The Basque Shepherd dog is rather common in Spain. I have one myself (and I found it as a puppy half-drowned in == [ a river!- that´s how common they are). AFAIK it is an actual breed. It´s hairy, a bit smaller than a boxer, and wiry. The back legs have two spindles, like the Spanish Mastiff. I´ll get some photos and a webpageInsert non-formatted text here

[edit] Himalayan dogs confusion
Can anyone definitively sort out the Himalayan breeds? I've been searching the web (my many dog books don't refer to Bhotia, Himalayan Sheepdog, or Himalayan Mastiff at all, so they're pretty rare names) and finding confusing info. The Bhotia is either the Sheepdog or the Mastiff; the Mastiff and the Sheepdog are the same or they aren't; or maybe they're the same as the Tibetan Mastiff?

[edit] Chinese Crested
I'm not sure about what exactly "country of development" means. The Chinese Crested breeds "home country" is England, even though the origin is supposedly China. Does this mean that this breed should also be listed under England? Jerazol 06:17, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
- Yes. I agree that it is confusing. –Joke 16:08, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Gordon Setter
This breed is listed under "Scotland", I would dispute that this is the breeds origin. The Duke of Gordons kennels may well have made a great contribution to the development of the breed, however it can be shown that he took delivery of dogs from England to instigate his kennel. Even the name "Gordon" it can be argued is incorrect - a decision made arbiterily by the Kennel Club in 1924, before that they were known as "Black and Tan Setters", and were found in many kennels beside those of the Duke of Gordon. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Strider712 (talk • contribs) 20:38, 13 March 2007 (UTC).
