[edit] Cockeranian

IP disputed prod. The article utterly lacks any verification of the subject's notability through reliable sources. While poodle hybrids in general are very notable, this particular variety is not. It should be deleted and redirected to the aforementioned article. While a recognized breed by the American Canine Hybrid Association, the only criteria to meet for the organization is that a $5 fee be paid. Thus, it patently fails the test of reliability. There are many Google hits to buy the dog, but none at all in a search for news sources. VanTucky ^(talk) 01:12, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. No reliable sources are apparent, and there's no evidence this crossbreed is even particularly popular. Even the Google results (~950 hits) are entirely unremarkable for a crossbreed - compare 29,600 for the relatively unpopular "boxerdoodle", and over 500,000 for the better-known "labradoodle".
