Dr. Danika Bannasch, who is conducting the research on brain cancer as described on this website, is also doing genetic research on canine birth defects involving cleft palate, umbilical hernia requiring surgical repair, and cryptorchidism. If you are a breeder and would like to participate in an online survey, and perhaps submit DNA for this important work, click here.
We hope that this and other research will eventually lead to a reduction in the incidence of birth defects in Frenchies, and thank in advance all dogs and breeders who participate.
