The SCA Rescue and Health Foundation has donated $1,000 to the Canine Health
Foundation to help fund this study being done by Dr. May at Iowa State University.
Our goal is to raise $2,000 more from donations in the next 3 months. Please help.
Make your tax deductible donations by sending a check made out to SCA Rescue &
Health Foundation with the notation "For Red Coat/Alopecia Project".

We are also looking into funding the following CHF approved studies that affect
Schipperkes:
Endocrine Disorders - Thyroid Hormone Concentration variations with stage of canine
estrous cycle. With the increasing number of hypothyroid dogs being detected it is
important to know what is normal. There are fluctuations with the estrus cycle. Right
now the recommendation is just not to test bitches while they are in estrus. What about
the one that comes in 2 days after you send in the sample? Or the one who has
prolonged estrus?
Reproduction - Search for genes related to cryptorchidism. This is a big problem in
many breeds. It is not simple (similar to epilepsy?) - there are many forms of the
problem from no testicles actually exist, to retained in abdomen, to retained high in flank,
to bouncing from scrotum to high in flank.
Eye Disease - Post cataract removal capsular opacification problem study.
