Guinness World Record?

The claim to a world record seems to be false; see [1]. I've edited the related text from Australian_Cattle_Dog#Lifespan into the article. (I also changed the text of the other citation to match its source's title.) --Jesdisciple (talk) 04:32, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The counter-claim that this is NOT a record is cited by just one author, who appears to be an author of popular works on animals such as monkeys. What does that have to do with dogs?69.15.219.71 (talk) 20:20, 30 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It should be noted that the Dog page specifically states that Bluey's record is not recognised, contradicting this page. David (talk) 12:17, 12 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

world record link can be found; see there [2] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Supai (talk • contribs) 15:24, 29 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Supai: thanks for bringing the issue to our attention. I changed the wording to reflect the evidence we currently have, and even added a source that also cast doubts about Bluey's age. But not until the Guiness World Record shows something else (e.g., that it based their claim in anecdotal sources), we can only state here what the GWR says algonside what others say. Those interested in pursuing this issue might want to contact the 1) GWR and 2) http://genomics.senescence.info/ (who also failed to cite sources for their claim against Bluey) for their records. Caballero/Historiador (talk) 18:06, 29 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The Dog article doesn't currently mention Bluey. A very recent article that confirms that Bluey's record still holds (as far as Guinness is concerned) is "Former world's oldest dog stripped of title". BBC News. 2024-02-22. Retrieved 2024-02-22.. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 00:50, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"Dazy Moo"

No matter how hard I tried, I can't find any information on "Dazy Moo". More so, the section doesn't expand at all on what "Dazy Moo" is. The only notable thing a google search of this reveals is a link to this Wikipedia article. I'm removing this and the section for popular culture unless I can get a source.

Bluey TV show

Requested move 26 February 2024

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: Moved to Bluey (long-lived dog) — Amakuru (talk) 12:47, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Bluey (dog) → Bluey (oldest dog) – Incomplete disambiguation with the children's TV character ... which unfortunately for disambiguation is also an Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler. There's precedent for this sort of descriptive title in Sam (ugly dog) (distinguished from Sam (army dog)). If Bobi (dog) poses an issue for the use of superlative, Bluey (29-year-old dog) works too. Other suggested titles welcome. Hameltion (talk | contribs) 20:41, 26 February 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. Otuọcha (talk) 07:41, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Either support, or just move to Bluey (dog, born 1910) or Bluey (dog, died 1939). After being moved, redirect Bluey (dog) to Bluey (2018 TV series)#Main, which is the target of Bluey Heeler. 176.33.244.31 (talk) 10:04, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Per MOS:REALWORLD, fiction should be written about from a real world perspective, and the Bluey cartoon character is a cartoon character, not a dog. For confused readers, the hatnote about the show is sufficient.--Esprit15d • talk • contribs 13:12, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
As far as I can tell, MOS:REALWORLD doesn't say anything about disambiguation (or the lack of it) between article titles about real-world and fictional topics. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 03:02, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support Bluey (Australian Cattle Dog) even if fictional the fictional one is proposed as primary for the base name. Crouch, Swale (talk) 20:39, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Well,
Comment I like the suggestion of Bluey (long-lived dog) as a natural phrasing too. Hameltion (talk | contribs) 04:17, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose – This move request is clearly connected to the discussion here that, in all likelihood, will not result in a move for the TV show as it hasn't in the past. This feels like throwing out concision for article disambiguations in favor of WP:RECENTISM. TheTechnician27 (Talk page) 06:05, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's still incomplete disambiguation... Google bluey dog and see how many non-Wikipedia hits are for this topic (few) vs the cartoon (most). Hameltion (talk | contribs) 15:44, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support Bluey (long-lived dog): This is not the most especially prominent or important dog discussed on Wikipedia named Bluey (in real life and fiction), especially not to a degree that would justify partial disambiguation. And as far as I can tell, MOS:REALWORLD doesn't say anything about disambiguation (or the lack of it) between article titles about real-world and fictional topics. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 17:39, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support Bluey (long-lived dog) or ~~Bluey (oldest dog)~~ or Bluey (29-year-old dog) or Bluey (dog, born 1910) per reasons listed above. Paintspot Infez (talk) 14:39, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not fond of "(oldest dog)", because it oversimplifies the reality. The claim is based on on Guinness, and Guinness is not unimpeachable. Even if Guinness was a very disciplined arbiter, it has to rely on record-keeping. The actual oldest dogs might not have records to prove that. Dogs are typically not given government-issued birth certificates or DNA identity checks, and don't have fingerprints. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 01:01, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Was Bluey a male or female?

I’ve seen some sources that refer to Bluey as “him” or “he” but this article states Bluey was a female, where does this come from? Thank you. TyjuX45 (talk) 03:00, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
