Markets?

What does "despite all the information aired by BBC, this particular breed can be seen today in the markets around Trinidad, Bolivia, northwest of Santa Cruz de la Sierra. And it is not uncommon there" mean? Apart from the poor English needing correction, is this saying that these rare animals are being sold (for food?) in local markets? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.197.15.138 (talk) 08:34, 11 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Double-nosed Andean tiger hound → Double-nosed Andean – WP:CONCISE. There's also a WP:CONSISTENCY problem here. WP's breed article naming pattern is "[Breed Name] [optional type/species]" with the lowercase part only present as a natural disambiguator when necessary. The two sources on this are in conflict, giving "Double-nosed Andean tiger hound" (Breed named followed by lower-case breed type/class), and "Double-nosed Andean Tiger Hound" (entire phrase implied to be a breed name). So, go with the short version by default since it is not ambiguous. — AReaderOutThataway ^t/_c 01:00, 7 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This is actually a potential WP:AFD candidate unless additional sources can be found. Two "gee whiz, a dog with two-noses!" entertainment articles are not proper sources, and there is no known breed registry or other "official" source, so it is highly dubious that this is a breed at all rather than a random face mutation that got a tiny bit of press because it looks weird. Another point of suspicion is, of course, that there are no tigers in the Andes for this to hunt, nor is it striped like a tiger. This may just be a made-up name The lead's opening sentence is also extremely suspicious, with "a rare breed of hound that has been seen in Bolivia". A breed, in Modern English, is not a wild animal that one might, with luck, spot in the jungle. It's a programmatically bred group of domestic animals with a published breed standard and pedigree record. Even the article's own text is skeptical this is a breed. What we're doing here is regurgitating urban (well, more rural) legend: a handful of "sightings" and two alleged photos, easy to fake. That is not proper encyclopedia writing. However, in the interim, the page name should at least conform to the rest of Category:Dog breeds. — AReaderOutThataway ^t/_c 01:00, 7 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
