"Blenheim Spaniel" (and others): Incorrect breed name and missing variants

Open monsieurbaguette opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

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:

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).
