The Bernese Mountain Dog DNA and Tissue Repository (The Repository) at Michigan State University (MSU) has been launched with the joint efforts of researchers at Michigan State University and the Berner Garde Foundation. The Repository is envisioned to be a reliable resource for investigations of genetic and complex diseases that affect Bernese Mountain Dogs. Such studies have the potential to help both Bernese Mountain Dogs, other dog breeds, and humans that have similar diseases.
