PUBLISHED DATA
There is a tremendous amount of published data on aspects of dog health that would be of interest to breeders, but much of it is either inaccessible or in a form (such as a huge table) that isn't very useful. We are in the process of gathering together as much of this information as possible and presenting it in a way that should be more useful to breeders such as graphs.
The data were typed into spreadheets from the published documents, and be forewarned that there might be typographical errors that escaped editing. Before you use this information for anything, double check with the data from original source (all citations are provided). If you spot any errors, please do let us know.
