[edit] Bordador

Yet another non-notable crossbreed, even less notable than others that have been deleted in the past, see Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Boggle_(dog) and Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Boggle_(dog) for previous deletions of this sort of thing. Google search shows 51,000 hits for the term, and none of which refer to the dog - all are spanish language or are in reference to a person's last name. Trysha ^(talk) 21:04, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete as nom. -- Trysha ^(talk) 21:04, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete ... no references, appears to be original research. Akradecki 22:37, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete As a veterinarian, I see a lot of Labradoodles, Goldendoodles, and Puggles, which have come to be well known hybrids. Looking at those articles, you can see that they give information on history and standards and some references. This article is a bout a mixed breed with no notabilty. "Bordador" + "border collie" gives 8 unique google hits [1]. --Joelmills 00:46, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
• Query from a non-dog enthuthiast : shouldn't the question be whether the accidental breed exists and whether or not there is a better name for it? And let the person who created the file link to it? I'm pretty new to wikipedia and this is way outside my area of expertise — I have 2 kittens and no dogs — but just because a google search doesn't find squat doesn't eliminate things from existing and from having importance. I fell here through my interest in all things from Newfoundland and Labrador and I noted with interest the link from the Labrador Retriever to the Bordador and its speedy deletion. Just my opinions.

• Delete The mix is recognized by an organization known as the American Canine Hybrid Club, which seems dedicated apparently to coming up with catchy names for cross-bred dogs: The "Cock-A-Chon" anyone? (I'm serious.) This is just what it sounds like: a cross breed. That's not good or bad, but its name and "genealogy" - as well as the particulars of this article and its assumptions - are fantasy.

• However -- You must admit that he is totally cute though. Since I got him from the SPCA I have come across very many dogs of the same mix here in California. The rural areas of the state have many working border collies and Labradors and the mixes are adopted out at the urban SPCAs throughout the state in fairly large numbers. I'm sure many other states (and countries) have a similar experience. People around here are regularly calling them Bordadors. No one intentionally breeds them and I hope no one ever does -- there are far too many wonderful homeless dogs being killed at shelters every day. If you use the advanced search function on Dogster.com (a tiny fraction of the world's dogs are represented on the site) you will currently find 333 dogs under Labrador/Border Collie and an additional 346 listed under Border Collie/Labrador. That is 679 on Dogster alone, suggesting huge numbers in the world in total. Why shouldn't all of the guardians of these dogs (and all other people) have a word to easily describe their dogs? Just because no one is irresponsibly intentionally bringing more puppies into a world with an enormous dog over-population? Sorry, but I just don't get it. Words come into usage because they are useful.

Let's move the discussion outside of the deletion issue elsewhere. I'll post to your page. CMacMillan
