Mr. Bill Cashman:

The Dogs Trust one was done on 3,500 people and the CSO one was on 10,000. That would carry a bit more weight than 1,000, even allowing for people giving disinformation and misinformation. Some 1,000 people is a fairly small survey when there are approximately half a million dogs in the country. We do not know how many dogs there are in the country because we do not have joined-up thinking.
