Which Breed Do You Think Saheiji Is?

Post by OreozFox »

I don't think his breed was ever outright stated. Which breed do you guys think he is?

Personally I think of him as an East Asian village dog.

I was trying to think what dog breed comes as solid brown but has pointy ears and the only one I could think of was Australian Kelpie... so maybe he is a Kelpie mix? Honestly I hadn't thought about his breed before I saw this board XD

I'm just going to be boring and assume he's some sort of Nihonken megamix, both because that seems to be Ginga's default answer for "unknown spitz dogs" and because his eyes in Weed's flashback look fairly Nihonken-like to me.

Image

Given his fluffiness (again, pre-paralysis) I'd guess he definitely has some Akita in him at least. But on the other hand he has a straight tail so he probably has a little bit of some non-Japanese breed in him, too.

So my final verdict: 99% Nihonken mix with smattering of some foreign breed as well.

This is similar to why I think East Asian village dog. They're kind of the default/most common strays in Japan and have native breed traits so I think Village dog suits him best!
