The Poodle Club of America Foundation is truly excited to again sponsor the performance raffle during its National Specialty Agility and Obedience trials, held in Salisbury, Maryland on April 11, 12, 2008. Last year’s auction brought in approximately $5,000, money which went directly to the Foundation to support its programs.
The Foundation is a 501(c)(3) public charity, focused on research and education to improve the health of dogs in general, and Poodles in particular. Current research projects including work on Addison’s Disease, Epilepsy, and Progressive Retinal Atrophy. The Foundation also sponsors the first internet-based health survey of the Poodle breed. The survey will help identify areas of concern, and help to focus the Foundation’s future efforts. In order to maximize the return on its research contributions, the Foundation generally works with the American Kennel Club Health Foundation to fund projects that have high scientific value for dogs in general, and are important to our breed.
In addition, The Foundation offers an annual educational seminar in conjunction with the Poodle Club of America National Specialty Show and Trials every June. The Foundation extends its educational efforts by producing and selling videotapes on topics of interest to all who love their dogs."
