When do you capitalize the word it in a title?
When to capitalize the word "it" in a title is somewhat confusing. One rule states that capital letters are used for the first word and every important word in a title. Another rule adds that short conjunctions and prepositions are generally not capitalized. A third source says to capitalize every word in a title except conjunctions, articles and short prepositions. But I haven't yet seen a capitalization rule that specifically refers to pronouns. The consensus, from the half dozen or so sources I consulted, seems to be that one should capitalize the word "it" in a title. But I generally do not consider "it" to be an "important" word in a title. Nevertheless, my recommendation is go with the flow and give "it" a capital "I."

Because it is a Proper Noun. ( This answer is WRONG: According to Merriam-Webster, dog breeds are common nouns, therefore golden retriever, beagle, collie and most others are lowercase, unless they have a proper noun in their title (e.g., Yorkshire terrier or German shepherd.)
All names of dog breeds should be capitalized because as stated above they are proper nouns. Word document goes by different rules. If a dog breed name has 2 separate names in it, then both should be capitalized such as "Labrador Retriever", "Golden Retriever", "Springer Spaniel", etc.
