The result was no consensus. Arguments are all over the map, with substantial sentiment behind any of keep, redirect, merge, or delete. The main item of disagreement here is whether being a "recognized" breed is a requirement for having an article. I don't see any killer arguments either way, nor am I aware of any WP:NDOGBREEDS that might give me guidance on that.
The article as it currently stands is woefully lacking in WP:RS, and has been tagged as such for three years. Normally, a lack of sources would mean an automatic deletion for failing WP:V, but there are enough sources presented here in the AfD text, that WP:V is clearly satisfied. So, we're back to there being no consensus about meeting WP:N.
Given the volume of discussion here, and the amount of time this has been going on (I came here from WP:AN/RFC), I don't see how further discussion is going to lead to a consensus. Apologies to Randykitty for stepping on their recent relist. Likewise, I'd encourage people thinking of re-nominating this per WP:RENOM, to instead work with your fellow editors on the talk pages to either find better sourcing or work towards a consensus for one of the possible merges mentioned in the discussion. -- RoySmith (talk) 15:18, 22 August 2019 (UTC)
