Assuming there's another end, I would say that Dog1 is a valid end of a
folded dogbone. If you unfold the loop, it's just a dogbone where the
double track comes out of the center of the loop instead of at one edge.
Of course like Larry says, the technical name for your track arrangement
is much less interesting than actually getting a good track arrangement.
