Rosie sniffs for the odour of bowel cancer in urine samples in our training room, work that could help create a fast, accurate and non-invasive method of diagnosis.
We hope that one day, Rosie's work can be translated into clinical settings alongside existing diagnostic methods.

Meet Mimi!
She is an independent girl who often takes herself off for a nap under a cupboard for some peace and quiet away from her siblings which is ironic as she is the most vocal of her litter! She is a water baby and loves to splash in her water bowl before tipping it over.
We’re fully expecting her love a ball as she was named by @SpursOfficial footballer, Dominic Solanke, after his daughter.
Mimi will kick off her training to become a Medical Detection Dog in the coming days by getting to know her puppy socialisers, exploring her new home and garden and learning some basic cues.

We look forward to sharing her journey to finding the perfect match!
