This advancement in canine genetic research was funded by AKC Canine Health Foundation Grant No. 1614, which was also supported by the Health Trust Fund Scottish Terrier Club of America, the Foundation of the Cairn Terrier Club of America, and the Westie Foundation of America. Pedigree analysis indicates that spinning in Bull Terriers is heritable. Blood specimens from spinning Bull Terriers and their relatives are now being collected in order to establish a DNA bank. The long-term goal is to identify genes that are important in this disease, which will contribute data to the development of diagnostics, treatment, informed breeding plans, and ultimately a cure for the disease.
