Another day of dogs! Some notes:

You might remember that Groen; I actually met him as a younger puppy at a semi-recent show! He's gotten a lot more mature since.

I might have posted Tessa (Circlecity Tabloid Tease) when she was a puppy, too - I met her when she was a wee baby. She's enormous now by comparison!

Ty did beautifully this weekend. I'm pretty sure he finished - I'll have to double check. No love for Nochka but I think he's the prettiest boy. Wish I'd gotten a picture of the Borzoi puppy there today, my heart just melted!

OKAY. HERE WE GO. my black bulls doggies!!!! :D

there's definitely a noticeable difference in style/quality of some of these just due to time between each design and/or how i was feeling at the time of drawing them (these hot and rainy summer months have been super rough on me)

ALSO they were all done symmetrically so that i wouldn't burn out and could actually finish them LOL . OK EVERYBODY BELOW

starting off with asta, a husky/coyote mutt!! :D in my au, devil users end up becoming hybrids of whatever their devil is. so since liebe is a coyote, that's what asta is too!! (also, i haven't drawn him yet, but yuno is a malamute :D similar looking breeds but different since they're not actually related!)

(here's liebe too hehe, scrappy lil coyote!!)

then of course, noelle, who's a saluki!! a very regal breed for a very royal gal!! i thought making her pigtails into her ears was a fun idea HEHEHE

(+ an alternate design version!)

here's finral, he's a shetland sheepdog!! gentle and sweet and always trying to herd his people together :) you might notice that with some of my designs, i end up doing extra scarring; that's usually just personal headcanons, as i think some injuries would be too grievous to fully heal. though some (for instance, gauche) don't have a canon story behind them, i just think they're fitting

vanessa, who's a cavalier king charles spaniel!! her ears sorta blend into her hair lol, i had an alternate version where they were the same darker brown as her fur but i decided that them blending in looked better and fit the breed standard as well.

gauche, the ever wary american akita!! being a fiercely loyal and protective breed, but aloof and suspicious of strangers.

then there's grey, who's a long-haired chihuahua!! sweet and skittish HEHE, also i haven't drawn it yet but i've always imagined her big transformation disguise that she's first introduced as to be a rottweiler LOL

next up is luck, a jack russell terrier!! i've always thought this was a very fitting breed pick, intelligent but highly energetic and a little mischievous !!!

and of course, magna is never far behind luck; he's a dobermann pinscher!! similar to luck in energy and intelligence, but even more fiercely protective of his loved ones.

GORDON!!! actually one of my favourite black clover characters, he's a dalmatian not only because of the fitting aesthetic, but also because of his kind and sensitive personality!

the masked supermage zora, a german shepherd! watchful and sometimes stubborn but loyal nonetheless made this pick fairly easy to come to. though, before getting to see more of him, my initial pick was actually a kai ken!

charmy's design is one that i'm the most proud of for sure; i mentioned in an earlier post that the different peoples are different species of animals. well charmy is a half toy poodle, half american badger!! i thought a badger was a VERY fitting pick, as they are generally unbothered by much unless their food is threatened LOL

and finally, lastly (for now) is nero!! she's a bull terrier, but i really wanted to keep her twin tails from her anti-bird form! her outfit is definitely the one i edited the most, i just wanted to give her something more practical out of personal preference.

additionally, henry is an old english sheepdog, nacht is a black norwegian elkhound/fox, and yami is a wolfdog!

I HAVE SOME OTHER CHARACTERS DOODLED HERE AND THERE but nothing else really finished yet. if there's a specific character anyone would like to see i would be SO happy to draw/doodle them to show off!! i honestly have a huge list of dog/cat breeds picked out for every character i could think of; i just am hellishly indecisive and can never pick who to start on next AHDSJAGDJSDK

THE POSITIVE RECEPTION TO MY ART SO FAR HAS MADE ME SO HAPPY BTW AUAGGHHH i have no idea how/if im able to reply to people directly but just know that i keep reading over everyone's reblog tags and stimming like crazy IM SO HAPPY THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH AUHGHFEHGGRH

[Image ID: Article from a newspaper reading: "how many dogs does it take to change a lightbulb?" In the middle, there's a black and white picture of a longhaired dog.

The article reads:

Golden Retriever: The sun is shining, the day is young, we've got our whole lives ahead of us, and you're worried about a stupid burned out bulb?

Border Collie: Just one. And then I'll replace any wiring that's not up to code.

Dachshund: You know I can't reach that stupid lamp!

Rottweiler: Make me.

Boxer: Who cares? I can still play with my squeaky toys in the dark.

Lab: Oh, me, me!!!!! Pleeeeeeeeze let me change the bulb! Can I? Can I? Huh? Huh? Can I? Pleeeeeeze, please, please, please!

German Shepherd: I'll change it as soon as I've led these people from the dark, check to make sure I haven't missed any, and make just one more perimeter patrol to see that no one has tried to take advantage of the situation.

Jack Russel Terrier: I'll just pop it back in while I'm bouncing off the walls and furniture.

Old English Sheepdog: Light bulb? I'm sorry, but I don't see a lightbulb.

Cocker Spaniel: Why change it? I can still pee on the carpet in the dark.

Pointer: I see it, there it is, there it is, right there...

Greyhound: It isn't moving, who cares?

Australian Shepherd: First I'll put all the lightbulbs into a little circle...

Poodle: I'll just blow into the Border Collie's ear and he'll do it. By the time he finishes rewiring the house, my nails will be dry.

The Cat's Answer: Dogs do not change lightbulbs. People change lightbulbs. So the real question is: How long will it be before I can expect some light, some dinner, and a message?

EXTREMELY dangerous dog that must be banned ^

If this offends you, good. If it makes you think, "finally, someone with the balls to say it," that's also good.

It's really sad that owning an animal that's been statistically proven to be extremely unpredictable and dangerous has been normalized.

I don't give a fuck if yours "isn't bad" or that you "raised them right." Statistics also show that even well-trained dogs (especially bully breeds) are prone to lashing out for no reason at all, and overall they are responsible for about 70% of dog attacks and fatalities on humans; more than the rest of the top five combined. There's also numerous videos on the Internet showing them going completely out of their way to maul, severely disfigure, or even kill people - for absolutely no reason at all other than "fuck you."

I don't care if you think chihuahuas are worse, because you're wrong. A chihuahua may attack you, but it isn't gonna do any damage. However, a gigantic dog absolutely can and will ruin your life. Chihuahuas are also kind enough to warn you that they're going to attack you, while the vicious murder-beasts that are pitbulls and the like have learned how to give absolutely no warning before they attack.

Here's a bit of common sense for you: If you raise something to be violent, angry, and unpredictable, IT WILL BECOME VIOLENT, ANGRY, AND UNPREDICABLE. THAT IS LITERALLY HOW GENETICS WORK.

I would rather have a tiger or a gorilla living in my house than even a single one of these evil monsters. At least those are intelligent animals that only attack when they're hungry, and not just whenever their stupid pea-sized brains happen to misfire.

You know what's also really sad? How utterly narcissistic people who own these horrible animals are. They will completely and utterly ignore cold, hard, objective facts and call you all sorts of names because it makes their precious velvet hippo look like the monster that it is. I have never seen such an utterly insufferable group of people like them in my life.

And the victim blaming...holy shit, the victim blaming. Even if they see a video blatantly showing that the monster-dog attacked for no reason at all, they'll still rush to its defense and claim that the victim deserved it. Good fucking lord, it makes my blood boil.

Take a closer look at that snout

So this has been a thing I've been wondering for a while ever since asking about the difference between the words the cats used for hound and dog: you mention that toy breeds are all one word which fair, but if one were to be given the prefix Yarf-, how would that be translated to english? Toybreeddog- literally yes, but how would you simplify the name so it's not a mouthful? Like for the other two they could be Dogkit and Houndkit but what would yarf be? Closest thing I've got is maybe puppy or terrier though that wouldn't be quite accurate either way, since puppy implies those dogs are all young or all terriers (I mean a decent amount of terriers are about cat sized, even some toy breeds are terrier in name alone, like yorkies and bostons).

Whelp, pup, pooch, or tyke would be the easiest translations. Tyke is actually a word for small, mixed-breed mutts which gets applied to human children as slang. You could shuffle the middlemost dog category, but try not to think in terms of the official, human conception of dog breeds! Remember that you're translating from a different language with a totally different view of these animals. It's going to be an approximation either way.

You could do Hound, Cur, Dog. Or you could do Hound, Mutt, Terrier. Or you could do Canine, Mongrel, Toy. You could even just describe the sounds they're making, Bay, Bark, Yap. At the end of the day, the Clanmew categorization of the three types of dogs is as loose and arbitrary as the English ones.

I'd also think about what exactly the name is meant to invoke. The kitten might have been named after a specific dog-related incident, so the most "accurate" translation would really be whatever is closest to that particular dog. Yap, Toy, or Terrier make a good enough words, but if the name was supposed to mean that they're a little ruffian who likes to fight, you can just say Scrappykit or Punk-kit.

If you did go with "pup" though, that would be perfectly acceptable. Clan cats don't have a dedicated word for baby dogs, so if you said "Bayao Yarf," they'd understand that as you saying "hound pup" or maybe even "basset hound," depending on the context.

WHILE I'm at it though, here is a new word for most young predators. This describes fox kit, badger cubs, and dog pups. It can also be applied to young hogs, but they actually have a LOT of terms in Clanmew for specific age ranges.

(kinda like how you can call a fox kit a "cub" or a "pup" and it's still fine.)

Gnich = Baby predator, brat, troublesome child

A variety of critters from today

[becausegoodheroesdeservekidneys]

I didn't know corgi was a welsh word 😯🌟🐶 Can you tell more dog names in welsh?

It's a Welsh breed! Pair of breeds, actually - the little cute one from Pembrokeshire that looks like it belongs on a twee greetings card with a duckling on its head, and the big Carmarthenshire one that looks like it is straining every second of every day not to hunt down a cow and slaughter it. Funnily enough, America has gone feral for corgis, but here in Wales you don't often see pet ones. They don't have the temperament for pet life. I assume it's maybe a working-line Vs pet-line thing, but here their reputation is that they are snappy and aggressive if they aren't very, very carefully raised and handled.

The correct plural is corgwn, btw. Enjoy this knowledge.

Other Welsh breeds with Welsh names:

Llamgi Cymreig - the Welsh springer spaniel. 'Spaniel' is actually Sbaengi, meaning 'Spain dog', so cognate with the English, but llamgi is 'jumping/springing dog'.

Daeargi Cymreig - the Welsh terrier. Daeargi means 'earth dog', because of the traditional chasing things into setts and warrens thing. The Sealyham terrier is daeargi Sealyham, so same thing

And, Ci Defaid Cymreig - the Welsh sheepdog, pretty literal

And then non-Welsh breeds are varyingly named along similar lines. Sbaengi adara - the cocker spaniel (lit 'bird Spain dog'). Sbaengi hela - the English Springer (lit 'hunting Spain dog'). Sbaengi Siarl - the King Charles spaniel (lit 'Charles' Spain dog')

Ci defaid is generically used for collie or sheepdog.

Terriers there are many! I pulled these off of Bruce:

Black-&-tan terrier - daeargi melyn a du (yellow and black earth dog)

Bull-terrier - daeargi tarw

Cairn terrier - daeargi byrgoes (shortleg earth dog)

Fox terrier is fun, it gets DIALECTS. Daeargi/ci codi llwynog (fox-raising earth dog/dog) in the North, ci codi cadno (fox-raising dog) in the South

Irish terrier - daeargi Gwyddelig

Maltese terrier - daeargi Melita

Scotch terrier - daeargi Albanaidd/Sgotaidd

Skye terrier - daeargi Heledd (who is Heledd???)

Toy terrier - corddaeargim (dwarf earth dog! The 'cor' is the same as in corgi)

Yorkshire terrier - daeargi Efrog (York earth dog)

Let's see, what else... Um, adargi is 'retriever' - bird dog, literally. Golden retriever is adargi melyn (yellow bird dog)

Poodle is just pwdl. Cymricised transliteration, innit

My brain won't think of any more dogs, sorry. HMU if you have a specific one lol
