Solving problems using Citizen Science is not new. It builds on a community of people who work together on topics of mutual interest. Traditional research was always considered the purview of the university. This belief effectively ruled out other kinds of good science and the motivation of others to become involved. Today, there are many Citizen Science projects that involve monitoring the Chesapeake Bay, astronomy, environmental science, climatology, hydrology, neuroscience and genetics. In the dog world, it shifts the restrictions imposed by laboratory controls and allows breeders to participate in dog studies like the Morris Animal Foundation that has been studying Golden Retrievers, and the Dog Aging project at Texas A&M. Other on-going studies are being used to shed light on problems of a specific interest. Citizen Science efforts can also mirror a successful concept used by the American Kennel Club Canine Health Foundation called the “Acorn Grant” . These are small seed grants (studies) designed to determine the viability of an approach to a specific subject or to a problem area. In this case, breeders and their clubs could use the Citizen Science approach to study how Form and Function might be interconnected with helping the growing problems of breeds that use Crop and Dock techniques.
