Akbash dog → Akbash Dog — All reliable sources I've seen capitalize the word "dog" -- this is a breed, not a type. See. &mdash; anndelion  ( talk ) 07:59, 29 March 2011 (UTC)


 * What's wrong with just "Akbash"? Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward: not at work) - talk 10:18, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Akbash is a nickname, while Akbash Dog (or the Turkish name, Akbaş Çoban Köpeği) is the official name as per the United Kennel Club (only reputable registry that recognizes it), Akbash Dogs International, and the Akbash Dog Association of America. Having Akbash as the article's title would be akin to changing German Shepherd Dog to "German Shepherd" -- confusion is unlikely, but it's informal and, like I mentioned in the Belgian Tervuren move request, not technically correct. &mdash; anndelion  ( talk ) 11:13, 29 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Ah, right. Yep, sounds sensible, in the interests of consistency. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward: not at work) - talk 11:32, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

kangal dog from turkey is NOT a white LGD breed
title says it all. kangal dog from turkey is NOT a white LGD breed, so it should be taken out of the "white lgd breeds" list. (and i just got that out of the list) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.107.239.184 (talk) 01:05, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
