Summary: Okay this is... kind of. Kind of really silly! It's basically what happens when you work in a dog grooming salon and you have too much time to read the AKC book.

(Also, not colored, because I don't have my photoshops. :C )





le caniche


Originally used by hunters for retrieving water fowl, the Poodle later became popular with the aristocracy and as a circus dog. The Continental clip, worn by most show poodles, is actually said to have practical use for a water dog - the shaved areas allow for smoother movement through the water, and the pompoms protect the joints from the cold (although some would point to the circus as a more likely origin for the clip). Poodles come in three sizes (standard, miniature, and toy) and are considered the second most intelligent dog breed.



der deutscher shäferhund


A relatively new breed, the German Shepherd Dog was developed to... assist shepards in Germany (hours of research!!). They were bred for strength, obedience, and most of all intelligence, ranking as the third smartest dog breed. Some would also say they are one of the most aggressive dog breeds - but such aggression is generally the result of poor training by their masters.

(Germany's dog here is named Hasselhoff.)



il mastino napoletano


The Neapolitan Mastiff's ancestors fought in the Coliseum and alongside the Roman legions. In later years, they were used primarily as guard dogs, bred so that their looks alone would be enough to deter intruders. Like most Italians, they are extremely devoted to their families and enjoy frequent naps.



(I, um, very badly want to draw Canada with a Labrador Retriever.)

I love German Shapard, My family have one at home! XD

[adesso.livejournal.com]

Thank you!! :D

German Shepherds are awesome. They are just these big cuddlemonsters. ♥

So I'm thinking Japan with Akita next? I sort of wanna see the rest of the countries with their respective dogs. Who shall get the siberean husky?

[drunensis.livejournal.com]

*siberian


Aaargh! What is it with me and spelling today?

[bolshevists.livejournal.com]

Aren't Siberian huskies from Russia, initially?

[drunensis.livejournal.com]

They do. Can't process info. Holiday brain shutdown had already commenced.

[thisistony.livejournal.com]

What about a Shiba for Jpn?

[drunensis.livejournal.com]

That'll probably work better.

[hey-mayonegg.livejournal.com]

That's what I was thinking.

[degrees.livejournal.com]

For Russia I would go with a Russian wolfhound. Dog of the czars! Very Russia XD

[adesso.livejournal.com]

That was my thinking as well. :D (Although things got complicated for the breed after the revolution, because they were associated with the aristocracy and the Soviets were like CZARS BAD, CZARS' DOGS BAD TOO, hah.)

[adesso.livejournal.com]

My first thought for Japan was the Akita, but I'm torn between that and the Shiba Inu (I mean, they're kinda similar anyway, except that Shibas are teeny).

Mmm, I don't know about the Husky... they're from Siberia, obviously, but their personality doesn't seem to match up well with Hetalia's Russia. XD

[mithrigil.livejournal.com]

So cute!

Dogs look like their owners, indeed....

[adesso.livejournal.com]

Hee, well, a lot of poodles I've met have had very Francis-like personalities (snooty, but often very eager to molest you).

I'm so glad you liked these! (sfdlkj p.s., every time I go to comment on your fics I just can't think of anything to say that will do them justice. *FAIL*)

[thisistony.livejournal.com]

Russia can has cat?




Ahahaha, I love this line...
ssist shepards in Germany (hours of research!!).

askldjaklsdjkasjdas MASTIFFS. ♥ ♥ ♥

[aoi-tenshi.livejournal.com]

Oooooooou this is really cool and it looks neat :3 I can't wait to see more!!

[bolshevists.livejournal.com]

Oh my god, I love the German Shepherd. It's one of my favorite breeds, along with the Siberian Husky, Welsh Corgi, and Norwegian Elkhound. ♥

[pallasathene87.livejournal.com]

...that first picture totally reminds me of a scene from 101 Dalmatians (I think!) Only the snooty owner of the snooty poodle was a woman. GG Francis.

This is wonderful though~ Plz do more.

[sapphire-pyro.livejournal.com]

hetalia + dogs = FTW!

[synzunea.livejournal.com]

FRANCE LOOKS AWESOME. Oh, and German Shepherds. I have one at home and I'm... afraid of her. Wow.

I'm more of a cat person.

[blankoo.livejournal.com]

I <333 your style~ Especially the way you drew France <3 Good job.

[clefairies.livejournal.com]

Hmmm, I'd suggest you Shiba-inu for Japan.
I personally think one with a cream undercoat would match Kiku quite well.

And I absolutely adore German Shepherds, I'd love to have one. ♡

[kurifurinkan.livejournal.com]

Oh-oh my god. DOGS LOOKING LIKE THEIR OWNERS 100%. ♥ Ahaha I have two German Shepherds what am I saying about myself here orz

I, um, very badly want to draw Canada with a Labrador Retriever.
DO EET. PLEASE. *begs*

[t3nsa1.livejournal.com]

So cute!!! This was an excellent idea and you are doing it great!

[hey-mayonegg.livejournal.com]

I just keep picturing England with a Welsh Corgi.

Though this is probably because I am gay for corgis. So cute. ;3;

[kyo-starr.livejournal.com]

D'awww, German shepherd ♥ That was our first family dog, she constantly tried to herd us as kids :B
Hehee, I love the Mastiff.
Nice work!

[ermineax.livejournal.com]

The French one o.0 Cannot. Stop. Giggling xD These are awesome x3 The Neo in particular is absolutely adorable <3

Although, the poodle is actually from Germany, but is recognised as French because they were the ones to split it into different sizes, or something along those lines :P Which means that deep down, under all that glamour and p00fyness, is a very serious dog. No, really D=

In England, it was illegal for quite a while for anyone except the snooty upper class to own a Greyhound, hurhur. Later on, the Bull Terrier {when they had only slightly sloped heads xD} became known as a 'gentleman's pet'. Not thinking of anyone in particular here >>

[probing-grays.livejournal.com]

Awwww, so cute. I love the descriptions, too. xD Hours of research on that German shepherd one, eh?

[sakou-bielefelt.livejournal.com]

Awesome pics ^__^I love German Shepherds !! :D *rofl @ Hasselhoff* XD

oh yeah, you should totally draw Canada-tan with his dog :D Lab sounds good but, what about a Canadian Eskimo (ttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Eskimo_Dog) ?

Just a thought :P

[kawaiihoto.livejournal.com]

Great idea! I'm quite a dog person myself [I currently own 4 dogs ^^]

A scottish terrier for UK [eventhough they are scottish, they appear in a lot of british merchandise]. Could also be an English shepherd.

Chinese Crested for China, the ugly-ass dog XD

I'm thinking Golden Retriever for America, since they are popular, dumb and loveable, since Paris Hilton's 'rat' is a Chihuahua, native to the region of Chihuahua in northern Mexico.

[sangogrl41.livejournal.com]

Why not for China have the Chow-Chow cause there big ball of Fluff Fluff and he would love them!
