The DCAF & DCA, with the support of the CHF, is sponsoring a study which might help determine if there is an inherited link
to kidney disease in the Dalmatian breed. We are hoping to find the genetic marker and a DNA test for Juvenile Renal Disease
in Dalmatians. Below is a flyer with information on how you can help if you have an affected Dalmatian.

Do you own a Dalmatian that has been diagnosed with kidney disease or is related to one with kidney disease?
