How It’s Done

The classic recipe for inventing a breed is:

 ☑️ Name a place or country (remote or obscure is best)

 ☑️ Add a claim of odd or specialized work, preferably one no longer common.

 ☑️ Add the name of royalty, a famous person or group, or perhaps a war or battle. 

And what's the recipe for ruining a breed? 

Simple: Take the just-invented breed name very seriously, write a narrow standard (preferably one with demands for extreme exaggeration), and close the registry with a breed pool of less than 100 dogs.
