Do you recall some time ago I pointed to the research being done on breed recognition? Mutt Mix. It was in connection to work at Darwin's Ark. (Cats take note, your turn will come soon - get your peeps to register interest from that link!)
Those of you who pawticipated will already have received notification of the results.
Didya download your certificates???
How did you all do? Of the 32 dogs, I picked two correct breeds of the main three on seven of the pups; and picked one correct breed on five others. That's a total of twelve in which I recognised something. Initially, I was disappointed - one likes to do well, right? However, when reading that even so-called 'professionals' didn't do much better, I figured this really is proof positive that one cannot read a book by its cover!!! It was fun to take part and to look at all those lovely dogs and anything which contributes to research has got to be good.
On another note; I have had visitors. You are reading this as they pack in prep to depart tomorrow. Hailey and Zaphod very kindly let their peeps off-leash to travel parts 'furrin'! As I shall finish off the Suffolk Saga posts tomorrow, I can then start sharing what we got up to with Lady and Man from Canada!!!

Congrats YAM...sounds like you scored right up there with professionals if not better.
ReplyDeleteWe are excited to read all about Lady and Man's visit. I guess they are heading home now.
I know two pups who will be glad to see them
