What kind of questions do you think I should ask in this Q/A interview?
I am doing a Q/A interview with a breeder/show exhibitor of American Cocker Spaniels and Pomeranians. He has recently imported an ACS from another country and this dog has already won Reserve Best In Show at a dog show 3 weeks ago.
These are the only few questions I have come up with for him to answer but if you can give me more ideas on what to ask him, that would be lovely!
What breed of dog do you specialize in?
Can you give us a little information about your newly imported dog?
Do you show dogs full time or do you only do it as a hobby?
