Help make epilepsy history in Golden Retrievers

This extremely distressing footage is of a working Golden Retriever called Buddy having seizures. Buddy lives in Germany but unfortunately epilepsy is widespread in Goldies and it is thought to be inherited.

Buddy's owner Regina Enzinger has made the footage public to help raise awareness and funds for research led by Professor Dr Tosso Leeb at the University in collaboration with canine epilepsy guru Prof Dr Hannes Lohi at the University of Helsinki.

Their aim is to isolate the gene or genes and develop a new DNA test for Goldies.
