Talk:List of U.S. state dogs

"List of"?
I notice that for most of the US state insignia, the article names start with "list of". Is there a reason why this one isn't "List of U.S. state dogs"?  bibliomaniac 1  5  19:18, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
 * It originally was, but in the Featured List process it reached consensus on the current title. Miyagawa   (talk)  20:43, 25 August 2012 (UTC)

Should non-breed classifications be distinguished from breeds with a separate section?
With three non-breed classifications, "adoptable dog" (Georgia), Seeing Eye Dog (New Jersey), and "working dog" (New York), should we make a separate section? BiologicalMe (talk) 18:30, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes, that sounds like a good idea. Reywas92Talk 19:58, 11 February 2020 (UTC)


 * In a broader sense, should we expand this page to "pets", especially since the Colorado state pet was designated as an adoptable dog or cat? BiologicalMe (talk) 20:01, 11 February 2020 (UTC)

Expand to pets?
List of U.S. state pets already redirects here.

Rather than a state breed, a number of states have designated shelter dogs and cats as state pet.
 * 0. California (2015), maybe resolution, not law and not listed by state library
 * 1. Colorado (2013)
 * 2. Illinois (2017
 * 3. Ohio (2019)
 * 4. Tennessee (2014)

With the expanded scope, the three official state cat breeds (less than states including adoptable cats as official pets) could be brought over as a logical grouping. It would work of the outside chance that a state make hamsters or hippos the official pet. BiologicalMe (talk) 16:21, 12 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Yeah, nice job finding these additional states! That would be a fair way to do it then so the cats don't have to be on the mammals page or to have duplication. This is a featured list so the lead would have to be slightly rewritten too but that works for sure. Reywas92Talk 20:09, 12 February 2020 (UTC)

Map should be updated with Tennessee
