Hi everyone: I told you I would post the results of my 10 questions survey. Thanks to the many people who answered the questions. You guys are good sports. On some of the questions, as would be expected, some people answered the same way, so rather than count how many voted for one particular dog or answer, I will just put next to that answer (multiple votes). This was time consuming to compile the answers, so bear with me. Some people didn't give full names of dogs, or titles so excuse me if you see a dog without the full kennel name or title. I guess they would assume we would know the dog just by a first name, so that's fine because most of them were famous dogs and we would recognize them. Also I asked for dogs that were no longer being used at stud or was producing puppies as not to promote anyone's dog. Some of you sly ones tried to slip some of them in, (LOL), and maybe a few got past me because some of the dogs here, I haven't heard of. Also some people didn't answer all the questions so some lists will be less. I'm not responsible for the spelling of some of these dogs. I'm going with what people sent to me. Also note how some dogs are in most every list time and again. Also interesting to note is the answers to the attributes and faults of the breeds. Some think we're fine in the same exact area another one thinks we have problems with. Hope this is interesting and a little educational knowing what our fellow members think.
