We Need Your DNA !!!

Samples are needed for Siberian Huskies !! On the DNA Health Survey, you will list all the health issues that your dog has. If a researcher is studying that particular disease, the blood and DNA is already collected which saves tons of time and money. The researcher will be able to take the DNA from the DNA bank and not spend months and months of valuable time collecting samples!! This can be valuable for any disease from allergies to zinc deficiency. You will be sent forms periodically to update your dog's medical history. We need DNA from healthy dogs as well !!

SHHF Supported Research 2007/2008

Newsletter Subscription Page. Join our email list to get news on health issues, events, and Ebay auction for SHHF fund raising.

The SHHF could not exist without the generous donations, both monetary, physical and in-kind, from area clubs and Siberian fanciers.  A special thanks to the SHC of Greater Chicago, whose generous donations have covered much of the cost of the Siberian Husky Health Survey.  Results of that survey will be available soon on this site.  Setting up a store at the National Specialties the last couple of years has been a very large undertaking, and while we thank everyone who has supported our store, we would like to especially thank Dominic DiBalsi, Laura Briggs and Doreen Slaybaugh for assistance above and beyond.  Without their help, the store would have not been possible.  We owe a debt of gratitude to everyone who has pitched in, and would like to encourage those who would like to pitch in... the SHHF values your input as well as your support.

One outgrowth of this website that we didn't forsee when the SHHF was founded is the one-to-one assistance we've been able to provide to Siberian owners who find the site and have health questions about their dogs.

If you'd like to see your name in our Circle of Friends or leave a lasting memorial for your Siberian or a loved one in our Memorial pages we'd love to have it there and value any donation you can make towards ending hereditary disease in the Siberian Husky.

The mission of the Siberian Husky Health Foundation: To fund genetic and non-genetic research that is critical to the continued health of the Siberian Husky, to provide public education on health issues affecting the breed, and to provide information on any major health problem that is emerging in the breed.

Your donations to SHHF are 100% tax-deductible, as the organization is a charitable trust under the guidelines of the IRS. It is an organization run by volunteers, so all of the money raised goes to needed research and assistance for Siberian Huskies.

The Siberian Husky Health Foundation is a non-profit charitable organization dedicated to promoting the welfare of the Siberian Husky breed in the areas of health and genetics, education and rescue.

The foundation is solely funded by tax-deductible donations under Section 501(c)(3) of the United States Internal Revenue Code.
