[nABEntre] An Idea: Audio Buyer's Guide to Dogs

[Tina Hansen]

I'm planning to attend a local dog show, and I have an idea running around
in my head.

 

I sometimes wonder if anyone attending a dog show knows about the various
breeds of dog they're looking at. To many, it seems that a dog is a dog is a
dog.

 

If you've seen the Westminster dog show, which is happening right now, there
is usually an announcer filling the audience in on the various breeds. I
rarely see that at a smaller dog show. This got me to thinking. What if
there was a way to create an audio guide to the various dog breeds, either
through a self-contained unit like those at museums and art galleries, or
through an app. The too would provide information about each dog breed so
the audience could learn about the dogs without looking at their phone I'd
love to hear feedback on this idea.

 

I've tried to contact the American Kennel Club, but haven't heard back.

 

My audience is anyone, with or without disabilities, who loves dogs. I
envision this tool being offered for a reasonable price at pet stores or dog
shows if it were self contained, or through your app store if it was an app.

 

Is there a need for something like this? Any thoughts? Thanks.
