The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process (permalink).

Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time.

Miryang dog

Nothing on Google Books. One hit on Google Scholar. 98.170.164.88 22:37, 16 December 2022 (UTC)

Second journal article here [1] (full text not available for free but apparently contains "The breeds include the indigenous Korean breeds Jindo dog (30), Poongsan dog (20) and Miryang dog […] ") —Al-Muqanna المقنع (talk) 22:40, 16 December 2022 (UTC)

Another potential source is this paper which seems to be in Korean, but has an English translation of the abstract. 98.170.164.88 22:52, 16 December 2022 (UTC)

That excerpt is from the abstract of Cho (2005), the paper that's on Google Scholar. The text of Youn, Kim, Sohn (2001) is not freely available, but on the ResearchGate page there is no occurrence of the phrase "Miryang dog". Sometimes ResearchGate likes to include excerpts from related articles, which bleed into Google search results and cause confusion; that may be what happened here. 98.170.164.88 23:06, 16 December 2022 (UTC)

I realised this and reverted my comment but was too late (!). Striking it now. —Al-Muqanna المقنع (talk) 23:43, 16 December 2022 (UTC)

There are a number of different research papers that all mention the "Miryang dog", but they all include Cho as an author, so they are not independent. Miryang is one of the places where dogs are bred for eating, so I suspect that the "Miryang dog" is a breed raised for meat. Kiwima (talk) 03:10, 17 December 2022 (UTC)

The original definition:

1. A very rare subspecies of the wolf (Canis lupus familiaris), originating in South Korea.")

For those who don't recognize it, "Canis lupus familiaris" is the taxonomic name for the domestic dog- not exactly rare. The entry creator apparently saw this mentioned somewhere and jumped to the wrong conclusion. Chuck Entz (talk) 22:44, 16 December 2022 (UTC)

@Kiwima Please provide a URL for the quotation for the second sense. I haven't been able to track it down. 98.170.164.88 23:42, 16 December 2022 (UTC)

done. Kiwima (talk) 03:08, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
