I contibute a lot to Dog breeds Wikiproject, I have made edits to practically every dog breed page and have made myself the un-official guardian of the Dog Breed Tables. Muahaha! I am also always looking out for rare and relatively unknown breeds to add to the list of dog breeds and making sure each breed has a page (even if it is only a stub).

I see reverting vandalism as a duty, and will help fight the battle against vandalism whenever i see it! I have also recently become interested RC patrol and disambig pages and have been contributing there whenever i have a moment to spare. I also check the opentask every now and again to see if there is anything i would be particularly interested or skilled in.


Here are some tasks you can do:

I am currently taking part in a 2 year Animal Management course. My classes include: Animal collections, animal breeding, animal behaviour, breed development, animal welfare, principles of animal science, animal nursing, pet store management, animal handling, and farm animals.
