[edit] About Me

I am an illustrator and furry fan living in Toronto, Canada with my ferrets and budgerigars. I am looking to go to cooking school to become a chef. My favorite wikithings to do is working on Dog articles, but I stick my finger into everything. I especially hate plagiarism of articles, something that can happen too often in this area.

WikiProject Dog breeds

I have exacting standards of what makes a good Dog article. I personally prefer the material to be derived, rather than copied, from sources. This is especially important in Dog breeds because so many times international standards vary slightly from one another, and sources have different and conflicting information on breed histories.

Remember: your article may be what someone will be looking at when they decide to purchase a dog. Tell them everything you would want to know, or wished you had known.

A dog article should:

Have the [Table], no matter how short the rest of the article is
Have a descriptive Appearance section, especially if there is no photo, keeping in mind differing standards
Use subsections when needed, especially for colour
Have other sections about the dog, especially Temperament
Avoid using one site for the source; the dog fancy is a complex and differing lot, and information gleened too heavily from one article or website may be biased or even wrong.
List the bad with the good
Link to national and international breed clubs and rescues in preference to dog breeders or personal home pages, except in cases of unique particular source material
Have more than one or two sentences in each section. If a section is that short, the article should probably just be a unbroken paragraph and is probably a stub.

I have a few active projects on the go. My main one is to make sure there are existing articles for AKC breeds

Finished
- Griffon Bruxellois (whew! 3 hours of work!)
- Redbone Coonhound
- Tibetan Terrier
- Skye Terrier
- Löwchen (I think too short, but oh well)
In Progress (stub)
- English Toy Spaniel (not started by me)
Currently Missing

I'm also looking to expand other dog breed stubs

Other projects:

Fandom related pages
Ferrets
Maybe write up something on new breed creation and foundation breeds?
