Revision as of 18:38, 30 June 2007
I'm not wedded to the idea of this article, but didn't think it should be in the biological article dog.
Certainly not sure about adding in fictional dogs, due to what happens at that other wiki with respect to the growth of lists at the expense of encyclopaedic knowledge.
Would appreciate opinions and suggestions. Better yet, go ahead and act.

- this isn't history--folklore (or anthropology) or classics maybe. Argos was fictional of course. ...said Richard Jensen (talk) (Please sign your talk page posts by simply adding four tildes, ~~~~.)
- I suggest it should inclusively be classics, history, and media, since we are dealing with dogs ranging from mythology (e.g., Cerebrus), to ones of historical fame (e.g., Balto), to ones in popular culture (e.g., Scooby Doo). As for who will approve? Ideally, editors from all three? Stephen Ewen 01:58, 9 June 2007 (CDT)
- Given the way this is shaping up, I think the fictional dogs should probably be moved from here to "dogs in popular culture" or "fictional dogs", and this should be reserved for historic dogs for the sake of balance.
- That having been said, I don't see why the workgroup should be anthropology rather than history?

- p.s. to say that we could do it another way: move real-life dogs to Historical dogs or dogs in history or some such. Aleta Curry 19:38, 30 June 2007 (CDT)
