[edit] Nomenclature
By "The naming of dogs is inconsistent and capricious." did you mean the naming of dog breeds or the registered-naming bit covered elsewhere? Elf | Talk 21:56, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- The naming of breeds. Quill 22:20, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
breeders in one country might cull out puppies that would be acceptable for show in another country - does "cull" have a special meaning in this context? To me as a general, non-specialist reader, the first meaning that comes to mind is "kill", and it needs to be made clear whether or not that's the actual meaning. 81.151.18.93 03:29, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
- No, 'cull' simply means 'cull'; it should be interpreted according to the standard dictionary definition: "to cull" is to select or to remove the culls from, culls being that which is inferior or worthless. Culling may include killing what is removed, but that is a step apart from the actual cull. Good comment Quill 23:46, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
