purina The GRCA participates in the Purina Parent Club Partnership Program
AKC Canine Health Foundation

In 1995, the AKC Canine Health Foundation was established by the American Kennel Club to advance the health of dogs through the support of health education and research. The mission of the AKC Canine Health Foundation is to "develop significant resources for basic and applied health programs with emphasis on canine genetics to improve the quality of life for dogs and their owners"

In order to support Parent Clubs in their efforts to advance the health of individual breeds the AKC-CHF initiated the Parent Club Partnership Program in 1996. This program has three parts: technical assistance for the identification of research proposals and grants review and to provide the opportunity for Parent Club restricted donation funds and matching funds.

The Golden Retriever Club of America established a Parent Club Restricted Fund in 1996 as a result of a bequest in honor of Carol A. Buckmann. The purpose of this fund is to support canine health research programs that benefit Golden Retrievers. Contributions to this fund, which are tax deductible, may be made by anyone interested in the health of Golden Retrievers. Recommendations regarding the use of these funds will be made by the GRCA Board of Directors in cooperation with the Canine Health Foundation as they continue to review the health of the breed through surveys and other information resources.
