C A N I N E H E A LT H F O U N D AT I O NLetter from the ChairmanAs Chairman of the Canine Health Foundation, it gives me great pleasure to present our 2009 Annual Report.As you will see, 2009 proved to be a year of great innovation and accomplishment for the Foundation.CEO Dr. Terry T. Warren and her capable staff have optimized their talents creating an efficient team. They mustbe congratulated for helping to make 2009 such a success.CHF enjoyed increased revenues in 2009. Despite a gloomy economy, friends, both within and outside the fancy,rallied to our cause. With full use of new software now in place, our rosy financial picture is easily communicated.Our dominance in the world of canine health research continues. In 2009, CHF funded a variety of worthyresearch studies. In her report, Dr. Christine Haakenson outlines the distribution of nearly 1.4 million to 47veterinary schools and research institutions to further canine health.In 2009, CHF joined with AKC to present educational seminars. These were extremely well attended and highlyacclaimed. Topping off the year was our biennial National Parent Club Canine Health Conference where, thanks toour sponsor Nestlé Purina PetCare Co., our researchers had the opportunity to present cutting edge information toParent Club representatives.The highly successful Genome Barks series of podcasts continues to attract listeners. In 2009, the CHF Board alsoallocated funds to re-vamp our website. These changes will be rolled out in 2010 and will serve to promote ourmission everywhere.Our membership program is in full swing and has been warmly embraced by the fancy. In 2010, we hope to reachbeyond the fancy with this valuable program.I am proud to report that, for the fifth consecutive year, CHF has been awarded Charity Navigator’s 4-star rating—their highest. This designation is awarded to just a small fraction of non-profits based on fiscal responsibility.We have many to thank for our success. Our staff works hard; despite difficult economic times, our donationswere high and we are grateful to our donors. Our major sponsors, Nestlé Purina PetCare Co. and the AmericanKennel Club have been stalwart supporters and we appreciate their continued contributions.As we begin 2010, it is my pleasure to announce a new alliance for CHF—Pfizer Animal Health. We are excitedabout this partnership and look forward to working with this industry giant. Hopefully, together we will be ableto work towards our goal of globalizing the CHF as our message is for all dog lovers everywhere.As always, I extend heartfelt thanks to the hard-working Board of Directors. Without their dedication, none of thiswould be possible.Cindy VogelsChairmanPAGE 1 2 0 0 9 AN N UAL R E PO RT

areorthC A N I N E H E A LT H F O U N D AT I O NMissionThe mission of the AKC Canine Health Foundation is to develop significant resources for basic and appliedhealth programs with emphasis on canine genetics to improve the quality of life for dogs and their owners.GoalsThe Canine Health Foundation will achieve the following goals: To help dogs live longer, healthier lives. To respect the dedication and interest of dogclubs, breeders and owners in canine health andcontinuously seek ways to involve them in thework of the Foundation. To identify health issues of concern to dogbreeders and owners. To identify and sponsor research and educationprograms, with particular emphasis on caninegenetics, that:– Meet the highest scientific and educationalstandards.– Have the greatest potential for advancing thehealth of dogs.– Have expectations for producing materials andapplications that are reasonable and affordablefor breeders and owners. To seek ways to integrate the observationsand knowledge of dog owners, breeders andveterinarians and other scientists for the purposeof advancing the health of dogs. To responsibly monitor grantees and make theresults of their work available for public usethrough publication in scientific journals, andthrough sharing and dissemination of informationand education with dog owners, breeders andveterinarians. To raise endowment funds for the Foundation’sprogrammatic purpose, and to invest these fundsfor both growth of principal and income adequateto advance the Foundation’s purpose.AlliancesThe Breeder/Enthusiast Group ofNestlÉ Purina PetCare CompanyIn 2009, 164 clubs participated in the Nestle PurinaParent Club Partnership Program. By sending inweight circles from Purina packages, membersof the Purina Pro Club raised nearly 300,000 fortheir breed’s health studies. Nestlé Purina PetCare Co.presented a check to CHF at the Purina InvitationalBall during the International Kennel Club of Chicagoshow weekend.American Kennel ClubIn addition to their generous financial support,the American Kennel Club donates office spaceand services.

C A N I N E H E A LT H F O U N D AT I O NResearchThe Canine Health Foundation (CHF) supportsresearch that will improve the health and lives ofall dogs. CHF achieves this by awarding grants toscientists and professionals in research that concernthe origins of canine illness, diagnosis of caninediseases, developments of effective treatments andthe identification of disease prevention strategies.1) Pre-Proposal Review to evaluate the overallproject hypothesis and the significance of theproject to canine health.CHF’s grant process is distinctive in that it gathersinformation about canine health priorities from theAKC Parent Clubs. We listen to the concerns of thedog owners and breeders and encourage ourinvestigators to submit applications based on thisfeedback. The unique alliance with the Parent Clubsalso allows us to work together to fund the researchand improve the health of the entire canine species.3) Final Grants Committee Review to incorporate allof the external scientific evaluations as well as theavailable funding and portfolio of CHF projects.Our grants review process is rigorous and stringent.Applications are not only reviewed by our GrantsCommittee but also are subjected to reviews by experts inthe application’s field of study. We go to great lengths tomake certain that funded research is of the highest qualityand thereby ensure that the results are significant and addto the body of research. Because of the similarities betweenhumans and canines, research funded by CHF oftenprovides information for discoveries in human illnesses, aswell. Not only are we helping our beloved companions, butwe are helping ourselves.CHF offers two types of research grants, OAKs andACORNs. Below is the description of each of thesegrants along with the process of how they are fundedand monitored.OAK GrantsSince the creation of CHF in 1995, 312 OAK grants havebeen approved for a total of over twenty one milliondollars. OAKs are traditional grants that are submitted,reviewed and approved annually. They are typically twoyear projects with an average funding of one hundredthousand dollars. The cycle begins in January with CHF’sannouncement of funding opportunity and ends inSeptember when grants are approved. During that period,a research proposal goes through three review cycles:2) Scientific Review by external peer reviewers,who are experts within the application’s field ofresearch to evaluate the scientific merit of theproposal.ACORN GrantsAs the name implies, ACORNs are smaller researchgrants that have a maximum amount of 12,000. TheACORN grant program began in 2003. Since that time,over 200 ACORNs have been approved for a total of twomillion dollars. The ACORN program was established to: Allow researchers to complete small, relatively shorttimeframe projects Test research hypotheses Generate preliminary data for possible future OAKproposals Encourage and assist new investigators to begin acareer in researchBesides the size of the research grant, a major differencewith ACORN grants is that applications may besubmitted at anytime throughout the year. ACORNapplications are reviewed and approved by the CHFGrants Committee on a monthly basis. Approximatelyeighty ACORN applications are submitted each year andtwenty are approved for funding. The quick turnaroundbetween application submission and the fundingdecision enables these small research projects tocommence quickly. Frequently, the preliminary data andproof of concept established in an ACORN grant has ledto a larger OAK project.More information about past and currently fundedgrants can be found on our searchable website atwww.CanineHealthFoundation.org.PAGE 5 2 0 0 9 AN N UAL R E PO RT
Year in ReviewGrants Funded2009 PublicationsThroughout 2009, the Grants Department has beenfulfilling the mission of the Foundation by supportingcanine research by actively reviewing applications andfunding projects. A total of 25 new ACORN grants were approved totaling 292,000The research supported by the Canine Health Foundationhas generated over 250 peer reviewed research articlesreferencing the Canine Health Foundation as a grantsupporter of the research. 13 new OAK grants were approved to begin in 2010worth another 1,220,000 47 institutions received CHF funds to further caninehealthAreas of ResearchTopics currently being studied by CHF funded researchers are: Infectious Diseases Cardiology Neurology Dermatology Oncology Endocrinology Ophthalmology Gastrointestinal Disorders Orthopedic Disorders Hepatic Disorders Theriogenology ImmunologyMost of the top requested concerns are being studiedthrough grants for both basic and clinical research fromthe Canine Health Foundation.In 2009, 36 peer reviewed articles were published.The journals included: Science Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences Genetics Chromosome Research Pharmacogenetics and Genomics Cancer Immunology, Immunotherapy Journal of Clinical Microbiology Journal of Heredity Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association Veterinary Pathology Veterinary Immunology and Immunopathology American Journal of Veterinary Research Research in Veterinary Science Veterinary MicrobiologyBecause of the similarities between humans and canines, research funded by CHFoften provides information for discoveries in human illnesses as well.

C A N I N E H E A LT H F O U N D AT I O NCanine Health Information Center (CHIC)The Canine Health Information Center (CHIC) is acentralized database jointly sponsored by the CanineHealth Foundation and the Orthopedic Foundationfor Animals (OFA). The CHIC database collects healthrelated information from multiple sources encouragingthe testing, recording, and evaluation of information toenhance health awareness among participants. Sinceits inception in 2001, health information for more than55,000 dogs from 125 breeds have been entered into thedatabase. CHIC’s DNA bank continues to grow and hasstored more than 10,000 samples for use in future geneticresearch. Research institutions that have received samplesfrom the CHIC DNA Repository include: University of California—Davis University of Missouri University of Kentucky Iowa State University Clemson University Cornell University University of Minnesota Broad InstituteThe objectives of the CHICprogram are: To work with Parent Clubs to identify issues thatwould benefit from a centralized health informationsystem. To establish and maintain a centralized databankto support research into canine disease and providefeedback to owners and breeders. To establish scientifically valid diagnostic criteria forthe gathering of information destined to be part ofthe database.Basic to the CHIC philosophy is the understanding thateach breed has different health concerns, so participatingParent Clubs establish specific screening protocols.CHIC operates as an informed-consent database. Allinformation regarding test results remains confidentialunless the owner specifically authorizes its release intothe public domain. All test information entered intothe database is available in aggregate form for researchand statistical reporting purposes. CHIC, CHF, and OFAwebsites make the information easily accessible via theInternet. The CHIC website (www.CanineHealthInfo.org) contains basic information on the CHIC programand maintains a listing of participating breeds includingapproved test protocols for each breed. The website hasbeen designed to integrate seamlessly with the OFAwebsite at www.offa.org.EducationBreeders’ SymposiaIn conjunction with the American Kennel Club, the CHFcontinued its program of breeder education by presentingfour Breeders’ Symposia in 2009. This is the fifth yearthat these programs have been offered by AKC and theFoundation. Often hosted by the local veterinary school,these programs provide breeders with information oncanine genetics, reproduction, vaccination protocols andother topics of interest, as well as the opportunity tonetwork with local specialists and other breeders.Cancer ConferenceIn February, the Canine Health Foundation hosted atwo day canine cancer meeting with the overall goalof bringing together renowned experts working ondiverse aspects of biology, prevention, and treatmentof cancer in dogs, with an emphasis on genetics andmolecular biology. The conference provided a forumfor collaboration that will advance research to reducesuffering and death caused by cancer in dogs, humans,and other animals. The conference was sponsored bythe Giant Schnauzer Club of America, Golden RetrieverFoundation, National Amateur Retriever Club, StarlightFund, American Boxer Charitable Foundation, FrenchBulldog Club of America, Leonberger Health Foundation,Morris Animal Foundation, National Beagle Club,Newfoundland Club of America Charitable Trust, ScottishTerrier Club of America Health Trust Fund, WestieFoundation of America, Australian Shepherd Health &Genetics Institute, Clumber Spaniel Club of America/Clumber Spaniel Health Foundation, Dr. William R.Newman, English Springer Spaniel Field Trial AssociationFoundation, Irish Setter Club of America, and theRottweiler Health Foundation.PAGE 7 2 0 0 9 AN N UAL R E PO RT

C A N I N E H E A LT H F O U N D AT I O NLetter from the CEO/General Council2009 was a year of significant achievement for Canine Health. The U.S. Food andDrug Administration announced the approval of Palladia, the first anti-cancer drugcreated specifically for use in veterinary medicine. The research efforts to developPalladia, which is used to treat skin-based mast cell tumors, was led by Dr. CherylLondon of the Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine. In 2000, Dr.London received a Canine Health Foundation grant to study mast cell tumors while atthe University of California, Davis. Dr. London’s original work studied the biologicaleffects of c-kit mutations on mast cells, leading to a more detailed understanding ofcanine mast cell tumors. This early work funded by CHF provided a framework forthe development of Palladia, a Pfizer drug.Pfizer Animal Health is the global leader in animal health, with a deep and enduring interest in the health andwelfare of companion animals. It is my pleasure to announce the Canine Health Foundation’s new alliance withPfizer Animal Health. Pfizer has committed to a partnership with CHF commencing in 2010.The Foundation’s strong partnership with Nestlé Purina PetCare Company provides significant funding forresearch and the Foundation’s educational endeavors. CHF hosted with additional support from many breedclubs, the Genes, Dogs & Cancer: 5th International Canine Cancer Conference, which brought together theoncology research leaders of the world for the purpose of scientific collaboration. CHF and the Nestlé PurinaBreeder Enthusiast Group presented its widely successful National Parent Club Canine Health Conference thatinvites parent club members and other breeders to learn of the latest research discoveries.A special thanks goes to the continuing generosity of a valued longstanding supporter of canine health research,the American Kennel Club.The Canine Health Foundation’s 2009 financial position is strong. Thirty-eight (38) new research projects in theareas of Oncology, Neurology, Cardiology, Dermatology, Endocrinology, Immunology, and Infectious Diseaseswere funded this year. Because of all of our corporate alliances, donor advised fund holders, grant sponsors andindividual pet loving donors, the Canine Health Foundation is making a difference helping all dogs live longer,healthier lives.
