COLers I'm gonna need your help.
« on: October 29, 2010, 09:09:07 PM »
I have finally decided on what I'm doing for my  canine behaviour degree dissertation.
I am going to look at whether there is a higher instance of behaviour problems with certain colours of cockers both working and show so I might need some pictures for my report and questionnaire.
It is something that really interests me and I'm really looking forward to getting my teeth into the research.
Hope you guys will help out.

I'll gladly fill in any questionnaires you need but I have another subject I am really interested in and not enough research on if you wish to write two  :shades:   :005:

Brillant idea.

Someone told me the other day that black cockers are more likely to be guarders. :-\ I do wonder where these ideas come from and how true they are.  :005:

Ill look forward to helping and hopefully you can share your findings (im not sure how much you can disclose)

With a couple of rescue 'behaviourally challenged' cockers here, I'd be more than happy to help in whatever way we can  ;)

Good luck! :)

I have a mixed bag here:  Smudge: gold show type 4 years old (well nearly  ;) ) and Katie half show/half worker choc/tan and if you have a questionnaire I would be happy to fill it in if required. Also can provide photo/s of either/both if required.
Remembering Smudge 23/11/2006 - 3/8/2013, and Branston 30/8/14 - 28/10/22 both now at the Bridge.

More than happy to contribute if it would help - all show types here - male blue roan and tan (deceased  :luv:), male and female blue roan.

Good Luck - and as others have said, if it is possible/legal, it would be great to read the finished article?

I'm also happy to help and very interested in the results. I have a solid gold who can be grumpy/maybe seem slightly aggressive and I'm sure some would say because of his colour that dreaded 4 letter word

Good luck
