Talk:List of dog breeds by country

Untitled
The Basque Shepherd dog is rather common in Spain. I have one myself (and I found it as a puppy half-drowned in == [ a river!- that´s how common they are). AFAIK it is an actual breed. It´s hairy, a bit smaller than a boxer, and wiry. The back legs have two spindles, like the Spanish Mastiff. I´ll get some photos and a webpage Insert non-formatted text here

Himalayan dogs confusion
Can anyone definitively sort out the Himalayan breeds? I've been searching the web (my many dog books don't refer to Bhotia, Himalayan Sheepdog, or Himalayan Mastiff at all, so they're pretty rare names) and finding confusing info. The Bhotia is either the Sheepdog or the Mastiff; the Mastiff and the Sheepdog are the same or they aren't; or maybe they're the same as the Tibetan Mastiff?

Chinese Crested
I'm not sure about what exactly "country of development" means. The Chinese Crested breeds "home country" is England, even though the origin is supposedly China. Does this mean that this breed should also be listed under England? Jerazol 06:17, 31 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Yes. I agree that it is confusing. –Joke 16:08, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Gordon Setter
This breed is listed under "Scotland", I would dispute that this is the breeds origin. The Duke of Gordons kennels may well have made a great contribution to the development of the breed, however it can be shown that he took delivery of dogs from England to instigate his kennel. Even the name "Gordon" it can be argued is incorrect - a decision made arbiterily by the Kennel Club in 1924, before that they were known as "Black and Tan Setters", and were found in many kennels beside those of the Duke of Gordon. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Strider712 (talk • contribs) 20:38, 13 March 2007 (UTC).

Standards?
Do many of these dogs even exist? How do we know? I suggest that if the link is red, it must be cited. I think we should delete any entry which is a red link unless they are cited. No need to cite those with blue links, of course, because they're presumably cited in the article. Chrisrus (talk) 05:11, 14 January 2012 (UTC)

Same as List of dog breeds?
Just a quick question - this page contains essentially the same information in the List of dog breeds except in a less easily sorted format. Would it be out of line to propose either a merge with the List of dog breeds or even an afd on this page, since the information on this page seems to have been pulled from the List of dog breeds (With the additional criteria of requiring a breed club and not being extinct)? -- Ti ku ko  17:22, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
