	@yankeessuck - it's spelled "puli"

	ironsij0287:	Jul 17th, 2009 at 17:53 GMT	4 points
	"pbgv" should be an acceptable answer for Petit Basset Griffon Vendéen. The acronym is a fairly common usage for that breed.

	fatbeard:	Jul 17th, 2009 at 18:05 GMT	18 points
	Surely there must be some negotiation possible between accepting nicknames and requiring the entirety of the breed's official name?

	Also if you have to type like adjectives like terrier and stuff there should be a LITTLE more time...

	y2jdilemma:	Jul 17th, 2009 at 18:41 GMT	7 points
	I agree, there needs to be a little more leeway in whats accepted. I should not have to type terrier every single time...among others...Spitz for Finnish Spitz, Bouvier for Bouvier des Flandres..etc etc etc

	cmkeller:	Jul 17th, 2009 at 18:52 GMT	23 points
	So many of these need to be more flexible. Sheepdog or English Sheepdog should have worked without the "Old"...Malamute should have been enough without "Alaskan", Shar Pei without "Chinese"...I got about 30, but there were quite a few more breeds I knew, but didn't know had such precise names.

	I probably could have gotten 150 of these when I was going through my "dog phase" when I was in third grade. I think more time would be acceptable.

	I typed Old English Sheep Dog and Bull Dog and it didn't take them. That seems harsh. Sheep Dog, sheepdog, who cares?

	I guess the AKC wouldn't accept weiner dog. But two paws up for this quiz!

	karinaedge:	Jul 17th, 2009 at 21:57 GMT	10 points
	definitely not enough time!

	deej:	Jul 17th, 2009 at 22:41 GMT	7 points
	i am going on a hunger strike until they add Jack Russell Terrier!

	maniacalclown:	Jul 17th, 2009 at 22:50 GMT	3 points
	Bonus answers on this one are what the AKC calls "Miscellaneous Class Breeds," although the Finnish Lapphund is conspicuously absent.

	I'm quite proud of myself for knowing how to spell Petit Basset Griffon Vendéen.

	schmoozyduh:	Jul 18th, 2009 at 06:21 GMT	-3 points
	Viszla is an AKC breed missing from this list. Shame shame.

	chikka2:	Jul 18th, 2009 at 10:02 GMT	0 points
	The Brussels Griffon is the adorable dog in "As Good as It Gets"...now I am determined to play this quiz till I get 'em all

	marmalade:	Jul 18th, 2009 at 16:14 GMT	-2 points
	Only about 14% got weimeraners. :(

	Buzza:	Jul 18th, 2009 at 22:24 GMT	6 points
	schmoozyduh: I think Viszla was actually on there. Marmalade: That's because nobody can spell weimaraner :)

	k3lit0:	Jul 19th, 2009 at 00:35 GMT	2 points
	So many annoying comments lately. Sporcle must be getting popular, I guess. This quiz is ok but it felt like a lot of dogs were missing- I guess they aren't recognised. Like, Jack Russell Terrier for example. I only got 36 but I gave up early and have trouble spelling most of them! :P

	MissBones:	Jul 19th, 2009 at 05:01 GMT	5 points
	A couple of people have mentioned that the Jack Russell Terrier isn't listed. Isn't the official name of the Jack Russell the Parson Russell Terrier?

	YourMom:	Jul 20th, 2009 at 15:15 GMT	6 points
	@schmoozyduh: It's Vizsla.

	Przewalski:	Jul 23rd, 2009 at 14:56 GMT	9 points
	The AKC changed the Jack Russell Terrier's name to Parson Russell Terrier a few years back. I thought this was a fun quiz, and I like that putting in the entire, correct name is required, makes it more challenging. The Old English Sheepdog, Labrador Retriever, Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen, etc, etc, are the official names in the AKC, so naturally that's what should be put down. But I agree that there should be more time for this one. I got about 95 breeds down, then time ran out on me.

	Where's Marmaduke?! ;)

	triviahappy:	Aug 20th, 2009 at 16:37 GMT	5 points
	Please, please, please give more time. Even if one is typing constantly, it's too much to fit in 12 minutes. If you don't want to give more time, please consider abbreviations like Yorkie or Scottie. Or don't make it mandatory to type "terrier" after all 25+ terriers, etc. Most of these dogs have two or more words in their name. I always run out of time while I still am thinking of lots of breeds. I really want to try and get them all.

	GIVE US MORE TIME!!!!!!!

	icing:	Oct 15th, 2009 at 23:47 GMT	-1 points
	Overall - loved the quiz. As with others, could have used much more time. Got a bit frustrated at the requirement of "Cardigan" or "Pembroke" before Welsh Corgi and "White" West Highland Terrier, since I got the common names, but not the specifics. No Jack Russell, but a "Parson" Russell, no English Bulldog? I understand that the a.k.c. wants to raise awareness, but we're not all breeders, and could use a little wiggle room.

	If you expect us to type out the full breed name of each dog then this quiz should be at least 20 minutes. I bet it took longer than 12 minutes for you to make the list.

	1:10 left! yeah i feel so accomplished

	kgc:	Feb 22nd, 2010 at 15:20 GMT	0 points
	bull dog is not accepted...

	dunchetta:	Feb 28th, 2010 at 16:00 GMT	1 point
	Need to add Finnish Lapphund, American English Coonhound, and Russell Terrier to the bonus answers. They are accepted miscellaneous breeds by the AKC. Though props to anyone who can correctly spell Xoloitzcuintli!
