I came to this page and was surprised to find the Pug in the list. I have searched various sites and cant find any history on the pug being anything other than a companion dog. Can anyone varify its existance in this list? Tekana 21:01, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

WC: Please familiarize yourself a bit more with all of the articles and categories in the dog world at Wikipedia. You'll notice that Category:Dog breeds clearly states to see "Category:Dog types for groups of breeds such as collies, fox terriers, working dogs, hounds, and so on." You'll also notice that all of these types--for example, water dog, hunting dog, herding dog, and so on--also include lists of applicable breeds but do not appear under Catg:Dog breeds. And similarly category:Terriers is a member of dog types, not of dog breeds. That's because all of these articles &c atgs, just like the fighting dogs list and the fighting dogs catg, are about certain types or groups of dogs, not about a specific breed. I'm again removing catg:dog breeds to make it consistent with all other similar types of articles. Elf | Talk 23:23, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

Why are Manchesters up here? I have never found anything on this breed to indicate that they were ever used as fighting dogs. Ratters, even competitive ratters, and racers, yes, but not pit fighting dogs. The Manchester page does not indicate that, either. Unless I read the title of the category wrong and this category is for all dogs used in blood sports, then I don't think they should be in here.
Boxers were most definitely used as fighting dogs...as a matter of fact they are still used today!! So, why does someone keep deleting this when I put it up?? Read everything about Boxers and you for sure will find out that Boxers used to be fighting dogs! Please leave it up! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.61.107.176 ( talk) 03:37, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
It seems like anyone can just add dog breeds here not even as original research so much as personal whim. Aren't there some guidelines, and do we really need this category in the first place? Wikidgood ( talk) 23:47, 29 October 2014 (UTC)
