Hi there, I was going to fill in your form, but before doing so, could you explain why you are asking the particularly questions as I can't see the logic in some of them?

For example, why do you want to know number of walks -that doesn't give any indication of quality; wouldn't you be better to ask how much time your dog spends a day out on walks?

That is exactly what I thought. OP, you might want to expand on this a bit, especially the parts about behavioural issues (define them!), exercise, the owners routine, etc. You might want to ask about toys that owners already use as there are a huge variety of stimulating toys already on the market.
