Using samples and data from the Morris Animal Foundation Golden Retriever Lifetime Study, researchers will explore the role of genetics associated with obesity in golden retrievers.

Using samples and data from the Morris Animal Foundation Golden Retriever Lifetime Study, researchers will explore the prevalence and risk factors for intestinal parasites in golden retriever study dogs.

Using data and samples from the Golden Retriever Lifetime Study, researchers will analyze the gut microbiome in healthy weight and obese dogs to determine if the microbiome differs between these two populations and could contribute to obesity in the breed.

Using data from the Golden Retriever Lifetime Study, researchers will look at annual wellness testing results to determine the magnitude of year-to-year changes in laboratory values in healthy dogs.

Using data from the Golden Retriever Lifetime Study, researchers will determine if (and the degree to which) inbreeding affects adult body size and fecundity (litter size) in female golden retrievers.

Researchers will study the microbiome of cats with chronic upper respiratory disease, looking for new monitoring methods, disease risk factors and potential therapy targets.

Researchers will fill in critical gaps in the current cat genome to facilitate discovery of genetic mutations associated with feline diseases.
