Full review to follow, but the original review is probably the best option here. Spot check checks out however; QPQ is acknowledged even though it was not required. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 11:48, 8 August 2022 (UTC)
Giving this a tick since all other DYK requirements are met and no close paraphrasing was found. Since I can't access the source I'm accepting it in good faith. I prefer the original hook as I don't think mentioning the exact breed adds much to the hook, the hook fact is already fine in the simple form.
