Certificate of Pedigree
We received TiVo's Certificate of Pedigree today but I don't understand exactly what it tells me. It lists the name of a male chow at the top and the breeder then underneath it starts with a sire and dam and then branches out to the right all that were bred from those two? It doesn't seem to list his "mother" anywhere? Also, we've had him neutered so obviously don't plan on breeding him, and we don't plan on showing him so is there a reason why I should register him?

If you want to take part in the U of Minnesota gastric cancer study, along with his blood sample they would like his pedigree. Tracing the lines is something they need to do to figure out if it's genetic or environmental. Getting him registered might help as well as they may check the registry for blood lines on some chows...
Sorry I'm kind of gung ho about this at the moment.

Victory - I'm relatively new to this forum. Is there more information on the Univ of Minn study? Is this something that is more predominant in chows? Sorry, don't mean to ask something that's been discussed prior. Again, don't mean to ask something repetitive or stupid but is this what Darkwind is going through?

Here's the info from the U of Minn site, which Kiwani also posted under the health forum.
Excerpt:
"Gastric Cancer in Chows and Akitas"
'Our research shows that Chow Chows and Akitas have 10 to 20 times the risk of developing stomach cancer (gastric adenocarcinoma or gastric carcinoma) compared to other dogs. This type of cancer is usually diagnosed when it is no longer treatable and it is fatal in over 90% of cases. Early detection and prevention of this disease depends on recognition of the factors that contribute to causing gastric cancer in Chow Chows and Akitas. In addition, gastric cancer in Chows and Akitas may serve as an important animal model for the study of carcinogenesis (i.e. formation of cancer cells) and cancer prevention.
The purpose of our research is to identify the genetic and environmental factors that contribute to the development of gastric cancer in Chow Chows and Akitas.
In addition, we hope to characterize the genetic and environmental factors that lead to the development of gastric cancer in Chow Chows and Akitas. Lastly, we hope that these investigations will provide a framework for more comprehensive studies, including the mapping and characterization of a potentially novel cancer susceptibility gene, mechanistic investigations of gene-environment interaction, and investigation of cancer prevention strategies.

This is the second time I've had a chow with this and the really awful thing is that there are few symptoms. Darkwind also has a tumor on his liver which caused a lot of vomiting, but the only symptom Ming had was that he would seem to try to vomit everyonce in a while but always after eating grass. Then there was a serious weight loss and he stopped eating.
And that from what the Vets and the Onocology Dr. said are the symptoms by the time you notice something, the stomach is compromised too far and nothing can be done but comfort care.
The study is to find out if this is a genetic thing, or if it's environmental or some combination of both. A 10 - 20 percent higher incidence is very significant for something that is undetectable and untreatable.

Ming was almost 10 and Darkwind is just over six. The onocology Dr. and Vets say he is very young for this disease. Also the link Jeff posted in the health forum to another cancer research site shows that he is pretty young, most of chows are between 7 and 12 when they get this type of cancer. So Darkwind is a bit young for it.

Rogan's neutered as well, but since I competed with him in AKC obedience, we got him registered. Nina's registered as well. It's really neat. We have their pedigrees framed in the office. Their own little family trees. And Rogan's 'full name' is Rogan Ewok Timothy. Not very original, were we! Nina's is Timothy's Little Nina.
