Warnings: hahaha it is my drawings, so they are not safe for eyes. Other than that, nothing!
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.)
