| Special request: Any terrier really digging |
Just wondering if the Terrier breed list is incomplete, or if there are reasons why some breeds have been left out. Anyone have any objections to my adding:
- Australian Silky Terrier
- Russian Black Terrier
- English Toy Terrier
- Miniature Fox Terrier
- Toy Fox Terrier
- Tenterfield Terrier
- Rat Terrier
- American Pit Bull Terrier
- Norfolk Terrier
- Norwich Terrier
- Japanese Terrier

[edit] Hunt Terriers vs. Hunting Terriers
Was this distinction intentionally made? I can see where it would be, but wanted to clarify. Keep in mind, whoever is writing this, that some terriers 'cross over'; i.e. they are hunting terriers (which I assume applies to hunting for food or pelts, vermin routing etc.) and were used for The (Fox) Hunt.

[edit] Fox Terrier
While the recent edit by an anonymous user was logical, ultimately it would confuse matters; someone would have to remember to come back here and change things back. Further, this is a breed list, not a type list. The fox terrier article discusses type; it is not restricted to the specific breeds Smooth and Wire-haired fox terriers. I think a better choice is to leave the separation, as it is in keeping with the way the breeds are listed in the rest of the project. Opinions? Quill 09:19, 15 Jul 2004 (UTC)
i reverted the edits made by Toytoy b/c the breed list shows the breed names with the wire, smooth and miniature after the main breed name. i believe that's what we've decided to use. [[User:Lachatdelarue|Lachatdelarue (talk)]] 14:00, 4 Sep 2004 (UTC)
- Yup. Refer to List of dog breeds. Elf | Talk 17:39, 7 Sep 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Multiple terrier lists
I'm still bothered by the fact that we have at least 3 complete lists of terriers (not to mention the new category:Terriers that Multmoma kindly filled in)--Terrier, Terrier Group, and FCI Terrier Group. Harking back to this ancient discussion, I'd like once again to propose having just a single list, perhaps in the Terrier article, perhaps in a table similar to this:
| Breed | AKC | CKC | FCI section | KC |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Airedale Terrier | Y | Y | 1 (USA) | Y |
| American Staffordshire Terrier | Y | Y | 3 (Canada) | n |
(note countries are invented for this example.)
I think that it gives a more complete list of terriers and a better picture of what's recognized worldwide and what isn't; I think that it'll avoid confusing people who might land on multiple of these pages and not be clear on what's going on; I think that it'll help in long-term article maintenance.

- How about 1. Terrier delete terrier list from. Add sentence like 'for a list of dogs classed as terriers, refer to category:terriers' . 2. Terrier Group add the line about not all dogs in the terrer groups being terriers and not all terriers being in the terrier group, leave the rest as is AND/OR add your table (e.g. above) in here. 3. FCI Terrier Group leave as is. Quill 09:28, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- The only problem with relying on the category list is that it includes only articles that exist & not breeds that don't yet have articles. But I guess the terrier group article could just include all terrier breeds whether recognized by any KCs or not and that might suffice... Hmmm. Elf | Talk 18:21, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- uh...good point...forgot that bit...never mind.... Quill 22:02, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Questionable addition
I've deleted a recent addition to the list of terrier breeds: with all possible respect, I doubt that there is such a recognized breed as the "Nicole McPherson Bitch-Faced Terrier". Cactus Wren 18:37, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
