Thing 7 Part 1- Digital Citizenship Bogus Site #1

The Burmese Mountain Dog
http://descy.50megs.com/akcj3/bmd.html

Using Joyce Valenza's criteria to determine if this website was bogus or not, was pretty simple.
C: Credibility/Authority - By: Dr. Charlie White, Ph.D., DVM., AECT. This person claims to be a doctor of philosophy (Ph.D), a doctor of veterinary medicine, and lastly a member of the Association for Educational Communications and Technology (AECT).
A: Accuracy -  The information seems accurate. The site describes the physical traits of this type of dog that matches that of other websites about Burmese Mountain dogs.
R: Reliability - There doesn't seem to be much of a bias to a particular organization or company. The author is trying to explain the advantages and disadvantages of owning this type of dog. There are advertisements on this website, but the author isn't trying to persuade the viewer to buy anything.

R: Relevance - The author's information is relevant.

D: Date - 1994-20xx which I'm not sure what that means. It says it is updated on January 3 and June 7 each year and as required. I'm again, not sure who is requiring the updating of the page.

S: Sources Behind the Text - The link to the Pet Publishing, Co. is broken. The link to the Burma fact book is broken. Amazon is very general. The link doesn't go to a direct source for information about the Burmese Mountain Dog.  Also, the Oxford link brings you to the homepage. A person would need to search within that site to find the particular information they are searching for. The links are not useful or helpful at all.

S: Scope and Purpose - The material is very easy to read, the purpose is to inform a person about this type of dog. The site looks very generic. There are a bunch of these icons for awards for this page. They don't link to anything. They are just images that are copied and pasted onto the page. This doesn't make the page look anymore credible to me.
