"Blenheim Spaniel" (and others): Incorrect breed name and missing variants
The correct name for the breed labeled as Blenheim Spaniels in the API is Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. Given that this wouldn't conform to the breed-subbreed standard, it would be a suitable name if there weren't multiple variants of the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.
The variants are:
Ruby
Tri-color
Blenheim
Black and Tan
A similar issue is present with the golden retriever, but the coat variations in goldens generally don't count as a "type" of that breed. The main issue with the Cavaliers is that the breed name in the API is a variant of the breed, and it only encompasses a quarter of the breed. Additionally, there are some minor issues (e.g. Shiba Inu being shortened to Shiba, as well as other odd directory names for breeds) that make developing consumer-friendly applications using this API unnecessarily tedious (it isn't bad to the point where using the API is impractical, but improving it would definitely help myself and others quite a bit when using the API).
