Review of individual breed pages

A serious look into the notability of many of the new cross-breeds listed in this article needs to be undertaken. My look into Chihuachshund has led me to believe that many of these cross-breeds may be insufficiently notable (see WP:Notability to merit individual articles, and as such, should probably be merged with this list. I plan on taking no immediate action. Please discuss the situation below. Jo7hs2 (talk) 18:44, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

I am still considering merging any other cross-breeds of questionable notability into this article. The worst offenders are: Borador Maltalier Any comments? Jo7hs2 (talk) 00:13, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

I have recommended merger for four of the articles. The articles not currently suggested for merger aren't necessarily not candidates for merger, but they are sourced to a point where I want to look more closely at the issue. Discussion for the four pending mergers found below. Jo7hs2 (talk) 19:01, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

I have merged three of the articles per the discussion below. Jo7hs2 (talk) 19:48, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

Can you merge another one? Jug (dog) also has "a lack of standalone notability proven by multiple, reliable, third-party sources as per WP:Notability" and is not a breed of dog, but rather a designer dog type crossbreed, so should be listed here instead of having a separate article.--Hafwyn (talk) 03:35, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

I have recommended the merge in a discussion below. Jo7hs2 (talk) 21:10, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

Merger proposal

I have proposed that the article Chihuachshund be merged into the section for that designer breed in this article. This is due to a lack of standalone notability proven by multiple, reliable, third-party sources as per WP:Notability. Appears to be a fairly non-notable new breed, which may have notability in future, but currently does not. My proposal is that a brief summary of the information in Chihuachshund be entered into the comments section of that breed's entry. At that point, Chihuachshund would be redirected to either this page, or to Dog hybrids. It is important to note that Chiweenie, the alternative name for Chihuachshund, already redirects to Dog hybrids. I will leave this merge proposal open until Thursday, January 8th, 2009 at approximated 6:38pm GMT (1:38 EST). If no comments are made by then, or if a consensus is reached by then, I will go ahead with the merger as proposed. If you object, please say so (and why) below. Jo7hs2 (talk) 18:39, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

• Do it. The article is unreferenced as it is - most of it is probably unreferenceable, in fact. There's very little to merge besides the name. Take a look at the contents of Category:Dog crossbreeds for a couple other potential targets for similar merges... I got rid of a ton of non-notable crosses a while ago, but it look like they've been getting added again. Zetawoof_(ζ) 23:14, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

• With no opposition I am going to go ahead with a merger in the coming days. Jo7hs2 (talk) 23:57, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

• Merge Completed, see also old talk-page here.

Merger Proposal Discussion for Maltepoo

I propose that a summary of the information in Maltepoo be merged into the appropriate section in List of dog hybrids. This is due to a lack of standalone notability, and because the current separate article for each new dog hybrid breed is messy and not required with such a list already existing. With no opposition I will carry out this merger on or after January 19th. Jo7hs2 (talk) 18:57, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Merger Proposal Discussion for Catahoula Bulldog

I propose that a summary of the information in Catahoula Bulldog be merged into the appropriate section in List of dog hybrids. This is due to a lack of standalone notability, and because the current separate article for each new dog hybrid breed is messy and not required with such a list already existing. With no opposition I will carry out this merger on or after January 19th. Jo7hs2 (talk) 18:57, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

I would oppose this merger. The article, while not refined, has several sections and presents information in a way in which the list alone could not. It also has between 100 and 200 page views per day, suggesting that there is an independent interest in this breed. Awickert (talk) 06:53, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

Can you provide sources proving the notability of this hybrid breed? As I mentioned, I'm suggesting a merger largely because this bybrid breed seems non-notable. The sources that currently exist for the article are really of questionable reliability, are there any from more reliable sources? I would tend to agree that this article is the best out of the four, so if there are such sources, I would be more than willing to withdraw the merger proposal. Jo7hs2 (talk) 14:09, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

I'll look around - but I don't think that it is a generally good idea to axe what could be genuinely good information instead of making a good effort to substantiate it with what would make it "notable", on the philosophy that the more info that is on here, the better. Awickert (talk) 16:24, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

All right - did it. Although the sources are websites, they seem to be more reliable ones. In the interest of keeping as much info on wiki as possible, I'd say it would be good to keep the status quo and keep the list linking to the page. Awickert (talk) 16:35, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

In this case I agree. The hybrid is an old enough breed that with proven notability it deserves to have an article. I'm closing the merger discussion, and removing the merger tag. Jo7hs2 (talk) 18:56, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

Merger Proposal Discussion for Borador

I propose that a summary of the information in Borador be merged into the appropriate section in List of dog hybrids. This is due to a lack of standalone notability, and because the current separate article for each new dog hybrid breed is messy and not required with such a list already existing. With no opposition I will carry out this merger on or after January 19th. Jo7hs2 (talk) 18:58, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

I've added some info and reliable refs which should fix the "notability" problem. The article is still short enough that it would not be hurt by the merger - all the info and refs could just be incorporated there - but as per the Catahoula Bulldog (above), if it gets too big for this and some information would be lost, I'd support keeping a standalone page with the summary and link on the breed list page. Awickert (talk) 16:37, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

I still think Borador is such a small article that it belongs in the list, rather than as an individual article. Jo7hs2 (talk) 18:54, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

Sorry if that didn't come across - yes - I agree. Unless it gets bigger, go for list. Awickert (talk) 21:22, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

Merged per above discussion, should additional content become availible, distinct article may be merited, but as it stands currently a merge is the proper course of action. Jo7hs2 (talk) 19:46, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

Additional category for working crosses

Crossbreeding of working dogs is quite common and some are so often done that they are named and/or are a regional type. How about a separate table for those?

Actually I sort of hate to put them with "hybrids"... a cutesy name devised to add monetary value to pet dog crosses and mixes by obscuring the fact that they are crossbreds and mixes... maybe working dog crosses should have a separate page. Labradoodle can go on both.--Hafwyn (talk) 19:45, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

I'm not sure that I'd be behind splitting to form another list. I would prefer a restructuring of this page to reflect both working and toy hybrids, rather than adding another list to Wikipedia. Perhaps your initial suggestion for another table could be adapted to this purpose. Perhaps one table for non-working dogs, and another table for working dogs, all on List of dog hybrids would work?

Merger Proposal for Jug

From above: Can you merge another one? Jug (dog) also has "a lack of standalone notability proven by multiple, reliable, third-party sources as per WP:Notability" and is not a breed of dog, but rather a designer dog type crossbreed, so should be listed here instead of having a separate article.--Hafwyn (talk)

As per Hafwyn's request I am recommending Jug (dog) be merged into this page. I will wait at least five (5) days before carrying out any action. Please object now if you wish to do so. Jo7hs2 (talk) 21:09, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

Having recieved no objections, I am carrying out the merge. As there was little verifiable information in the source article, I have basically just provided the parentage. Please feel free to add information to the Jug entry on this list. Jo7hs2 (talk) 18:23, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

Cockapoo picture

I think that picture being on the page is highly uneccesary, considering the picture is on the Cockapoo page and it is so small you can barely see it. Does anyone else think it needs to be removed? Mokoniki (talk) 16:31, 4 August 2009 (UTC)Mokoniki

At first I was going to mark that for deletion, since it's an opinion. But I think everyone here can concurrr that few human beings will find their barks pleasant. 68.206.254.228 (talk) 14:04, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

Any chance of Sharpei+Labrador to be added to the list?

I have one of them, by looking on the net for pictures of others crossbreeds like mine, I found these names Sharpador which sounds nice and gives 300+ hits on google, Sharbrador does not sound so good (5 hits), and Labrapei ugly name (3 hits). I was able to recognice from a lot of pictures (using picture searchers) which where pure labrador/sharpei and which where sharpei/labrador mix. Also, was easy to know if some of them where lab or sharpei mixed whith other dogs like doberman or others. So why not add that mix name to the list?.

Merged into the list as of this afternoon. Added image from Morkie to top right of article, felt it illustrated the differences between two different crosses of the same type quite well. Miyagawa (talk) 12:58, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

I un-merged the "Morkie" page (sorry, I didn't see this discussion prior to doing it). However, I believe the Morkie deserves it's own page because it is a fairly popular hybrid dog breed. Not only that, but the purpose of Wikipedia is to provide information and knowledge on certain subjects to interested parties. While the Morkie page could definitely be expanded, even in it's current form it provides valuable information about the breed to people who may be interested. Simply have the Morkie included in the list of hybrid dogs does not provide any information on the hybrid itself. If the article is merged, users that actually want information on the breed won't be able to get it from Wikipedia. Falconhs02 11:45, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

The decision was made to merge this article. This resolved decision should be respected. This is a non-notable cross and despite what the above poster says, it is NOT a breed.

Alaskan Klee Kai

Shouldn't someone include this dog here? 7&6=thirteen (talk) 21:48, 16 January 2011 (UTC) Stan

The Klee Kai is a distinct recognized breed, not a hybrid. Zetawoof (ζ) 23:19, 16 January 2011 (UTC)

It is a recognised breed, but it's one of hybrid origin, which we do cover here. In this case it seems that we know one of the parent breeds but not the other, but we know little about some of the others, so perhaps we should include it. Richard New Forest (talk) 09:46, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

Goberian

Is there any reason why the Siberian Husky/Golden Retriever breed is not on this list?--Ashbear160 (talk) 21:03, 8 April 2011 (UTC)

Since there are so many designer breeds and mixes, only the most notable are supposed to be included here, one would think. Labradoodles, Puggles, Lurchers, et. al. are all notable in their own right. That section probably needs some cleanout, anyway -- why list it here if it doesn't have an article? — anndelion ※ 21:21, 8 April 2011 (UTC)

[Edit conflict] Clearly there are hundreds of crosses that could be listed, and so we have to try to keep the list to a sensible length (see discussion above). We therefore limit the list to types which which have good independent references to show they are regularly bred on purpose. If there are such refs for the type you mention, then we should include it. Do you know of any? Richard New Forest (talk) 21:33, 8 April 2011 (UTC)

Merge Chorkie

Somebody just created the new article Chorkie. Not much there and little reason that it should not be merged here. Safiel (talk) 22:13, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

If chorkie was merged here, then why does it not have even a mention or spot on the page? Do you mean to say that the page now points here and this crossbreed doesn't even merit a mention? I don't get it, unless it was simply overlooked. CyberCosmiX (talk) 09:08, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

There are very many hybrids which are not notable enough to warrant articles nor even a mention on this page. It does seem sensible if these names point here – what else would we do with them...? If on the other hand they are notable, then no reason why they cannot have their own articles and be mentioned here. Richard New Forest (talk) 21:53, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

Scope, notability, omissions

It seems to me that this article has got rather out of hand. We have a long list of first-cross dogs most of which have nothing whatever notable about them other than their amusing portmanteau names (which are already well covered by Dog hybrid#Portmanteau names). Few of them have any encyclopaedic info, and I suspect that most have been added by loyal owners. Certainly very few have any refs to support their existence, let alone notability. How many of them have owners' clubs or any other external recognition? Indeed, have more than a few of them ever been bred deliberately?

We also seem to omit a number of recognised breeds of relatively simple hybrid origin, such as the Rough Collie, Shetland Sheepdog, Bull Terrier and Irish Wolfhound.

I think we should prune the list quite a bit. How about:

• A list of recognised breeds or types of hybrid origin
• A list of recognised crosses

We would strictly limit the inclusion in either of these lists to those with articles or supporting refs (which of course we do have to do anyway in WP). I imagine that the list would be perhaps a quarter its current length.

I realise that there may be people with strong emotional attachment to inclusion of "their" particular type in these lists. However, as we know, Wikipedia is not just there to provide us with a place to exhibit our own family pets, and it is by including every one-off type that we've ended up with the unwieldy list we have now. To have a credible encyclopaedia we do sometimes need to be ruthless. It might help editors to think about this dispassionately by imagining a list of, say, cattle hybrids. Would we consider the "Limouford", "Gloucestergus" or "Highman" worth listing? (This is not as far-fetched as it might appear – portmanteau names are also popular with creators of cattle breeds, and there are many genuine notable ones such as Brangus, Senepol and Beefalo.)

Any thoughts? Richard New Forest (talk) 14:36, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

I think you bring up some excellent points. I agree that this article shouldn't become a list of everyone's favorite one-off hybrid. I'm in favor of deciding upon specific rules for which hybrid dogs should be included and agree that a list of recognized breeds/types of origin crosses and recognized crosses is a good place to start. What about including crosses that are bred for specific purposes but not necessarily sold? I don't know if this is appropriate for this article or not. For example, Summit Assistance Dogs in Anacortes, WA (http://www.summitdogs.org) has been breeding Rough Collie-Labrador Retriever mixes for use as service dogs. They've been calling them "Collieadors" though I've wondered if linguistically, the vowels should merge and the name should be Collidor, Colledor or Collador. (This is outside my area of expertise, however, so hopefully a linguist will see this and comment.) Please see the following links for examples of these dogs and more information:

• http://summitdogs.org/training.html ("D" litter pups Dawson, Denali and Dixie)
• http://summitdogs.org/grads.html ("A" litter pups Annie & Alki in 2007 and "B" litter pups Bridget, Brooklyn, Bergy and Beauty in 2008)
• http://summitdogs.blogspot.com/2008/07/some-updates.html (C litter)
• http://summitdogs.blogspot.com/search/label/D-Litter (D litter)

Rebecca (talk) 17:54, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

No, we don't have to be limited to what is sold – if there's good evidence for its existence, then we can include it. As for everything else, if there is good evidence we can include it, and if not, not: this goes for the names used too. If "Colleador" is the name used in published information, that's what we have to use, even if we can think of something more logical – if the sources called them, say, "Wooblethrip" that's what we'd have to go with...

Though actually "Colleador" seems as good as anything to me – perhaps the echo of "Toreador" is deliberate. (Wonder why they don't use "proper" collies such as Borders, which are surely much brighter and keener than Rough Collies.) Anyway I don't think portmanteau words are required to be strictly logical linguistically. Just think of Humpty Dumpty himself, who first explained them, and then in almost the same breath maintained that the "wabe" (also mentioned in Jabberwocky) was the name for the area around a sundial and was so called because it went "a long way behind it, a long way before it, and a long way beyond it on either side"... Portmanteaus are a word game, and so we can have fun with them. Richard New Forest (talk) 20:37, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

On a quick look through, I think we could include the following:

Breeds or types of hybrid origin

• Alsatian Shepalute
• American Bully
• American Mastiff
• Bull Terrier
• Eurasier
• Irish Wolfhound
• Kyi-Leo
• Rough Collie/Smooth Collie
• Shetland Sheepdog
• Silken Windhound
• Wolf-dog hybrid

Common first-cross hybrids

• Australian Collie
• Catahoula Bulldog
• Lurcher
• Malshihtzu?
• Peke-a-tese
• Puggle
• Poodle hybrids
  • Cavapoo
  • Chorkie?
  • Cockapoo
  • Goldendoodle
  • Labradoodle
  • Pugapoo
  • Schnoodle
  • Shih-poo
  • Westiepoo
• Sibe-bord?

I've included those that have articles (though some of those do seem of dodgy notability) and those with refs that are more than a trivial entry in a list (though in fact even the better refs are mostly of poor quality). I've excluded sub-types, derivatives and breeds of unknown or unclear hybrid origin, such as the Doberman Pinscher. Richard New Forest (talk) 21:35, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

No further comments. Any more before I implement changes as above? Richard New Forest (talk) 15:21, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

Reorganisation done. Comments please. Richard New Forest (talk) 21:19, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

Time to grow the list. Notability does not govern lists and I really don't care for the attitude here. All "purebreds" start as "crossbreeds"...and about the only people who care are uptight owners and breeders with a monetary stake. I've been living with "Boradors" for most of my life - not finding them here is offensive. I value intelligence, demeanor, and agility. Show me a dog that can best my offspring. With few exceptions, I view most "purebreds" as nobility - that is, inbred failures with a limited gene pool. -- Signed Buddy, canine at large (my master told me to) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.57.40.143 (talk) 23:12, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

Buying

Finding Beaglier puppies for sale from Beaglier breeders

Beagliers can still be classed as being fairly rare at this stage and locating a Beaglier breeder can be a little difficult but one of the best ways is to go through a breeders agent. They will have contact with many different breeders and will usually be informed first of when litters are planned or available. A reputable breeders agent will also be able to provide you with further information on the care of your Beaglier puppy as well as ensuring that the puppy has had the appropriate vaccinations, worming etc and is the right age to go to their new home.

^I cut this from the actual article because I don't think it should be in an encyclopedia article. For example, the wikipedia article on 'Beagle' doesn't have a section on acquiring beagles.

• Support redirect and/or selective merge Came here from Wikipedia:Task Center to see if I could assist with carrying out the merge, but see it's just been proposed. Cavoodle is not too long of an article, and it could easily be redirected or have selective details merged into List of dog crossbreeds. Also, hello to Atsme—nice to see you again. :) Dmehus (talk) 00:24, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

I suggest we merge "poodle crossbreeds" here, to this page. 10 of the listed dog crossbreeds are poodle crossbreeds. Simply redirect "poodle crossbreeds" to this page. Done.

There are other, differing proposals happening elsewhere, but this is the best solution.
