CURLY COATED RETRIEVER CLUB BREED HEALTH SURVEY 2014/2015 Over the last few years, the Curly Coated Retriever Club have organised Breed Health surveys. These were basic, anonymous surveys to enable us to gain an insight into which conditions, diseases and illnesses most affected the Curly Coated Retriever in the UK. This survey differs in that it is more comprehensive and will ask for the dogs included to be named. The aim is to maintain, monitor and seek to improve the health of the Curly Coated Retriever. All information will be stored on the Curly Coated Retriever Club Health database. It is hoped that this survey will reach as many Curly owners in the UK as possible. We need to hear from owners of show dogs, working dogs and pet dogs. Owners need not be members of the Curly Coated Retriever Club to take part. Please inform everyone you know who owns a Curly and encourage them to participate. Please complete one survey form for each Curly you have owned in the last 10 years. It is just as important to complete surveys for dogs with no history of illness or disease as it is for those who have. Please be aware that information given within this survey may be shared with other Curly owners and the Kennel Club in order to protect the future of the breed. If you require more Survey forms, they can be downloaded from the Curly Coated Retriever Club website or can be requested directly from the Club Health Coordinator whose contact details are below. Thank you.
