Did You Know
A fact from this article appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the " Did you know?" column on January 15, 2011.
The text of the entry was: Did you know ... that a kindergarten student began a campaign which made the Alaskan Malamute (pictured) Alaska's state dog breed?

"List of"?

I notice that for most of the US state insignia, the article names start with "list of". Is there a reason why this one isn't "List of U.S. state dogs"? bibliomaniac 1 5 19:18, 25 August 2012 (UTC) reply

It originally was, but in the Featured List process it reached consensus on the current title. Miyagawa (talk) 20:43, 25 August 2012 (UTC) reply

Should non-breed classifications be distinguished from breeds with a separate section?

With three non-breed classifications, "adoptable dog" (Georgia), Seeing Eye Dog (New Jersey), and "working dog" (New York), should we make a separate section? BiologicalMe ( talk) 18:30, 9 February 2020 (UTC) reply

Yes, that sounds like a good idea. Reywas92 Talk 19:58, 11 February 2020 (UTC) reply
In a broader sense, should we expand this page to "pets", especially since the Colorado state pet was designated as an adoptable dog or cat? BiologicalMe ( talk) 20:01, 11 February 2020 (UTC) reply

Expand to pets?

List of U.S. state pets already redirects here.

Rather than a state breed, a number of states have designated shelter dogs and cats as state pet.

0. California (2015), maybe resolution, not law and not listed by state library
1. Colorado (2013)
2. Illinois (2017
3. Ohio (2019)
4. Tennessee (2014)

With the expanded scope, the three official state cat breeds (less than states including adoptable cats as official pets) could be brought over as a logical grouping. It would work of the outside chance that a state make hamsters or hippos the official pet. BiologicalMe ( talk) 16:21, 12 February 2020 (UTC) reply

Yeah, nice job finding these additional states! That would be a fair way to do it then so the cats don't have to be on the mammals page or to have duplication. This is a featured list so the lead would have to be slightly rewritten too but that works for sure. Reywas92 Talk 20:09, 12 February 2020 (UTC) reply

Map should be updated with Tennessee
