Justlettersandnumbers, I have just completed a rewrite then seen this message. It would be possible to split them, I have no objections the idea. The sources I have seen and used here treat them together, with a shared heritage and function, then state they are recognised separately based on coat type. I think split articles would be significantly shorter than this one and have a large amount of replicated text. Kind regards,

Cute doggy. The image review is usually the last thing I do, but this time I started with it, because it's a cute doggy. The image has a free license that I have no doubts over. Now to the article. The first thing I do there is run
DYK check, which in this case says its a fail. However, that's not final. DYK check gets tripped up by larger versions in the edit history that aren't relevant to the expansion at hand. In this case, looking at the diffs shows that the
preexpansion version was 744 bytes of prose, and the current version has 4,566, which is more than a 6.1x expansion. The article is above the minimum length. The article appears to be written neutrally, and there is
no likely copyvio. There are citations throughout the article, with at least one per paragraph (lead excepted). ALT0 is interesting enough and cited inline. ALT1 is cited inline and is interesting enough, but is over 200 characters, making it too long, and it's a bit of a runon sentence that makes it tough to follow. QPQ exempt as this is your first nomination. Good to go. –
