Lou Ann, Marylou posted it in another thread. I had no problems with the survey and was interested to read the results. But not many had replied yet. I wish there was a way to go and review the answers after more people have been polled.

I also had problems with the survey and still am not sure if my results were recorded or not.

I do hope the NCA will let us know what the outcome is.

Yes, I hope they publish the results. I was very interested to see that when I took it (early on) most of the people were not NCA members, but gave some encourgaging answers. I hope people really are doing their homework before they get a dog. At least that's what the answers indicated. I was a bit disappointed by some though. There were several questions regarding whether or not people would get a dog that had parents that were affected or carriers of certain health problems that indicated to me that these people were being unrealistic. For example, some said they would not get a dog if one parent was a carrier of Cystinuria. And some said they wouldn't get a dog if one or both of the parents had ortho problems. And for the most part, these were people who don't intend to breed. I think that's sort of sad and misinformed. Some even said they wouldn't get a dog if it had certain diseases in it's pedigree. That, I think, is impossible.

But it was early in the polling process, so I think the answers will change.

I also had zero problemo's taking the test. I like the fact that you could see the data after taking the survey. It was very interesting. I believe they are going to publish in Newftide after the survey is over, and they will propably put it on their website also.

NCA Health Survey - Results

Hi-

You can continue to view the results of the NCA Health Survey here:

http://survey.constantcontact.com/survey/a07e2pve6fxg5e4bhtt/results

This does not include the text answers - they will be compiled and posted online and in Newf Tide once the survey is closed. Please spread the word- we would love to get every person who has owned a Newf in the last 5 years to take this survey. Please share this link:

http://www.ncanewfs.org/health/survey10.html

People can review the questions and then the link to the live survey is at the bottom of the page.

Boy! I just think its kind of sad that only 163 people have filled out this survey when a lot of the answers could be useful to breeders and owners alike. When you think of all the thousands of Newfie owners there are just in the US, I'm surprised by the lack of participation.

Thanks to everyone who has participated!

I agree with you Jane. I don't know why more people have not participated, maybe apathy?
I filled it in and notice that only TWO more Canadian NCA members have done so, that is pretty poor.

I've been fasinated at the relies so far. Very interested to see the individual responses to some of the questions when they are published.

I've been very interested too. But I wonder if the small sampling skews the answers. Would love to see at least 1000 people surveyed.
