Airedale Terrier Club of America Health Survey
Dear Airedale Owner,
Below is a link to a health survey organized and written by the ATCA Health Committee for the purpose of gathering data on the health of our beloved King of the Terriers. All Airedale owners are encouraged to participate. Owners need not be members of the CATC or ATCA - just Airedale owners. The more information the ATCA can gather regarding the health of the Airedale in the USA the better equipped the club will be to direct funding to health research benefitting our breed, hold focused health seminars, and address the potential future health problems in our dogs. Surveys such as this have been instrumental in helping other breed clubs and their health foundations prioritize funding and research dollars. In several breeds, the results of surveys, such as this one, have been the catalyst for funding significant research that has virtually eliminated specific diseases from certain breeds of dogs.
It is the hope of the ATCA Health Committee that all Airedale owners will take a few minutes and complete the survey for each of their dogs.
Sincerely,
Devon Allen
Member, ATCA Health Committee
