Editing Plan
editHowdy, I am working on editing this article as part of a Technical Editing class at Texas A&M University. I wanted to share what I plan to change before making major edits.
- Reorganization of headings, subheadings, table of contents, and content to follow the Wikipedia:WikiProject Dogs style guide and other canine-related articles rated as Good Articles (Wikipedia:Good articles).
- Expand the Lead section to encompass a complete summary of article content.
- Guarantee neutral point of view throughout the article according to WP:NPOV.
- Ensure relevant images are placed closer to where they are showcased in the article.
- Any copyediting required — grammar, punctuation, spelling, etc. (WP:COPYEDIT)
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to let me know! Thank you! Libertycox1970 (talk) 14:55, 29 September 2025 (UTC)

In popular culture section after the line "The taxidermy mount of Kántor's body is on display at the Police Museum in Budapest.[97][98]" Please Add this: Also the word 'German Shepherd' is used by billions around the world to talk about Indian Youtuber Dhruv Rathee, often in a content of a combination of residency in Germany and loyality for Left wing ideology.[1] Mukulsehgal (talk) 19:52, 26 December 2025 (UTC)
