Some breeds with very simple names are hardly known at all. I’m not sure your blog makes a lot of sense here. It’s neither good nor bad–it just is.

Did you know that the well-known breed of Jack Russell terrier is named for it’s breeder? And that the real name is actually Parson’s terrier because the guy was an English parson?

Well, you’ve got to define the differences some how. The breeder who developed the breed is the one who got to name it.

Yes, that’s just it. People who love the fine differences whether it’s in dogs or words love the names. Kind of like how women know the difference between lime green and chartreuse.
