The AKC Canine Health Foundation, founded in 1995 by the American Kennel
Club, is the largest nonprofit worldwide to fund health research
exclusively for canines. Our goal is to help dogs live longer,
healthier lives. The
AKC Canine Health Foundation is the leader in non-invasive genetic
health
research, stem cell research, and biotherapeutics benefiting both
canines and
humans. Through the generous financial support of the American Kennel
Club and the Nestlé Purina PetCare Co., we?re proud to announce we have
allocated more than $22 million in canine health research through more
than 75
schools and research institutions worldwide.
The American Kennel Club, founded in 1884, is a not-for-profit
organization which maintains the largest registry of purebred dogs in
the world and
oversees the sport of purebred dogs in the United States. The AKC is
dedicated to upholding the integrity of its registry, promoting the
sport of
purebred dogs and breeding for type and function. Along with its
nearly 5,000
licensed and member clubs and its affiliated organizations, the AKC
advocates
for the purebred dog as a family companion, advances canine health and
well-being, works to protect the rights of all dog owners and promotes
responsible dog ownership. More than 20,000 competitions for AKC-
registered
purebred dogs are held under AKC rules and regulations each year
including
conformation, agility, obedience, rally, tracking, herding, lure
coursing,
coonhound events, hunt tests, field and earthdog tests. Affiliate AKC
organizations include the AKC Humane Fund, AKC Canine Health
Foundation, AKC Companion
Animal Recovery and the AKC Museum of the Dog.
