Talk:List of U.S. state dogs

"List of"?

I notice that for most of the US state insignia, the article names start with "list of". Is there a reason why this one isn't "List of U.S. state dogs"? bibliomaniac15 19:18, 25 August 2012 (UTC)

It originally was, but in the Featured List process it reached consensus on the current title. Miyagawa (talk) 20:43, 25 August 2012 (UTC)

Should non-breed classifications be distinguished from breeds with a separate section?

With three non-breed classifications, "adoptable dog" (Georgia), Seeing Eye Dog (New Jersey), and "working dog" (New York), should we make a separate section? BiologicalMe (talk) 18:30, 9 February 2020 (UTC)

Yes, that sounds like a good idea. Reywas92^Talk 19:58, 11 February 2020 (UTC)

In a broader sense, should we expand this page to "pets", especially since the Colorado state pet was designated as an adoptable dog or cat? BiologicalMe (talk) 20:01, 11 February 2020 (UTC)

Expand to pets?

List of U.S. state pets already redirects here.

Rather than a state breed, a number of states have designated shelter dogs and cats as state pet.

0. California (2015), maybe resolution, not law and not listed by state library

1. Colorado (2013)

2. Illinois (2017

3. Ohio (2019)

4. Tennessee (2014)

With the expanded scope, the three official state cat breeds (less than states including adoptable cats as official pets) could be brought over as a logical grouping. It would work of the outside chance that a state make hamsters or hippos the official pet. BiologicalMe (talk) 16:21, 12 February 2020 (UTC)

Yeah, nice job finding these additional states! That would be a fair way to do it then so the cats don't have to be on the mammals page or to have duplication. This is a featured list so the lead would have to be slightly rewritten too but that works for sure. Reywas92^Talk 20:09, 12 February 2020 (UTC)

Map should be updated with Tennessee

I don't know how to update Wikipedia appropriately but I noticed that Georgia does have a state dog.

The state of Georgia passed legislation naming the ”adoptable dog” as the official state dog. Here's a link to the legislation on the Georgia government website.

That source doesn't show that the law was signed by the governor and became a law (but I don't know the process in that state). I also can't find any news source that indicates that. I did find Act 358; SB 168 on page 48 which seems to indicate that it became a law. There's an article in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, but I can't find a readable version of it. Anybody else have any sources. SchreiberBike | ⌨  01:50, 28 August 2024 (UTC)

After all that work, I look at our list and in the section Designations other than breed, Georgia is mentioned for "adoptable dog". That has a reference but it no longer works. SchreiberBike | ⌨  01:56, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
