Talk:List of dog breeds/Archive 3

message: I reread the text about how breed names were chosen for the list, but I see that we've got "Blue Picardy Spaniel" but "Epagnuel Picard (Picardy Spaniel)"; since we also have "Pont-Audemer Spaniel" rarther than "Epagneul Pont-Audemer", I suggest that the Picardy listing be changed to Picardy Spaniel for our primary name. Sound OK?  Elf 17:29, 11 Mar 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, I agree.  Especially as the breed is now going towards recognition in Canada under the name "Picardy Spaniel" -- sannse (talk) 20:18, 11 Mar 2004 (UTC)

message: Hmmm, I had added the additional list of photos as links rather than as thumbnails so it wouldn't take time to download.  Now MM haschgd them all to thumbnails, and very nicely, too, but I'm concerned about having so many photos on one page.  I moved all the text above the photos, but I'm inclined to change them *all* to links to the images rather than thumbnails and let people look if they want.  Other thoughts?

replies: text: I have cleaned up Wikipedia:Images with missing articles by making a subpage. The thumbnails of the "no articles" dogs could go on such a subpage, e.g., Wikipedia:Images with missing articles/Dog breeds. Then just add that link to Wikipedia:Images with missing articles, and warn about thumbnails ahead. --Magnus Manske 08:40, 24 Mar 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: I've been bold and made this change.  There are now no images on the list - all have been moved to the sub page of "Images with missing articles".  I've made a note of where they are at the top of this page, and will add it to the Wikiproject too.  It might be interesting to consider adding a few images to this page at some point.  Maybe one per letter, on the right alongside the list - just to make it a little more interesting.  But for now I think the move is the best plan -- sannse (talk) 17:15, 24 Mar 2004 (UTC)

message: There seems to be a lot of hybrids popping up in the list of dog breeds recently, and i can imagine that some people may be experiencing diffeculties actually telling if some of the dogs on the list are hybrids or pure bred. 
Would it be a good idea to seperate hybrids from purebreds? either having them in a different section on the bottom of the page or creating a List of Dog Hybrids page? 
Just to look at the amount of hybrids ther are out there ( is one list) we may soon be overrun by hybrids so im thinking it would be easier to make the split sooner rather than later! Tekana (O.o) Talk 12:07, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

message: Per original discussions on choosing dog names when there are alternatives, I'm going on Google hits because it's very rare and not recognized by any major kennel club.  Alp Mastiff gets 152, Cane Garouf 71, Patua 24, and Italian Alpine Mountain Dog 21.  Elf | Talk 18:58, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

message: It's not clar that this is a distinct breed. There are fewer than half a dozen hits on the web. Even Molossus.com says "The Bucciriscu has a rounder head and a wider muzzle than the common Cane Corso.
The size and weight is similar of the Cane Corso; males 64-68 cm. (25-27 in) and 45-50 kg. (99-110 lbs). Some consider the Bucciriscu identical with the Vucciriscu of Sicily, but it is clear that it is closer to the Cane Corso. The present situation of the Bucciriscu Calabrese is unknown for Molosserworld at this time."  I hesitate to list it as a separate breed, although it was added to the Mastiff  list.
