Golden Retriever [10] Mid February 6, 2007 B More refs would help, especially in the health and history sections. More about care should be added (e.g. grooming needs, more on exercise, dog sports, training etc). --Pharaoh Hound (talk) 14:11, 6 February 2007 (UTC) (edit comment)
American Pit Bull Terrier [11] Low January 4, 2007 B
Australian Cattle Dog [12] Low January 5, 2007 B Has a good amount of useful info. The "breed" section should be divided up into the various sections that its info covers. A history section must be created. Dividing the appearance section into subsections would definitely importve readability. Needs more references and citations. --Pharaoh Hound (talk) 13:41, 4 January 2007 (UTC) (edit comment)
Australian Shepherd [13] Low January 5, 2007 B Has some good information. The appearance section needs dividing into subsections to importve readability. Needs more references and citations. Temperament section has a somewhat informal tone sometimes ("The Aussie has its own unique smile by showing all the teeth, and often by snorting in a fashion that resembles sneezing"). That quote is a sweeping generalization (I seriously doubt that many Aussies snort and smile). --Pharaoh Hound (talk) 13:47, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
  • I dealt with some of this. The whole article needs more basic copy editing. The info that I orginally put into the article on the breed's origin (and cited a reference) now doesn't generally match what's there, but no new reference was added. I know it's all a little vague, but that's why references are particularly important. Elf | Talk 05:54, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Aussies DO smile,but I dont know if they snort...real good article! (edit comment)
Basenji [14] Low January 5, 2007 B Has a good amount of info. Needs more references and citations. Article should mention that in addition to yodling, barooing, and chortling that they also scream (I very interesting fact, in my opinion)! Needs more images. --Pharaoh Hound (talk) 14:15, 4 January 2007 (UTC) (edit comment)
Beagle [15] Low January 5, 2007 B Needs more refs. It's rather strange that there's what appears to be some sort of gallery in the middle of the appearance section. --Pharaoh Hound (talk) 19:20, 4 January 2007 (UTC) (edit comment)
Cavalier King Charles Spaniel [16] Low January 6, 2007 B The health section is the one of the best I've seen in a dog article to date. The temperament section could be expanded. That section has a hint of anthropomorphism in a dog "presuming" something. Be mindful to not let this sort of tone slip into any expansions. Needs references. The appearance section should include more about the general appearance and build. --Pharaoh Hound (talk) 22:56, 5 January 2007 (UTC) (edit comment)
Curly Coated Retriever [17] Low March 16, 2007 B Good start, has some excellent info. The male pronouns (his, he) should be changed to be gender-neutral (it, they). Needs footnotes/more references. Needs history section. --Pharaoh Hound (talk) (The Game) 19:06, 14 March 2007 (UTC) (edit comment)
Doberman Pinscher [18] Low March 12, 2007 B
Siberian Husky [19] Low January 31, 2007 B Has lots of good info. Needs references. Pictures of more different colours would be nice. --Pharaoh Hound (talk) 17:02, 30 January 2007 (UTC) (edit comment)
Weimaraner [20] Low January 29, 2007 B As an owner, I think this is a good article. It reflects what know about the dog from various books and from owning the dog.

The comments about the temprement of the breed are useful and accurate.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 195.234.243.2 (talk • contribs).
Whippet [21] Low January 5, 2007 B Good start, especially to the temperament section. The appearance section needs expanding, and the article needs references. Some pictures of other colours would be very nice. --Pharaoh Hound (talk) 13:22, 4 January 2007 (UTC) (edit comment)

Akita Inu [25] November 28, 2006 B
American Cocker Spaniel [26] January 4, 2007 B The article has a good start, but the temperament section needs expanding, or a "care" section needs to be created. Also the article currently has no references. --Pharaoh Hound (talk) 23:22, 3 January 2007 (UTC) (edit comment)
Arcanine [27] February 12, 2007 B
Australian Kelpie [28] November 16, 2006 B I see that this article has been rated as "Start-Class". The next level above a "Stub". I see the "Editor's Experience" heading on the "Article progress grading scheme" in Wikipedia:WikiProject Australia/Assessment#Quality scale has this description of such an article:
"Substantial/major editing is needed, most material for a complete article needs to be added. This article usually isn't even good enough for a cleanup tag: it still needs to be built."

Ummmmmm. . . It's not that I'm speechless, it's that I am by nature easy-going and reluctant to say bad things about people in a forum like Wiki. My Mum always said, if you don't have anything good to say, then say nothing.

OK. "Nothing."

I am nominating this article immediately for GA status, as it meets all of the quality criteria. Gordon | Talk, 11:13, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Delisted

I have delisted this article after considering an experienced editor's comments and deciding that it requires further work -- though it is by no means a poverty-stricken stub as is implied by the Quality Scale Grading Scheme. Gordon | Talk, 14:01, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

B-class This article needs work but the information is all there whats needed is an alteration to presentation and the inclusion of more references as such I've rated the article as B Gnangarra14:12, 12 November 2006 (UTC) (edit comment)

Boston Terrier [33] November 12, 2006 B
Boxer (dog) [34] December 23, 2006 B I think this article should be ranked a A class article. The Beagle article is also a B-class for example but falls short of the Boxer article, which is properly referenced and has lot of historical breed information. If no one objects to that I will be changing the class to A soon. Regards Loudenvier 15:36, 8 March 2007 (UTC) (edit comment)

Flea [43] January 22, 2007 B Since the main thrust of Wikipedia is neutrality and accuracy, I respectfully request that evidence for the evolution of a flea be presented before language can be used that presents flea evolution as fact. To my knowledge (and I do want to learn) no one has gathered any definitive proof that a flea has ever "evolved" in the truest since of the word.

Great Dane [49] January 13, 2007 B I thought the article was strong - but the following comment cannot be true: "The large hound, alongside the horse and the raven, is holy to the kings of Denmark and England". For all I know the kings of Denmark may worship the large hound, but English monarchs carry the title "defender of the Faith" - the Christian faith - in which holiness is ascribed to God the Father, Son and Spirit. Large hounds need not apply. (edit comment)

Argentine Dogo [100] Low January 5, 2007 Start Not a bad start. Needs a health section. The temperament section needs expanding to include exercise requirements, a care section could also deal with exercise, and should also include grooming needs (or lack thereof). Article also needs references and better photos. --Pharaoh Hound (talk) 13:31, 4 January 2007 (UTC) (edit comment)
Australian Silky Terrier [101] Low January 5, 2007 Start Needs significant expansion and better images. More references and citations will be needed, especially as the article is expanded. Needs links to breed clubs. --Pharaoh Hound (talk) 13:50, 4 January 2007 (UTC) (edit comment)
Australian Terrier [102] Low January 29, 2007 Start Needs health and care sections. More pictures would be nice. Needs imperial measurement conversions. All sections will benefit from expansion. --Pharaoh Hound (talk) 20:07, 28 January 2007 (UTC) (edit comment)
Axehandle hound [103] Low January 5, 2007 Start
Azawakh [104] Low January 5, 2007 Start The appearance section should be divided into subsections. The "living with an Azawakh" section has significant style issues regarding informality and the use of second-person pronouns (i.e. "you", see WP:STYLE#Avoid second-person pronouns), and this section should be merged into the temperament section. The bottom three paragraphs of the appearance section shouldn't be in that section at all. Needs health section and references. --Pharaoh Hound (talk) 14:03, 4 January 2007 (UTC) (edit comment)
Bakharwal Dog [105] Low January 5, 2007 Start Needs significant expansion. Needs references, images, health section and possibly more external links. All sections should be expanded. --Pharaoh Hound (talk) 14:06, 4 January 2007 (UTC) (edit comment)

Beauceron [110] Low January 5, 2007 Start All sections need expanding. Needs references. Temperament section must be fixed to remove the use of second-person pronouns (you), the generally informal tone (contractions such as "isn't" are never to be used on Wiki), and the gender-specific pronouns (he, his) and replace with gender-neutral pronouns (it, its, they, theirs). --Pharaoh Hound (talk) 19:31, 4 January 2007 (UTC) (edit comment)

Brittany (dog) [115] Low January 11, 2007 Start Good start. Needs many more references. Health and history sections should be expanded. The training, method of work section should be merged with temperament. Needs info about grooming. --Pharaoh Hound (talk) 14:56, 10 January 2007 (UTC) (edit comment)
Canaan Dog [116] Low February 13, 2007 Start Needs references and external links. Health and care sections needed. All sections, especially appearance and temperament, will benefit from expansion. --Pharaoh Hound (talk) 19:55, 12 February 2007 (UTC) (edit comment)
Cardigan Welsh Corgi [117] Low February 13, 2007 Start Needs references. I find the statement that they originated from Dachshunds doubtful (especially since earlier in the page it says they originated from Vallhunds, which I find more likely), but I don't know this breed well. Needs health and care sections. The temperament and history sections should be expanded. --Pharaoh Hound (talk) 19:52, 12 February 2007 (UTC) (edit comment)
Catahoula Leopard Dog [118] Low February 13, 2007 Start Needs more references and cites. All sections could do with expansion. --Pharaoh Hound (talk) 20:01, 12 February 2007 (UTC) (edit comment)

Cerberus [120] Low January 6, 2007 Start "Heracles' final labour was to capture Cerberus, which he did by treating it with the first kindness it had ever received."


Further down the article and other sources mention wrestling the hound, hardly kindness, in his capture.

This should be corrected or clarified. IANAM (I am not a mythologist)

--Ardipithecus Maximus 18:37, 4 December 2006 (UTC) (edit comment)
Cesky Terrier [121] Low January 6, 2007 Start All sections will benefit from expansion. The exercise section should probably be changed to a more general care section which also includes grooming and training specifics. Needs references and external links. More photos would be very good. --Pharaoh Hound (talk) 22:44, 5 January 2007 (UTC) (edit comment)
Chesapeake Bay Retriever [122] Low January 6, 2007 Start The temperament and training sections both need to eliminate the use of contractions (e.g. they're, won't). Needs health and history sections. Needs references. More photos would be very nice. The appearance section should be expanded to include size and more about build and general appearance. --Pharaoh Hound (talk) 22:40, 5 January 2007 (UTC) (edit comment)

Treatment: (generic Droncit) called praziquantel as the active ingredient.

Guard dog [280] December 18, 2006 Start Per the request for assessment here I've looked over the article again and feel that it's start classs. One thing is that the "pitbull" isn't actually a breed but rather a term that encompasses the Pit Bull Terrier, American Pit Bull Terrier, Staffordshire Bull Terrier and American Staffordshire Terrier. I would say that all of the Belgian Shepherds have above-average guardian instinct (all of them succesfully compete in schutzhund), not just the mal. I would say the pug is definitely not a guard dog, watch dog perhaps. The Rhodesian Ridgeback probably wasn't developed for guardian use. --Pharaoh Hound (talk) 14:02, 16 February 2007 (UTC) (edit comment)

Labradoodle [329] November 10, 2006 Start Two factions of breeders now exist, those that breed Labradoodles and those that follow very strict guidelines and breed Australian Labradoodles. This came about as the 'breed' rocketed in popularity and many less responsible breeders began cashing in, breeding Labradoodles without hip scoring / elbow testing and careful temperament choices.

The article mentions they are a cross between the Labrador and Standard Poodle which is incorrect. Many breeders aim to reduce the size of the dog to a more manageable size, one reason being to reduce the risk of bone problems that all larger breeds of dogs are prone to. This is achieved by crossing to the Miniature Poodle. Labradoodles come in roughly 3 sizes, small (cocker spaniel size), medium (border collie size) and large (Lab size). When bred to the Standard Poodle some very large dogs can result! An experienced breeder can accurately determine adult size by tracking weight and weight gain from birth.

The first cross (F1 / filial1) takes advantage of the hybrid health theory. The results are less predictable than future crosses (F2, F3 or multi-generation) but should be healthier.

The labradoodle comes in 3 main coat types, hair (a scruffy, lower-shed lab-type coat), fleece (a loose, curly coat somewhat like a sheepskin rug) and wool (the non-shed, curly coat like that of the poodle). Pups may be a blend of the three types (wool / hair, fleece / wool etc) and again, an experienced breeder can predict coat types accurately. ome breeders claim Labradoodles are allergy-friendly which is untrue. A hair coat, although lower shed than the very high-shed Labrador, is still likely to bother those allergic to dog hair. Some fleece coats and all true wool coats can be non-allergy but, as with all dogs, this depends on whether the sufferer is allergic to the coat or a dog's dander or saliva.
