No, I only saw high level aggregate statistics: total number of animals used in reported studies, by species. No further breakdown by type of research or funding source.

Did you happen to run across the number of animals that might be being used for say medical research of some sort of disease in dogs compared to the ones used for other ones like exposing them to chemicals?
Not my best wording but I figure there is experimentation that is causing pain and suck but are developing say better treatments for cancer in Golden Retrievers compared to the Texas A&M Golden Retriever breeding program that was shut down ~5 years ago where dogs were bred to develop different types of muscular dystrophy, including Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a particularly severe form that causes muscle wasting and weakness.
The A&M program was pretty bad and a PR nightmare even through it was a government funded research program.
