Research & Grants

Shortly after its organization the Tibetan Terrier Health and Welfare Foundation made initial grants in the amount of $8,480 through the AKC Canine Health Foundation in support of research on NCL and Lens Luxation in Tibetan Terriers.  Specific information about these two grants can be viewed HERE

The first TTHWF grant made independent of the AKC CHF, in the sum of $2,500, covered research into PRA in Tibetan Terriers conducted by Dr.Gustavo Aguirre at the University of Pennsylvania.

Additional grants for research projects may be made as warranted by its importance to the Tibetan Terrier. A description of research grant projects and their progress is available by clicking the bulleted links.
