grenzehund Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 Is there a scientific definition for "breed"? Or is it more a social construction? Thanks, Susan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grenzehund Posted September 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 well, never mind I think - I found a brief article on our host, the usbcc site seems to be a social construct... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaska Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 I've been thinking a lot about this question too. Other articles I found worth reading: Dog breed (Wikipedia) Dog type (Wikipedia) Landrace (Wikipedia) Purebred dog (Wikipedia) FWIW, much of what is on the pages above seems to have originated a few months ago from someone who goes by the name of "Hafwyn".

grenzehund Posted September 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 thanks - I had forgotten about "landrace" (first heard that from Penny T on these boards) - a very interesting paradigm... Susan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
