Hello!

This is a call out to any dog photographers!

I'm with the University of Guelph (one of the World leading institutions for pets nutrition and veterinary science and agriculture- they played a critical role in solving the pet food poisoning by China.

My team is making a poster on "Why do dogs bark"? It's target obedience is dog owners and tries to inform them about why dogs bark in terms of the genetics, it's development, the causes and function of barking. It also speak about how to prevent and deal with barking behaviour.

We're looking for a photograph of a barking dog. You will be fully accredited on the poster and may even get a special thanks (for example if you actually go out and take a picture specifically for us there will be a section of special thanks to you).

We don't need anything made specially for us, we just would like permission to use someone's photograph of a dog and hopefully with a blank background.

I've made a quick sketch layout of the poster and will send that to anyone who would be kind enough to help us out. The poster will have an electronic version and 3D version which I will be happy to send you upon completion.

If you know anyone you think would be willing to work with us please have them send me a note.

Thank-you all

Well,

more important to me than anything. Haha!

Anyway, I've put up my first poll. I'm working in a genetic group and we just did a report on hamster (golden or teddy bear hamster). Turns out they're 100% inbred, sick eh? They all originated from the same brother sister mating back in 1930. Took 8 years for them to be 100% inbred.

Anyway, we have a second project to do and we can't decide on what companion animal to look into. we need an animal that has breeders and pedigrees but DOESN'T have any genetic improvement program set up.

Any thoughts are more than welcome Please go see the poll and promote it elsewhere on DA the more people I get voting the better!

Btw, any animal really can be a companion/pet animal.

p.s. anyone who wants to learn about hamsters I wrote the paper on it and your more than welcome to have it. It's throughly researched and I made it public friendly. The only real science is in the results and I explained that all in the discussion section. Gives tips on how to raise them and everything ^^ Just note me if you want it, doubt you will hello it's hamsters lol!

I'm and old fart now!! Today I be 22 years of age. But apparently I only look 20 so i still get carded 3 times at night at the bar XDD
