[edit] Breeds not consistent/not listed

English Toy Spaniel, Phalene, and Brussels Griffon are not listed on the List of dog breeds page and apparently need to be there, at least w/cross-references to the breed name as it appears elsewhere on the list. See Sannse's spreadsheet--? Elf | Talk 01:36, 28 Jun 2004 (UTC)

• Well, I took it upon myself to add Phalene (also wrote a stub) as I think they're adorable and also (and more to the point) know that the FCI classes them as a separate breed. Fun and games.... Quill 09:41, 28 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Bravo to the person who updated the definition of "Teacup." It looks good now! AND CORRECT!

[edit] Belgian Griffon

Isn't that a Brussels Griffon? I'm about to revert... Quill 01:02, 12 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Nope, actually 2 different breeds. Why can't they call them things like Quasinudulated Fangimonial Doghound instead of something that sounds really similar to something else? Those fools, if only they'd have asked me-- Elf | Talk 00:02, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Bichon Frise Photo

• The photo of the Bichon is a bit of a problem. In the U.S. neither the AKC nor the UKC list Bichon as members of the "Toy Group." In AKC the Bichon would be in the non-sporting group. (posted by User:209.187.42.202)

You're probably right. If someone can identify a nice photo of an all-toy breed, that would be good. Could start looking here: Wikipedia:List_of_images/Nature/Animals/Dogs. Elf | Talk 21:48, 19 December 2005 (UTC).

Or it could be possible to keep it and use it as an example on the differences between Kennel clubs... just a suggestion. Tekana 18:28, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

This whole article is a mess if you want to talk about AKC groups. A lot of the breeds are technically listed as non-sporting breeds or terriers. A lot of these dogs aren't even AKC recognised. I'd consider fixing it, but then all these rare-breed enthusiasts would come out of the woodwork and mess it up again. 165.254.143.30 17:43, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
