Talk:Heidschnucke

Sheep types and breeds
I'm a bit confused about what Heidschnucke actually means: If the former, presumably these German breeds belong to the NE short-tailed group, and the non-German breeds should not be included on this page. If the latter, then this article really needs to be merged with Northern European short-tailed sheep, and the German breeds added there. Richard New Forest (talk) 13:15, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Is it a German breed or group of German breeds? The first three or four types listed in the article suggest this.
 * Is it the German term for the northern European short-tailed group of breeds? This would explain the inclusion of Gotland and Soay on the list (and the mention of Boreray later), which are not German sheep, but which do belong to that group (along with Shetland, Hebridean, Spaelsau, Iceland etc).


 * According to this, the Skudde is a member of the Northern Heather Sheep from East Prussia and the Baltics. According to this there are only three breeds in the Heidschnucke group.   Blind  Eagle  talk ~ contribs  20:44, 10 September 2009 (UTC)


 * So the Heideschnucke sheep are N European short-tailed sheep, but the Oessant, Boreray and Skudde are not Heideschnuckes? (Which of those are NE short-tails?)  Richard New Forest (talk) 22:03, 10 September 2009 (UTC)


 * It looks like to me that these three breeds German Grey Heath (Graue Gehörnte Heidschnucke), White Polled Heath (Weiße Hornlose Heidschnucke or Moorschnucke) and White Horned Heath (Weiße Gehörnte Heidschnucke) are a group on to themselves AND belong to the NE short-tail group. The others listed should be removed from this article as they appear to be only NE short-tails.   Blind  Eagle  talk ~ contribs  22:19, 10 September 2009 (UTC)


 * That makes sense. I've tidied the relevant bits.  Richard New Forest (talk) 20:11, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
