHF-607: Study of Exceptional Longevity in Rottweilers and Cancer Resistance Regulatory Factors continues to unravel the mystery of longevity and cancer resistance.
