English Toy Spaniel, Phalene, and Brussels Griffon are not listed on the List of dog breeds page and apparently need to be there, at least w/cross-references to the breed name as it appears elsewhere on the list. See Sannse's spreadsheet--? Elf | Talk 01:36, 28 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Bravo to the person who updated the definition of "Teacup." It looks good now! AND CORRECT!
I have to disagree about the definition of "Teacup", as even though there are many faults to the teacup breeds, the bias of the writer is extremely obvious that these dogs should not be bred and/or bought. Neutrality is a serious issue in that section.
Is Neutrality considered an issue if everything they stated is completely correct? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.45.93.164 ( talk) 04:12, 29 October 2011 (UTC)
"Teacup" Should be removed all together. 90% Of all teacups are well within the written standard of the breed. Also being smaller than the standard does not make a dog a "runt" Runt refers to size at birth when compared to the rest of the litter and not all litter have them. The term "teacup" is a fallacy and if the section remains should point that fact out, nothing more. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.253.99.199 ( talk) 03:09, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

I notice that there are many countries whose lists of toy dog breeds are not mentioned. If most of this article is going to be wasted space devoted to pointless lists, I think many more should be added. Bob98133 ( talk) 13:51, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

Would something like this be useful? The lists of specific breeds are already nicely covered in Toy Group; should I try for something a little more comprehensive? -- Marius the Wanderer ( talk) 02:02, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

"The Yorkie is one of the most popular of the toy breeds; unfortunately some breeders try to reduce the size of this breed, which results in unhealthy individuals." This is a generalization and should be removed or at the very least—cited with proof.
Someone seems to have an agenda regarding this dog breed: "The very smallest toy dogs are sometimes called "teacup" size, although no major dog registry recognizes that term.[citation needed] Most dogs labeled "teacup" dogs are simply undersized dogs (usually runts). The name is often applied to small dogs by unscrupulous breeders in order to make more money off of the dog by making it seem special. Dogs bred to be "teacups" often have many health problems associated with them.[12][13]"

Redundant WP:CONTENTFORK, maybe even a WP:POVFORK. We already merged a bunch of these pointless overlapping articles over the last two years; not sure why this one was left out.
