[edit] group of dogs or breed?
This needs help.
Is it meant to be about pariah dogs, i.e. feral dogs, or a dog breed called Pariah Dog?

- I originally meant it as being about feral dogs. I hadn't seen the more recent edits that seem to indicate it's a breed, although I'm not convinced that 14,000 years of dogs in random villages makes a capitalization-worthy breed. More info needed. Elf | Talk 21:51, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
- Hmmm...come to think of it, I believe I've seen reference to some (developing?) breeds being considered pariah dogs by kennel clubs, used as if pariah dog is a category of dogs. Something to add to the look-up list.... Quill 03:36, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
- When I was working on it in early 2006, I found many breeds referred to as "Pariah-type" but no one breed explicitly called Pariah (though the UKC has a group with that name). I hope the material added to the second & third paragraphs helps clarify feral v. pariah -- Lisasmall 22:04, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
