What are you talking about? A dominant chord is built on the fifth degree of the major scale. And there is not necessarily a fifth in the chord.

I don't know where you came up with the major or minor 5th thing, no one said anything about that...

Edit: I see what you're referring to, your previous post. Most chords DO have a fifth in it, that doesn't mean that it has to be explicitly stated in the chord name. The reason we name chords maj7ths and such is to determine certain extension properteies. I.E. a flat, or regular 7th, a flat or regular third, etc.
