Heroes

3,197 Golden Retrievers, every one of them named.

Every dog enrolled in the Golden Retriever Lifetime Study has a place in the Sniff Atlas. The largest within-breed longitudinal canine cohort in the world, projected by DNA into a shared genetic universe. Each Hero has a page, a name (auto-generated until their owner claims them), and a contribution to the science.

Distinguished Golden Oldies
196

196 Goldens in the atlas reached age 12 without a malignant cancer diagnosis. Golden Retrievers have one of the highest cancer rates of any breed; an Oldie is a rare and meaningful outlier. These are the ones.
