ADAV 1194: Domestic Breeds
WT: Okay...welp, I guess if we're going by what I feel is appropriate to personality I'm going to ignore the fact that the Hunter brothers would probably have to be a mixed breed from their parentage and just pick a breed for each. We can say they were adopted I suppose.
For Vernon I'm thinking Golden Retriever. Loyal, very empathetic, and quite smart. Also super affectionate dogs. Although that's not entirely fair as dogs on average are pretty affectionate creatures. Out of all the dogs I've had/lived around in my life, my Golden was the best of the lot.
Yuri was also an easy pick, although I think his is more for aesthetic reasons than personality. For Yuri I went with a Doberman, complete with docked ears and tail(At his own choosing). Loud, guard dog breed, albeit not the toughest one out there, certainly looks imposing. That said, having had one myself, they can also be real sweethearts deep down. And like most guard dogs, they will go in fierce to protect those they care about.
Trenton was also chosen for aesthetic reasons, and for him I went with a Siberian Husky. Generally, Trenton is a more laid back character, but a deep thinker and a bit of a prankster. This doesn't necessarily line up with what I've seen from Husky's, but I imagine he can be a bit stubborn, like I've seen from Huskys, although not nearly as vocal.
Wade: For Wade I ironically went with a Sheepdog of all breeds. Mostly because when I picture him as a domestic, that's where my mind went. Something about the big tuft of fur growing so thick it looks like it's covering his eyes struck me as a Wade thing. I've said before Wade is usually the peacekeeper among the brothers, often to the fault of lying to try to keep arguments from cropping up. In that way, I suppose you could say he's leading his brothers around a bit.
Ulric: I was tempted to go Chihuahua for this, as they tend to be rather...stressed pooches. Trembling messes afraid of their own shadow in most cases, and rightfully so. However, in the end, I think a Greyhound is more fitting, maybe even an Italian greyhound. They are such a strange-looking breed, and I feel that it definitely encapsulates what I see in my mind. That said, while I don't know all that much about Italian greyhounds or otherwise, I'm mostly picturing that strange little Italian Greyhound owned by Youtube's Jenna Marbles when I think of Ully. Kermit. Seriously, this link compilation is like my case file for Ully's spirit breed.

Xavier: While I initially planned to go with a lab for Xavier, I decided that perhaps a Shibe Inu is a better fit. Not only in the way of the look, but the natural clean fur factor, in that it takes them a long time to actually get to needing a bath. It makes them feel naturally fastidious, which fits Xavier. They are also intelligent and stubborn, two traits I also feel line up with Xavey quite well.
Zach: First born, last on the list, German Shepard. Loveable yet loyal and fierce protectors. A favorite choice for police dogs, as well as an analog breed for a wolf willing to jump in front of a bullet.
Dorian: Alaskan Malamute. Mostly chosen to avoid picking husky for more than two of the characters listed, then again that gets shot to heck later in the list. Then again, he fits the strong and dedicated type of animal that malamutes are described as. Also, unlike huskies they are apparently fairly quiet. Just have to worry about that 'high prey drive' around his fellow meadowlanders. Lol. But seriously, size, strength, and disposition fit Dorian to a tee.
Audrey: Blonde Border Collie. No, lot the Lassie Collie. They are largely farm hand dogs, and also can be used for sheep herding ironically. Also, they are a highly intelligent and playful breed, both monikers that fit Auddey to a tee. And again, like most dogs they can be sweet and cuddly.
Now for the other wolves outside the Hunters.
Kodi: Discussing it with his partial creator, he wanted to go with Husky, and I honestly can't really argue against it. Once again, it suits Kodi's look, and it can also work in terms of his personality in the emotionally stubborn department. If a husky want's your attention or love, they will persist until you give in. They are a very vocal breed from what I've seen.
Loupon: For Loup I picked a Samoyed. This is mostly for looks, as it's considered one of the prettier breeds of dog out there, and by Ana's standards ken was top of the pole in terms of looks and station. Also herding dog, which makes it extra ironic he hooked up with Claire.
Ana: Sharpei. Why? Well...I've had personally bad experiences with the breed. They can be very aggressive and unfriendly, at least in my experience. Not a dog for kids, or keepers of other small animals. I believe they were used for fighting dogs back in their native lands, but it's been years since I heard it and haven't fact checked. So I feel that's the perfect disposition to match up with Ana's.
Talia: lastly for Talia, I chose Saint Bernard. Mostly by virtue of picking one of the largest breeds of dogs out there to represent her. But despite thier massive size and rippling musculature, they are also very gentle, friendly dogs, which I think fits Talia to a tee, especially around Broomie.
Bonus:
Connor: Despite being a Coyote, I know the one who wanted me to make him was initially hoping for a German Shep. So there's an east answer.
Dom: Also a German Shepard, as a request by his creator. Although, hard to pick a more fitting breed considering the body structure and country of origin, lol.
Ideally, I would have wanted to draw all these guys out, but that would take way too much time that could be devoted to comms and writing, so instead I picked the three I thought would look best to display. So I present to you, Vernon as a Golden Retriever (Because I had too, his names in the blog.) Yuri as the Doberman, and Audrey as the Border Collie. Hope you like them. Perhaps in the future I'll draw a few more.
PS: I want to apologize for taking so long with these ones this week...I’m feeling a bit under the weather and it’s kinda slowing everything down as I try to work around it.
