** Major registries that refuse to recognize a breed recognized by most others, e.g.: "Not recognized by [{{var|linked acronym of conservative registry here}}]."
 
***Briefly mentioning classification issues, e.g.: "Classified as just a variant of the [{{var|other breed named and linked here}}] by [{{var|linked acronym of conservative registry here}}]."
 
***Showing unusual status limitations, e.g.: "Not eligible for championship status in {{var|linked acronym of conservative registry here}}] shows."
 
***For landraces and other non-breed populations, can indicate what they are, e.g.: "[[Landrace]].", or "[[Feral dog]] population.", or "[[Crossbreed]], with provisional recognition as a breed in one major registry."
 
:'''This parameter is not for breed-specific or local/regional clubs.'''
 
 
 
;Special parameters:
 
There are two special parameters that can be used in place of those relating to breed standards, above:
 
 
*'''<code>extinct=yes</code>''': Shows an "[[Extinction|Extinct]]" message. This parameter should be removed if not used.
 
*'''<code>extinct=yes</code>''': Shows an "[[Extinction|Extinct]]" message. This parameter should be removed if not used.
*'''<code>notrecognized=yes</code>''' or '''<code>notrecogni<u>s</u>ed=yes</code>''': Shows a "Not recognized by any major kennel club." message. The {{para|notrecogni'''s'''ed|y}} version outputs the British Commonwealth English ''-ised'' spelling.  This parameter (under either spelling) should be removed if a breed-standard parameter, above, is used. Also, if both spellings are accidentally included, the Commonwealth spelling will be used. Both {{para|unrecognized}} and {{para|unrecognised}} can also be used.
 
If a "notrecogni[s|z]ed" or "extinct" parameter is used, all URL fields should be removed. (A link to a {{em|former}} breed recognition document should be added as a regular source citation). '''This parameter should be used for:''' any breed, crossbreed, alleged breed, landrace, type, group, feral population, etc., for which no major international or national all-breeds organization publishes a breed standard.  Breed specific clubs, local/regional clubs, and ARBA {{see below|{{section link||Registries not included}}}} do not count.
 
 
Another special parameter is for cross-subspecies [[Hybrid (biology)|hybrids]] (not [[crossbreed]]s between two domestic breeds with no recent wild ancestor):
 
*{{anchor|x}}'''<code>x</code>''': The value of the parameter is the wikilinked binomial or trinomial (scientific name) – [[WP:PIPE|piped]] with ''Canis lupus'' abbreviated as ''C. l.'' for other gray wolf subspecies, and ''Canis'' abbreviated ''C.'' for other canine species – of the non-domestic canine to which domestics have been bred to produce the hybrid.  It will be italicized for you.  E.g., a value of "<code>|x=<nowiki>[[Canis lupus lupus|C. l. lupus]]</nowiki></code>" outputs a result of "[[Canid hybrid]], ''<span class="hybrid">[[Canis lupus familiaris]] × [[Canis lupus lupus|C. l. lupus]]</span>''" at the bottom of the infobox, instead of "[[Domestic dog]], ''<span class="trinomial">Canis lupus familiaris</span>''".  In the off-chance of an interspecific hybrid, don't abbreviate whatever species in there in place of ''lupus''.
 
 
Two special parameters are for non-breed types:
 
*'''<code>landrace=yes</code>''' (a.k.a. '''<code>cross=yes</code>''' or '''<code>var=yes</code>'''): indicates that the article subject is a [[landrace]], [[crossbreed]], sub-breed or variation, [[mongrel]]ized population, [[Free-ranging dog|feral population]], general type, domestic × wild hybrid, or other classification of dog that is not a standardized breed. This parameter should not be used with any parameters for breed standards, except when the article is about both a landrace and a breed, or a crossbreed is gaining limited recognition as a standardized breed. {{Crossref|selfref=no|(See also the {{para|note}} parameter, for specifying what the non-breed actually is.)}} This parameter changes "breed" wording to "variety", and may be used for other more sophisticated processing with later template development.
 
*'''<code>trinomial=</code>''': Replaces <code><nowiki>''Canis lupus familiaris''</nowiki></code> with custom text, and changes <code>[[Domestic dog]]</code> to <code>Dog</code>. Italics and wikilinks must be done manually in the supplied parameter value. The only present use-case for this is at [[Indian pariah dog]], which has disputed taxonomy.  (For entirely wild populations like the [[Australian dingo]], use {{tlx|Taxobox}}, not {{tnull|Infobox dog breed}}.) This parameter should not be used with {{para|x}}. If in the future we need to indicate a dingo-and-something-else hybrid that is actually treated as a dog breed, we can use {{para|trinomial}} for this, or change the template.
 
 
=== Usage notes ===
 
* '''<code>name</code> is required'''; all other variables are optional (though links to breed standards are required to use the template segments for the breed standards).
 
* All variables for each kennel club should be included if any are used at all (for example, <code>akcgroup</code> and <code>akcstd</code>). If a value is not available, set it to blanks.
 
* If the breed is not recognized by any major kennel club, include the <code>notrecognized</code> (or <code>notrecognised</code>) variable and set it to <code>yes</code> (actually, any value will work). If a breed has somehow become notable but is only recognized with a standard by a minor registry, the <code>otherstd</code> parameter can be used to note what it is and link to it, in lieu of using <code>notregoanized</code>  If there is "recognition" by some organization that does not publish a standard, note this in the <code>note</code> parameter and also continue to use <code>notrecogni[z|s]ed</code>
 
* If the breed is a part of the AKC's foundation stock service, include the <code>akcfss</code> variable and set it to <code>yes</code> (or <code>y</code> or whatever)
 
* If you want to specify multiple entries for the <code>altname</code> or <code>nickname</code> variables, these must be on one line, though may have <code>{{nowrap|,&lt;br /&gt;}}</code> separating them if there are more than will fit on one line in the infobox.
 
* The HTML comments at the beginning and end don't affect the appearance of the table but please always include them to help newcomers understand what's going on when they edit the page.
 
 
== Registries not included ==
 
Various obscure, localized, or questionably appropriate (e.g. for-profit and promotional) registries do have custom parameters; if really needed, their standards can be added with the <code>otherstd</code> parameter, as documented above.  Be suspicious of anything with a global- or national-sounding name that didn't exist 10 years ago, doesn't have a professionally designed website, and looks like a one-person operation, with no [[WP:Notability]] even in the specialist press.  Search for things like "fake purebred registry" and read the warning posts. Beware being tricked into promoting a made-up "new breed" that the real world does not accept as legitimate. There is real money in this, thus an incentive for those trying to establish a breed to misuse Wikipedia as a form of advertising and legitimacy-establishment for "backyard breeder" experiments.  There is a truly massive problem in dog breeding in particular.
 
 
* '''[[American Rare Breeds Association]] (ARBA)''': Includes many experimental breeds that may not be found in other registries yet if ever. ARBA treats virtually any crossbreed as a legitimate "rare breed" if someone has bred it to itself and formed a club about it. ARBA is not necessarily reliable on what is a breed or not, and may have a [[WP:INDY]] problems, not unlike one of the major horse "breed" encyclopedias that accepts iffy, promotional entries, and the for-profit CatZ Inc. registry with strong ties to the breeders of the cat varieties it is promoting as standardized.  However, it is usable at least in the body of the article as a source that the claimed breed is not a hoax.
 
 
* '''Some legit organizations may not produce breed standards''', but rely on AKC, etc., for them:
 
** All American Dog Registry (AADR) – May only be a pedigree registry without breed standards.
 
** [American] [[Field Dog Stud Book]] (FDSB or AFDSB, estd. 1874) of the American Field Sporting Dog Association (AFSDA, and its American Field Publishing Company, AFPC; collectively "American Field" for short) – The oldest purebred dog registry in the US. FDSB registers a few sporting breeds that are not recognized by the AKC, though this is not necessarily a red flag. American Field does not publish breed standards, but relies upon breed-specific clubs for this (e.g. the American Brittany Club, etc.), which are usually AKC-registered, and supply AKC's standard. The issue that can come up is when American Field accepts registrations for a breed that is not AKC, CKC, etc. Given FDSB's history as a reliable source, there doesn't seem to be a reason for WP to not consider them a legitimate "recognizer" of breeds, so they should probably at least be a legitimate org to use in <code>otherstd</code>.
 
** American Dog Breeder's Association (ADBA) – A breeder trade association; said to be a good place to ask whether an alleged breed registry is legit, or a puppy-mill front. Seems to also be a pedigree registry, but may not define any breed standards.
 
** North American Versatile Hunting Dog Association Registry (NAVHDA, estd. 1969); is only a pedigree registry, and publishes no breed standards.
 
** North American Purebred Registry, Inc. (NAPR, est. 1995) – at least some commenters on breeder forums consider them reputable; however, others do not [https://bluepembrokewelshcorgis.wordpress.com/registries-the-real-and-the-fake/]: "registers any dog for $12". May only be a pedigree registry without breed standards, anyway.
 
 
* '''{{vanchor|No-name and puppy-mill registries}}''': Others that do not have a parameter are the following "no-name" pseudo-registries used by [[puppy mill]]s, and listed in various online warnings ([http://www.dogforums.com/general-dog-forum/33171-dog-registries-legit-bogus.html], [http://locusthillpugs.net/Buyer%20Beware.htm], [https://web.archive.org/web/20120205223513/http://winddreamer.net/labfiles/alternative_dog_registries.html], etc.), including:
 
{{collapse top|left=y|width=97%|bg=LightGray|title=Long list ...}}
 
*In alphabetical order:
 
** Academic Kennel Records (AKR)
 
** All American Premier Breeds Association (AAPBA)
 
** American Canine Association (ACA)
 
** American National Dog Registry (ANDR)

:As one of the above-linked warning sites put it: "Please remember, if someone is using these other registries, normally there is a reason they are no longer with AKC." [Or, by extension, with another major national or international registry. The post was about US-based puppy mills.]
 
 
* '''The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA)''': They actually have a "commercial breeding farms" (large-scale puppy mill) registration system, said to be the source of the dogs in most American pet stores.  USDA does not establish breed standards, anyway.
 
 
* '''[[Federation Cynologique Internationale]] affiliates''' in various countries: These are where the FCI standards come from; it would be completely redundant to create standards parameters for the individual national and breed-specific clubs. Just use the FCI parameter.
 
 
* '''"Designer" crossbreed clubs''': These are just crossbreeder promotional organizations, and lack independence from the subject, but may be useful to provide links to their showing standards, if any, with <code>otherstd</code> in articles on notable crossbreeds. They won't actually help as sources for establishing notability, and are not reliable sources for temperament and other claims made about the crosses, because of their promotional nature. Examples include: American Canine Hybrid Club (ACHC), International Designer Canine Registry (IDCR, a.k.a. Designer Canine Registry, DCR), and Designer Dogs Kennel Club (DDKC).
 
 
* '''Missing national registries?''' There may be some national-level (or even multinationally regional), non-FCI registries of note that could be added, that are missing here because of lack of English-language material about them.
 
 
* '''Questionable/unknown''': "Rarities, Inc.", mentioned at some articles on crossbreeds that are being [[WP:SOAPBOX|aggressively promoted]] as "new breeds"; National Canine Association (NCA), same story.

;Special parameter:
There is a [[WP:SANDBOX|development sandbox]] version of this template at [[Template:Infobox dog breed/sandbox]], and several transclusions of it at [[Template:Infobox dog breed/testcases]]. Please copy the code from the current version of the template, paste it into the sandbox page, and test any changes on that copy before making them here: there are several special cases which are easily overlooked, and this template is easily "broken".

*'''<code>trinomial=</code>''': Replaces [[domestic dog]] with custom text. Italics and wikilinks must be done manually in the supplied parameter value. Entirely wild populations like the [[Australian dingo]], use {{tlx|Taxobox}}, not {{tnull|Infobox dog breed}}. This parameter should not be used with {{para|x}}. If in the future we need to indicate a dingo-and-something-else hybrid that is actually treated as a dog breed, we can use {{para|trinomial}} for this, or change the template.

  • image_caption: A caption that describes the image.
