Canine embryonic samples were collected during studies of canine gonadal development that were supported in part by the National Institutes of Child Health and Human Development (R03HD077119, R01HD19393), the Collaborative Research Program, College of Veterinary Medicine (M-W), and the Baker Institute for Animal Health Pursuit of Excellence Fund (M-W), Cornell University, Ithaca, NY USA. The funders had no role in study design, data collection or website preparation or content.

The compilation and production of the Canine Atlas was made possible by support from the Baker Institute for Animal Health, College of Veterinary Medicine, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY, and in part, from the Herndon Canine Disease Research Fund.
