border collies) resisted joining kennel clubs such as the AKC for 50+ years because breeding for show and meeting appearance-based "breed standards" has a notable and measurable reduction in health. The Jack Russell Terrier is an example of a breed that STILL resists joining a major "established kennel club", for this very reason (they have their own breeding association). Other things to consider is that, for example, there is a Goldendoodle breeding association of North America. I'm just wary of the arguments that there are "official" breeds or "official" clubs. Arguments should be made about notability or not, rather than which specific organization endorses which specific types of dogs. Focus on notability. Another side note, but Guide Dogs of America uses Goldadors extensively, which is notable in of itself. I'm not providing sources, as I'm just an IP and my comment will likely be ignored anyway, but I hope people read and process this comment in any case. Cheers. I hope the discussion goes more towards notability and less about what amounts to dog politics. -IP

they did breed true, they would have been recognized by a reputable breed registry. Instead, we have puppy mills and backyard breeders gouging unsuspecting buyers with potentially false and misleading information while selling them on “looks”. Inclusion of such articles is dangerously close-skirting policy because we would be accepting unverifiable crossbreeds and giving them encyclopedic recognition based on anecdotal information, not verifiable facts, historical accounts, quality record-keeping or DNA results that verify lineage. I also hesitate over merging such articles to the true breed articles because the former represents crossbreeds that lack verifiability of parentage by RS. Most are based entirely on anecdotal accounts. WP articles should provide sound, verifiable information, and I am not convinced that unverifiable crossbreeds meet that expectation, regardless of the number of online sources and/or dog books that contribute to their fame and popularity of a purported (unofficially recognized and unverifiable) designer breed.

1451:- WP should not be used as a promotional tool for "designers" and "wannabe breeds" that haven't met the minimum breed standards of notable breed registries and kennel clubs that keep track of parentage, conduct DNA testing, and can provide verifiability. I do have some reservations about the Cockapoo, not as a breed but as it relates to popularity...but then, famous doesn't qualify for a WP article on its own, and without a reputable breed registry keeping track of parentage and being able to verify that it's a purebred...well, WP may be unknowingly helping puppy mills and other types of scams by giving encyclopedic recognition to a breed that neither exists nor is verifiable. 1394:- I don't have to produce reliable sources to support any of them - I'm saying the mass-nomination of multiple pages shouldn't have been done and the AfD should be closed on that procedural basis - I'm not arguing necessarily that any individual page is notable or not, just that the nomination is improper. You say you haven't found any sources - have you been to a university library and tried proper veterinary textbooks and the like that would discuss this sort of thing - that is much more likely to be where any reliable sources on dog breeds are to be found, rather than Google searching (for example). 2512:

extreme intelligence and loyalty. Bred as companion dogs, the Cavalier's laid-back and sociable qualities combined with those of the easily trained and responsive Poodle make the Cavoodle exceptionally well suited to family life. The cross has also seen the development of a healthier breed, with many of the genetic problems of the original breeds being greatly reduced. Easy to care for and extremely tolerant and gentle with children, these modern dogs are growing in popularity.

are not happy being left alone and will bark. Sometimes Maltipoos take time to accept strangers, and can be aloof, but they are devoted and affectionate to people they know and trust. Similarly, they do not always accept other dogs at first, and time should be taken to properly socialize them. Despite their small size, Maltipoos like to get out and about and enjoy a good walk and a lively play session.

As it is, all he seems to have done is make a drive-by nomination for deletion with no constructive edits or talkpage discussion. He didn't even make courtesy notifications on the talk pages of the editors who created these articles. Just how are they supposed to discover what has happened to their creations if they are moved elsewhere without notification? 5099:, several sources have been presented for a number from this list but no attempts have been made to improve any (I will note that a number of the quotes above read as advertorials and can be used to establish little more than the two parent breeds). Until someone takes the time to improve them, at a minimum those articles should be 2716:

evident, both in the face and coat texture, and in the personality of this new "breed." Like the Poodle, the Cockerpoo is an intent observer, not given to the hyperactive excesses of many American Cocker Spaniels. An added bonus is that the Cockerpoo has a much lower incidence of skin problems than the American Cocker.

outside of just the notability question such as redundancy or already being covered appropriately elswhere. There's a lot of cleanup being discussed here related to article titles and deletion, and that's a core part of AfD when questions of notability and layout come up but deletion isn't the best option.

963:, but a mere acknowledgement that some F1 & F2 crossbred dogs are marketed under a portmanteau does not confer notability. Google shows up the usual "owners guides" and "complete owners manuals" from the same authors that pump out identical books retitled for every designer crossbreed imaginable. 5194:

Famous, popular and cute is not a good reason to include, and neither is mention in a book when verification of the breed/parentage is unreliable and reliant on visual ID. Science has demonstrated that visual IDs are faulty; therefore, so-called “designer breeds” or dog types are sketchy at best. If

I agree Andrew. It's also worth noting (as it seems to be frequently misunderstood on AfDs) that notability can be established independently from the status of an article. If the sources above show notability, then the articles should be kept regardless of their current status. And the onus is not on

I'm just an IP, so my vote wouldn't matter in any case... But I want to point out that a lot of people are referring to "recognized breeds" in terms of kennel clubs, so you're basically saying Knowledge (XXG) should endorse these private orgs definition of breeds. Many classic working breeds (such as

A recent star in the world of crossbreeds, the Puggle is a cross between two popular breeds, the Pug and the Beagle. This sturdy dog with a distinctive face may inherit the Pug's good nature and the Beagle's longer snout, which may help to reduce the breathing problems often associated with the Pug's

Little Morkies are designer dogs. Designer dogs are a mix of two dog breeds. The Maltese and the Yorkshire terrier make up a Morkie. Morkies can be full of energy. In this way, they are like Yorkshire terriers, or Yorkies. But Morkies also enjoy sitting on laps like Maltese do. You might spot Morkies

The Mal-Shi, also known as a Malti Tzu is hybrid created by crossing a purebred Maltese with a purebred Shih Tzu. Like most hybrids, they are not recognized by any major kennel club, but are becoming increasingly more popular and quite sought-after. The Mal-Shi has the characteristics of both breeds,

4968:- I've already voted keep all on procedural grounds because the amount of source material required to properly evaluate all of these articles is ridiculously large, but I'd also be now inclined to support and keep the articles where Cunard has very helpfully found sources, for the reasons suggested. 4773:

The Shihchon (also Bi-Tzu and Zuchon) is a cross between the Shih Tzu and the Bichon Frise. The Shihchon coat may have the low-shedding, low-dander qualities of the Bichon; it may also benefit from having fewer problems associated with the brachycephalic head of the Shih Tzu. The mix doesn't like to

The Yorkiepoo (also Yorkipoo) has been bred for a decade or so, the result of a cross between the Yorkshire Terrier and the Toy or Miniature Poodle. Like other Poodle crosses, the Yorkiepoo may be lowshedding and is often soft and silky. The typical small size of the dog is appealing to older owners

A cross between the Schnauzer and the Poodle, the Schnoodle was developed in response to demand in the 1980s for Poodle mixes. Schnoodles vary in size and temperament, depending on the parents involved. Schnoodles may inherit the Poodle's coat and intelligence; health issues such as skin conditions,

so I just looked at Maltipoo as I had a friend who had one. The article itself may not be the best sourced - are those dog sources reliable, especially petbreeds.com and dogtime.com?

There is no guarantee that a Morkie will have all the desired traits from their parent breeds. Some Morkies have the pointy ears of a Yorkshire Terrier. Others have ears that hang down Maltese-style. However, most Morkies do look alike. They're small dogs like their parents. Their long, soft coats

The Beagalier became particularly popular through crossbreeding programs in Australia during the 1990s and is still one of the crosses produced by major breeders. Apart from capitalizing on the existing affection for the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and the Beagle parent breeds, the breeders were

I'm closing this as a procedural non-consensus. I would have done so much earlier had I sen this afd. It seems from the discussion and the sources available that the individual articles must be disccused separately--the evidence for notability seems strogner for some than for others, but I have no

The Zuchon is a hybrid breed created by crossing a Bichon Frisé and a Shih Tzu. Although the Zuchon is relatively new, it has recently gained popularity in that, like many of the other hybrids, it is considered to have hypoallergenic qualities due to its low-shedding cost. Allergic reactions can

Schnoodles have strong personalities: they are affectionate, intelligent, active and naturally protective. They are easy to train and often excel in obedience training. Their high intelligence, however, means that they require a structured lifestyle and plenty of exercise, and can suffer if left

The Puggle was created by mating a Pug and a Beagle, the resulting offspring being a small and appealing hybrid dog. While hybridization was already being practiced seriously, the first Puggles were bred in the 1980s in the United States. Due to its energetic nature and appealing appearance, the

The Maltepoo (or Maltipoo or Moodle), a cross between the Maltese and the Poodle, adorns the arm of more than a few celebrities. The Maltepoo may inherit the low-shedding, low-dander coat of the Poodle, making the cross attractive for people with allergies. The diminutive dog can be a successful

A cross between a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and a Beagle, the Beagalier was first bred in Australi in the 1990s, focused on reducing the Beagle's scent-hunting drive and wandering tendencies. The crossbreed may have a positive effect on health problems associated with the Cavalier, including

A cross of two low-shedding, low-dander dogs — the Maltese and the Shih Tzu — the Maltese Shih Tzu was developed in Australia in the 1990s. Also known as the Mal-Shi or Malt-Tzu, this small crossbreed may be a good choice for people with allergies; the cross may also avoid the eye and breathing

2895:

The Goldendoodle is a relatively new mix, a cross between the Poodle and the Golden Retriever. Like the Labradoodle, the Goldendoodle may inherit the Poodle's low-shedding, low-dander coat. Bred in different sizes, depending on the size of Poodle, the Goldendoodle is a larger alternative to the

2715:

The Cockerpooo — a cross between the American Cocker Spaniel and the Miniature Poodle — is growing in popularity. Like other breeds, the first dogs were the result of unplanned matings, but more recently, as numbers have increased, matings between Cockerpoos have become planned. The Poodle is

The Mal-Shi owner must be committed to grooming their dog regularly, even twice a day in some cases, for its fluffy coat can become easily matted if neglected. However, there are advantages, as the Mal-Shi's coat is low-shedding making it a popular choice for those who may have

Schnoodles usually possess the rough hair and body shape of a Schnauzer, or if they inherit more attributes of the Poodle parent, they are more likely to be finer-boned in stature and to have the curly coat of a Poodle. Schnoodle colors include, white, brown, black, gray, and
