Megs Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 (edited) Hi everyone, I am an infrequent poster but a regular viewer and today I'm asking for some help! I am currently doing my Delta Cert 1V and one of the assignments requires speaking to breeders and owners about their chosen breeds. I've been to a dog show but it wasn't very large and I didn't see very many atypical breeds, which is a requirement. The breeds I still need are as follows :-) Flat coated retriever Beagle ACD Corgi - either Pembroke or Cardigan Maremma Great Pyrenees St Bernard Chinese crested Airedale Samoyed Any extra information on these guys is appreciated as well English bulldog French bulldog Neapolitan mastiff The questions I need answers too ( just couple of words/sentences is fine ) 1) People's expectation of the breed (e.g. greyhounds - high exercise, muzzled because dangerous etc) 2) Their trainability 3) Their activity levels and the way you provide for this (exercise & enrichment) 4) grooming requirements for the pet dog 5) feeding program you use (type of food, how often you feed, feeding games/toys) I don't expect many people to reply because I know how busy you are but thank you for your time anyway :-) Cheers, Meg Edited December 22, 2014 by Megs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph M Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Might be worth posting in the breed specific threads for the ones you're missing, certainly can't hurt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staffyluv Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 My link This thread might help a bit - if you scroll down to the breed you need answers on, you will find that breeders and owners of the breeds have talked about their chosen breeds.

Cleo's Corgwyn Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 I can do Corgi (Cardigan) for you. In fact, I think I did the same survey for someone else at a local show recently! PM me if you still need a corgi owner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espinay2 Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 (edited) Great Pyrenees are called Pyrenean Mountain Dog here (only called Great Pyrenees in North America). If you go to my website (link below) you will find the info to answer your questions in the 'about the breed' section. I have been helping quite a few with this assignment this year and most have found it has given them everything they need (and saves me writing it out again ;) ). If you want more than is on the website though, feel free to call or email me. Edited December 22, 2014 by espinay2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megs Posted December 23, 2014 Author Share Posted December 23, 2014 Thank you everyone, you've all been fantastic. I think I've pm'ed all the relevant people now. Pirate, thank you for your offer but i have your breeds done now :) Espinay2 thank you for the website link, I'll have a look tonight, sorry for calling your breed the wrong name *hangs head in shame* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 what is your time frame I can do beagles and Maremma but Im time poor for the next few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megs Posted December 23, 2014 Author Share Posted December 23, 2014 I've got another 6 days Steve, if you think you could fit them in in that time frame that would be fantastic (day 5-6 is ok, I'm quick :) ). Don't stretch yourself though, I'm working full time & doing cert 4 vet nursing as well so I know all about time pressures :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
