Description
In 2001 the Executive of the NSDTR Club of Canada formed the Toller Health Coalition (THC). The Executive of the NSDTR Club (USA) has wholeheartedly supported this endeavour. The mandate of the THC is as follows: “The mission of the Toller Health Coalition is to be leaders in the collection, research and dissemination of information, ideas, and knowledge of all issues related to Toller health. Our goal is to give members of the Toller community the resources and wisdom they need that will lead to ongoing and sustained health in their own breeding program and particularly in the breed as a whole.”
The first order of business being carried out by the THC is the Health Survey. This survey was mailed to over 700 members of the NSDTR Club of Canada and the NSDTRC (USA) in mid-January, all Clubs outside of North America have been provided with the Survey for distribution to their members and it has been made available through the THC web page. Once the goal of at least 650 returned surveys has been reached the THC will be in a position to provide to all Toller fanciers information on the current state of health in the breed including a list of conditions known to occur, the rate that these conditions occur in the breed, determine the average number of disease genes an individual dog may carry and provide an estimate of the carrier frequencies for some conditions. All information will be made available through newsletters and the web page as soon as it is compiled with a target date of Fall 2002.
In 2003 the THC will launch the new format Open Health Registry which will be an expansion of the current Hip/Eye/Heart Open Registry which has been in existence for over 20 years. The Open Health Registry will collect information on all health issues related to Tollers. There will be a new focus on whole litter information.
