We support Airedale and canine research as it applies to protecting and improving the health of the breed and the health of the dog. This can be by monetary support of research grants or by supplying data to researchers as a way to aid their study of disease as it affects the breed and the canine in general.

We strive to work cooperatively with veterinarians, pet owners, breeders, researchers, and the public on areas such as health education, breeder education, optimizing the pet-owner relationship, health surveys, health

registries. A bridge which will lead to a more well-rounded understanding for everyone.

We list current research projects of interest, current progress, and a multitude of resources on health issues in the breed and in the canine in general. We also list recommended reading and information on pertinent seminars.

Donations are tax deductible since AHF is a 501 (c)(3) Foundation.  If desired, a donor may specify which project their donation is to support.  You can also expect communication from our foundation on the status of supported research projects—the status of how your contribution is being put to work! This allows a direct connection to be made between your donation and making a difference in optimizing pet health.

     A donation can be made in memory or honor of your dog.  And we will showcase your pet on a special page on this web site.
