Global Canine Data Alliance (GCDA)
The Global Canine Data Alliance (GCDA) is an international initiative under the International Partnership for Dogs (IPFDogs) that brings together organisations holding canine health, pedigree, clinical, and genomic data to improve collaboration and advance dog health worldwide. Rather than acting as a central data repository, the GCDA focuses on connecting data holders, aligning standards, and enabling responsible, ethical data sharing across sectors.
By mapping existing data resources and supporting interoperability, the GCDA helps unlock the value of already available data that is currently fragmented across systems and countries. Through collaboration, standardisation, and research partnerships, the GCDA aims to support better understanding of disease, genetic diversity, and population health—enabling more informed, evidence-based decisions in breeding and veterinary care.
