Hmmm does any DNA test take fur samples? Im sorry for your loss. :emoji_blue_heart:

What about a DNA test home kit, it can also look at genetic health disorders either carried or possible to occure and find a slither of info about the parents and ascendants....maybe? I'm not sure on their accuracy and results depend on the wealth of the companies database.

n/a means:not applicable, not available or no answer - if the dog was rescued they may not know the dogs history and some owners may not have wanted a post-mortem and thus won't know.

@Josie thank you , its okay I was just trying out different platforms of research :).

I have done secondary research and have a list of scientific journals. In the report you discuss the reliablity of the data that has been collected. Im meeting up with a bulldog owner club tomorrow.

Giving the participant an option to not answer is for the ethics of research.

Why would stating my dog has had issues with entropion, be parlous? I do agree Q6 asks too much. Using forums for surveys is an research method. I would have sent a link to a survey monkey to ensure privacy but this chat unables me.

I'm assuming there are no bulldog owners present on this forum then. I apologise if my request came across negatively. To compile a balanced report the experiences and opinions of; the veterinarians, the breeders and the owners.

Dicussion with; American bulldog, Olde English or Leavitt bulldog owners would also be useful and much appreciated. :)

:D

Hi, My name is Ella and I'm researching English bulldogs (as part of a University project). As a student of Animal Management (University of Hertfordshire), I am compiling a research report on health issues of the breed. As well as speaking to vets and pet insurers, I would love to understand...
