[edit] Eliminate separate breed pages for sizes
I'm wondering whether, since the breed stds seem to be the same for the 3 sizes in several kennel clubs, this article should just be the one article, like Dachshund is for the various types? Whatchu guys think? Elf | Talk 18:36, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Redirections to other languages
The redirections to other languages are a bit in disarray, I'm afraid. We have:
- Spitz type
- German spitz
- Keeshond
- Pomeranian
The first is a very general dog type represented by many breeds. The last three however represent in FCI terms just 1 breed, the Deutscher Spitz (FCI standard 97). Actually standard 97 recognizes no less than 10 varieties! (see: http://www.fci.be/nomenclatures_detail.asp?lang=en&file=group5#section4).
The Keeshond is the variety called Wolfsspitz in Germany, the Pomeranian is know there as Kleinspitz.
In Holland the German spitz is known as Keeshond. So there is a difference between the English use of the word Keeshond and the Dutch original.
