Generation Pup is a groundbreaking study of the health, welfare and behaviour of our dogs throught their whole lives.
I confirm that I would like to participate in the Dogs Trust Generation Pup study, that I am 16 years of age or older, and live in the UK or Republic of Ireland. I have read the information provided about the study (including the "Information for Puppy Owners") and understand how my personal data will be used and who to contact if I have questions about it. I understand that all information about me will be treated in the strictest confidence and that the data will be stored securely. I also understand that I can reduce my involvement or withdraw from the study at any time without prejudice.

We are interested in collecting samples so that we can analyse them to help identify risk factors for diseases that occur later in life.
If you agree to help by taking samples, we will provide you with sampling kits, give you detailed instructions as to how to take samples safely, and also give you access to instructional videos on our website.
By ticking this box you agree to samples from your dog being stored and analysed by scientific organisations.
Note: Due to restrictions, biological samples cannot easily be sent from the Republic of Ireland to the UK. For this reason we are not currently requesting samples from dog owners in the Republic of Ireland.
The behaviour tests we may ask you to do would involve either recording your dog during one of his / her normal daily activities (such as getting ready to go for a walk or when the postman or woman comes to the door), or doing a simple observational test with your dog and sending us the results.
The behaviour tests are designed to be a positive experience for you and your dog - we would not ask you to do anything that would cause any distress. For any behaviour tests that we ask you to do, we will provide you with a full set of written instructions and a video to illustrate how to do the test.
One area that we are interested in studying is the beneficial effect of owning dogs on human health (particularly mental health and disabilities).
To investigate this, it is useful for us to ask you more questions about your health and that of the members of your household.
No. of dogs: This should exlcude all puppy(s) that you are involving in the Generation Pup survey.
No. of small furry pets: For example guinea pig, gerbil, hamster, rat, etc.
No. of agricultural animals: For example cow, sheep etc.

Other research groups (often based at UK Universities) are already working with some veterinary practices. These research groups collect information from veterinary practice databases and analyse this information with the aim of furthering veterinary knowledge that can be used to improve the health and welfare of animals in the future. If your veterinary practice is working with one of these research groups, then - with your permission - we might be able to access your veterinary notes via the databases held by these research groups, rather than directly from your veterinary practice - thus potentially saving the time of staff at your veterinary practice. A full list of the institutions that we share or intend to share data with can be found at https://generationpup.ac.uk/privacy-policy-sharing-data/, which is updated from time to time.
If you give us permission to share information that can be used to identify your dog in databases held by other research groups (i.e. your dog's Generation Pup Dog ID number and microchip number) then this would be an enormous help. You will have the right to withdraw permission for us to access your veterinary records through databases held by other research groups at any time by notifying us.
Please note that when the Generation Pup Dog ID number is added to your dog's veterinary records this ID number may be shared by vet practices with the other research groups regardless of whether you have provided consent for Dogs Trust to access the data held by the research groups or not. Dogs Trust will not however access that data if you have not provided consent for us to do so.
