#appenzeller sennenhund

[ghosts-and-glory]

I bring on this day, another batch of ten dogs.

I’m almost through the A breeds, there’s three left, I can sense, progress.

I’ve missed three days so far in these first 20. I try and not skip too often but my main goal really is to also not burn myself out and get through them all.

Appenzeller Sennenhund

The Appenzeller Sennenhund is a medium-sized herding breed that is tri-color and almost squarely built and balanced. He is muscular and agile and makes a good driving, watch, guard, house, or farm dog. Due to their versatility and willingness, they excel in agility, obedience, herding, and search and rescue.

The Appenzeller Sennenhund is one of the four Swiss Sennen type breeds and is also known as the Appenzeller Mountain Dog or Appenzell Cattle Dog. He is lively, high-spirited, self-assured, reliable, and fearless. Slightly suspicious of strangers, he is a good watchdog who cannot be bribed. The breed's intelligence make them highly capable learners. Due to his personality and exercise needs, he is ill-suited to apartment living (source)

I have a question!

Is this guy

An appenzeller sennenhunde?

Those guys look like this

[ashclouds366]

hi boba i have three important questions. and as the Certified Ninjago Expert Friend, you shall receive them. a. if the ninjago characters were dogs, would it be called nindogo? and b. has someone already made that pun? i searched it online and couldn't find anything. and lastly, c. what types of dogs would they be? (i think nya would be a newfoundland dog. they're beautiful water rescue dogs. look:

(also fun fact about me, my first special interest was dogs and dog breeds)

(a second fun fact about me is that i actually thought of that pun about a week ago, but waited to tell you until after i googled it because i didn't want to accidentally plagiarize a silly pun about lego dogs.)

(and a third fun fact about me is that i hope you are having an excellent day!! <3)

all excellent questions, my friend!

a. yes, nindogo would be an appropriate and adorable name for a dog ninjago world

b. no, i have never heard that pun before. i don't think enough people draw their favorite characters as animals. i would myself, except i suck at drawing animals

c. i actually did a little bit of research for this as well, so here you go :)

disclaimer: the following are "usual" characteristics of dog breeds from my limited research

cole: st bernard

strong, steady-tempered, good-natured, needs lots of exercise, issues with loneliness

"saint bernards are known as gentle giants. They are incredibly loyal to and loving with their family. and their general love of people, eagerness to please, and determination to work have made them proficient search-and-rescue and service dogs"

jay: jack russel terrier

playful, spunky, vocal, clownish, athletic, energetic, very intelligent, alert

"too little exercise, too little companionship, and too little mental stimulation will quickly lead to boredom, which will in turn lead to destructive behaviors"

zane: sheltie (shetland sheepdog)

agile, intelligent, sensitive, peaceful and polite, extremely energetic, needs lots of mental stimulation

"shelties generally have a bright and alert temperament. they tend to be quite in tune with their surroundings. a high energy level and love of play also help to shape their personality. they enjoy being active with their family but can be wary of strangers"

kai: appenzeller sennenhund

powerful, athletic, loves attention, steady and dependable, vigilant

"the appenzeller sennenhund generally has a lively and alert temperament. it typically bonds closely with its family, though it can be somewhat wary of strangers"

nya: newfoundland

dignified, love water, independent streak, can become destructive if left alone too much

"the newfoundland is a giant dog breed with a hard-working and gentle disposition. often called the newfie, the breed is intelligent, sweet, and very loyal. they make for affectionate companions, and they naturally take to work in water rescue and other jobs. these dogs were bred for life on the water with a thick coat to insulate them and webbed paws for swimming"

lloyd: beagle

energetic, optimistic, friendly, hunters, explorers, "selective deafness", stubborn, distractible, independent

i hope those all match up nicely, you know more about dogs than i do :) this was fun to look into

i hope you have a lovely day! <3

pit babe daemons

I'm physically incapable of being in a fandom without making a daemon au. I'm not exactly actively writing this, but I couldn't stop thinking about it so here we are. (also it's always a fun test of my willpower to not give everyone a bird. 2/13 I am a master of restraint.)

(warning for spiders and snakes just in case!)

Babe:

beautiful pit viper (trimeresurus venustus) (I couldn't resist). like most snakes, scary on the outside and a sweetheart underneath. not the most aggressive but strikes fast with a venomous bite. also imagine Babe in his tank top with a snake draped over his neck. exactly.

charlie:

Appenzeller Sennenhund. cheerful, energetic, smart. fearless when it comes to protecting their family. very loyal! of course puppy Charlie has a dog daemon.

Way:

eastern barn owl (Tyto javanica stertens). fiercely territorial, secretive. incredible hunter. intelligent! also in folklore owls are either good (symbol of wisdom) or bad (omen of death and doom to come) which speaks to the dichotomy of Way.

Pete:

spotted-winged fruit bat (Balionycteris maculata). tends to be solitary. not a predator. they don’t echolocate but find food using keen sense of smell and eyesight, and they have an unusual dental formation compared to other fruit bats. (<- I can't explain why that is Pete to me but trust me.) smallest of the megabats but still a megabat which I think reflects the corporate side of things nicely.

Kenta:

cocker spaniel. loyal loyal loyal. easily trained. meant for hunting. good with kids lol. also in HDM servants tended to have dog daemons. LOYAL.

Kim:

siberian weasel (Mustela sibirica). intrepid and intelligent. sociable when it suits. will fight you and likely bite you. look at that little lady and tell me that's not Kim.

North:

dhole (Cuon alpinus). highly sociable and adaptive. noisy (likes to chat) but also uses complex body language.  dholes don't engage in dominance displays and aren't super territorial, which I think reflects North's easy-going nature.

Sonic:

blue crested lizard (Calotes mystaceus). colourful! not very dangerous but still has teeth and claws. quick and crafty. I originally thought butterfly for Sonic but he needed something more substantial. also she definitely hitches a ride on North's daemon all the time.

Dean:

tiger shrike (Lanius tigrinus). solitary, shy and predatory. shrikes kill by impaling their prey on the nearest pointy object, which I think mirrors the way Dean went for the hammer well. also not a particularly flashy bird. (but still beautiful in the way all birds are beautiful!!)

Winner:

electric blue tarantula (Chilobrachys natanicharum). opportunistic, defensive, kind of a show-off. will ‘hiss’ when provoked. but not the most dangerous spider around. also I think Winner deserves a little blue in his life.

Alan:

banded linsang (Prionodon linsang) male daemon - low sexual dimorphism in this species so not everyone notices but it’s just something else that pings a little odd about alan. generally solitary and not well-known. a predator still.

Jeff:

veined labyrinth butterfy (Neope pulaha). clever, excellent vision, weak fliers. Jeff is a mystery to most, hence labyrinth. I think Jeff is served well by a daemon that can be easily hidden and/or overlooked.

+ bonus Tony:

giant hawker dragonfly (Tetracanthagyna plagiata). dragonflies are the world’s most efficient predator. but at the end of the day it’s just an insect. as with Jeff, it suits Tony to have a hidden daemon.

Top five dog breeds?

THE SIDEBLOG HAS BREACHED CONTAINMENT, EVERYBODY GET DOWN.

My top five dogs are moreso based on vibes than actual breed personalities and traits, and I'm pretty sure I'm allergic to every dog on this list, but I still stare at internet pictures of them and Wish and Long and Want. In no particular order:

1. Bermese Mountain Dogs

Good puppers! They are shaped like friends.

2. Appenzeller Sennenhunds

My swiss heritage calls me to these hard working doggos. They remind me of accountants. But with widdle paws and the biggest eyes and joy still present in their visage.

3. Borzois

They are agents of the fae and no one can convince me otherwise.

4. Golden Retrievers

Dogs with a capital D. The ultimate canines. The Goodest of Boys™️

5. Cavalier King Charles Spaniels

They were put on this earth to give puppy dog eyes and I'm scared that if I ever come within twenty yards of one I'll give it my wallet, house key, and social security number without a second thought. Precious babies who deserve so many treats.
