It is almost never suitable to copy content from another web site to Wikipedia, for more than one reason, the most important being copyright. When you post anything to Wikipedia you release it for anyone in the world to reuse it, either unchanged or modified in any way whatever, subject to attribution to Wikipedia. It is very rare that the owner of a web site licenses content for such very free reuse, and in those few occasions when they do so, we require proof of the fact. We don't assume that content is freely licensed on the unsubstantiated say so of just anyone who comes along and creates a Wikipedia account. Certainly we can't accept content copied from a web page which bears the copyright notice "© 2013 VerticalScope Inc. All rights reserved." As far as I could see, all of the content of the page User:JohnnyRoss73/sandbox that is not just taken from the article Schnoodle was a copy of www.petguide.com/breeds/dog/boglen-terrier, so it has been deleted. I think you should also know that in several other ways the content yo put in the page was not suitable for a Wikipedia article, such as the fact that it addressed the reader, and contained advice for owners, neither of which is consistent with the purpose of Wikipedia. Consequently, the page would have been unlikely to survive long as an article even had there been no copyright problem. My advice to new editors is that it is best to start by making small improvements to existing articles, rather than creating new articles. That way any mistakes you make will be small ones, and you won't have the discouraging experience of repeatedly seeing hours of work deleted. Gradually, you will get to learn how Wikipedia works, and after a while you will know enough about what is acceptable to be able to write whole new articles without fear that they will be deleted. Over the years I have found that editors who start by making small changes to existing articles and work up from there have a far better chance of having a successful time here than those who jump right into creating new articles from the start.
