Hi, Afru, I've merged your article Breeding stock to Selective breeding, as a section. I invite you to expand on that article! Since we have seperate articles on dog, cat, horse and plant breeding, we could consider a seperate article on Pig breeding (if that is your particular interest.) Thanks, Marasmusine 11:51, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Sourcing

Re Central Asian Shepherd Dog, note that it's a fundamental policy of Misplaced Pages that material is cited to reliable published sources. See WP:V and WP:RS. Gordonofcartoon (talk) 12:52, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Thank you. I am a newbie to WIkipedia, and vast majority of sources are in Russian. Will do my best to clarify the issue. --Afru (talk) 16:48, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks also. Russian is fine as long as they're cited. Gordonofcartoon (talk) 17:33, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
