[edit] Poi dog
Sorry, I'm not on WP much any more (too addictive), so I just saw your question on my user page. SO I went back to a couple of books and went searching for reputable sites online. I see that it's a very overloaded term. In current Hawaiian usage it seems to mean mixed breed. But I also see a couple of references to the extinct "native" breed as "Poi Dog" (although I wouldn't say they're definitive online sites), and the Continental Kennel Club now recognizes a breed called the "Hawaiian Poi Dog"--but I won't go on about what a bogus organization the Cont. KC seems to be. So I think you're right that its various uses needs clarification somewhere. I'll try to keep my eyes open for better references. Fogle doesn't list it in the index and neither does Cunliffe's Encyclopedia of Dog Breeds, which were my 2 books closest at hand. I've got more in the other room but for now--back to real work. Hate when that happens. Elf | Talk 16:48, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Dog books
You asked:
- I've heard you say you have quite a collection of dog books. Any chance you could list them for us?
Um, OK, I could see whether I could export the list from my book database in some sort of usable format (I really don't want to type them all in). Did you have a specific place in mind for me to post them? Elf | Talk 16:34, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
- That would be wonderful. :) You could post it on your talk page so more people can see, or on a seperate website. I don't mind where you post them. I'm always looking for new reading material on canines. Vortex 17:04, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sight hound vs. Sighthound
Hi! I noticed that a user mentioned on the Talk:Sight hound page, that the article should be named Sighthound - you seemed to be in aggreement with him. Just to let you know, I have filed a page move request, and added a consensus section to the article so this can be discussed. Since you expressed support before, I moved your comment to the 'support' section, but you may wish to review that to ensure you actually agree, or at least sign it yourself so that it does not come from me. - Trysha (talk) 21:32, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
