[edit] Goals
The goals of this project are to create, expand, and maintain articles related to Canidae and Dogs in general, and bring as many as we can up to either good article or featured article standard. To do this, we are developing a variety of departments, including:
[edit] Featured article review
- Mixed-breed dog is currently in featured article review. If you can help to improve the article to address the deficiencies currently being found, please do so.
[edit] Requested articles
Several red links exist in dog related articles, and there are also several other pages which have been requested to be created. They can be found at Wikipedia:WikiProject Dogs/Requested articles.
[edit] Stubs
Stub dog articles can be found here.
[edit] Scope
The scope of this project is those articles contained in the Category:Canines, and any other articles which directly pertain to dogs.

[edit] Sister project
Wikipedia:WikiProject_Dog_breeds has several years of intense activity recorded in various talk pages and subpages, originally intended for ensuring that all dog breed articles are consistent, but in fact has served the purpose of project:dogs for most of that time. Refer there specifically for details about breed articles and also for history of policies and decisions on dog-related articles in general.
Therefore, this project should cover articles outside the dog breed project scope.
[edit] Recognized content
We want to make sure that everyone knows the Portal:Dogs is now officially recognized as a Featured portal. Thanks to Rfrisbie for his wonderful work, and let's all work to improve our articles to keep this portal one of the best in Wikipedia.
