This logo was designed by Claire Dignard and commissioned by the cardiac committee in 1998 to raise money to support the early JDCM research at UPENN. The JDCM gene test was released to the public in 2007. Through the generosity of our donors, the Foundation contributed in excess of $100,000 to JDCM research.

This logo and all the others that are a part of the Deja Vu Fundraiser will be available through July 6, 2025. Www.pwdfoundation.org/foundation-fundraiser/

Deja Vu: Threads in Time closes July 6. Who’s Your Daddy? Created to support pwdinfo, a pedigree database run by Ilona Griffioen-Van Beek. Proceeds from database participation are donated to the Foundation. Logo was created by Kris Cofiell in the early 2000’s.

Million Dollar logo was also created by Kris Cofiell to commemorate the Foundation reaching the milestone of funding one million dollars to health research to benefit the PWD. Originally offered in 2020.

A Foundation For The Future

Since 1998, the Portuguese Water Dog Foundation has approved over $872,000 in health research grants that benefit the Portuguese Water Dog. The Foundation was formed for the sole purpose of supporting research to improve the health of the breed in not only breed specific diseases but also diseases that affect the general canine population including PWDs. The Foundation was a major contributor in the development of the DNA gene test for Juvenile Dilated Cardiomyopathy, as well as the test for two different forms of Progressive Retinal Atrophy. We partner with the AKC Canine Health Foundation and the Morris Animal Foundation on multi-breed canine health related research that also affects PWDs. The Foundation also partners with the Portuguese Water Dog Club of America on some breed specific research. We are dedicated to making a genuine impact on the future health of the breed.
