Can anyone out there help me because I'm getting desperate for dogs & owners for a research project! If you can, I'd be really, really grateful, thanks. I'll post my official 'appeal' because that describes what I need a bit more concisely. Thank again for any assistance.
How Different is Your Dog?
I am an MSc Applied Animal Behaviour and Welfare student from Newcastle University conducting a research project comparing the temperament of Labradoodles and Cockapoos with their parent breeds; Labrador, English Cocker Spaniel, American Cocker Spaniel and Poodle (Standard, Miniature, Toy).
I am using the Canine Behaviour Assessment and Research Questionnaire (C-BARQ) http://vetapps.vet.upenn.edu/cbarq/ to collect responses from owners of dogs aged 6m+ from the above breeds about their dogs behaviour. I would be very grateful if you could spare 10-15 minutes to complete the questionnaire and help with this project. If you would like to assist me, please visit the link above, create a brief profile, then add a dog, making sure you select dog is participating in a study. The name of the study is Temperament Traits in NRCBD Compared to Parent Breeds (NRCBD = Newly recognised cross breed dogs), the code you require is 202127.
The C-BARQ is the only valid and reliable standardized assessment of canine behaviour available. Your dogs scores regarding their response to everyday situations and stimuli will be immediately available upon completion and will give you an informative insight into your dogs behaviour.
More information and research feedback will be posted at www.crossbreedresearch.co.uk This will give you the opportunity to learn more about temperament and dog breeds compare your own dogs results against general trends.
Thank you for taking the time to read this information and please feel free to share and cross post this message. The more responses I can get the more reliable the results.
