  • Article is new enough, of decent length, and within policy. The hook is a bit long, and as person fluent in both English and Portuguese, I question the article's name being untranslated into English on this version of Wikipedia—Why not Transmontano Mastiff as the article name? For a hook, how about, ALT2: ... that the Cão de Gado Transmontano is a giant dog breed that protects livestock from the Iberian wolf? Morganfitzp (talk) 16:35, 2 March 2017 (UTC)

I did not create the article, and am not personally invested in having the Portuguese name -- although this is almost exclusively a Portuguese breed, both in origin and in practice. So I can understand those who might think otherwise. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 16:48, 2 March 2017 (UTC)

Yes, that's more of an issue for the article's talk page. The name does affect the DYK hook. Morganfitzp (talk) 16:59, 2 March 2017 (UTC)
