food survey for thesis

Post by northUpland » Fri Jan 28, 2011 3:39 pm

Members,

I am doing a widespread research survey for my thesis and would very much appreciate all your responses. I am polling forums members, hunters, breeders, trainers, and trailers globally so any support that the well educated members of GDF can give me is very much appreciated!

Question?

What dog food do you feed your gun dog? (brand and formula only).

Example response#1: Purina Pro Plan, Performance
Example response#2: Blue Buffalo, Chicken & Rice
Example response#3: Raw diet, home made
etc etc!

Please don't turn this survey question into a "my food is better then" thread. You guys are the very best forum for this type of survey question in the U.S. I hope to get a ton of responses to better help my research. No names or personal info will be used in this survey. Thank you very much in advance for all your help! -Mark

It would be very interesting and add another equation to your thesis if you had asked each respondent how many dogs they were feeding. Think you would find an very interesting fact if you had.
