NCA Health Survey 2011

Partnering with the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals, the NCA has launched an online comprehensive breed health survey. The purpose of this survey is to confidentially gather data which will provide a current base of statistics for making decisions to address diseases and other health issues which are occurring in the Newfoundland breed.
The Charitable Trust Management Board (CTMB), Research Advisory Committee and Health and Longevity Committee worked together with the OFA to craft this scientific survey based on the online survey results contributed by over 1000 Newfoundland owners in 2010.
The CTMB is charged with reviewing proposed studies through the Research Advisory Committee and also funding those studies beneficial to the Newfoundland with funds raised through Newfoundland Health Challenge. The future health of our breed depends on early identification of health problems and then funding research in those specific areas. Your input is vital to insuring that our health and research dollars are spent wisely.

- if you got your dog from a breeder through a website
- if you got your dog from a pet store
- if you got your dog from a shelter, rescue or private placement
- if you got your dog from any other source

please take a moment and complete the survey today -

A couple of helpful hints for people taking the health survey -

If you keep a second browser window open to the main OFA page you can look up your dogs and their OFA tests, etc. while you are completing that section

If your dog has been diagnosed with a condition that is not included in the lists of options (a form of cancer not listed, a communicable disease, etc.) please use the "Other Miscellaneous diseases/disorders" that is following the section on temperament.
