+== On Rottweilers, Pit Bulls, and Duck Hunt ==
+==The Dog==
+# Dalmatians do legitimately have floppy ears. I don’t know why anyone would suggest otherwise. However, so do Rottweilers. I think the issue is that the Rottweiler does not have a body-shape very compatible to the Duck Hunt dog. It is more likely that a hound-like dog would be the source of inspiration. The same with the Pit Bull for the blue alt. (color #3).
+# In addition, I don’t believe either of these breeds are popular in Japan. Rottweilers and Pit Bulls are illegal in several areas of Japan and are consequently uncommon.
+# That being said, I do not it can be argued that the Duck Hunt black alt. (color #2) is based on a Rottweiler or Coonhound because most of these dogs have black-and-tan coats. The alt has a tricolor coat, and while both Rottweilers and Coonhounds can exhibit this coat pattern, so do many, many other dogs and it is typically not associated with them. I see little reason to think the alt could arguably be based on any specific breed. There are just too many hound-like dog breeds with that type of coat. The most realistic and conservative comment to make is that the dog has a tricolored coat pattern. I have contacted the Japan Kennel Club for records on hunting dog registered in 2013 to learn if there’s a popular breed of hunting dog associated with the tricolored pattern that could be the source of inspiration, but they have not gotten back to me yet. Until we do, I do not think we could argue the black alt looks like any specific alt.
+# I think we should be more conservative in general with the breeds suggested. Chocolate labs are monotone and probably would not have a white muzzle like in the 4th alt. There’s a similar issue with the yellow 7th alt., which supposedly looks like a Golden Retriever despite having brown sock and ear patterns. - [[User:Nintendo101|Nintendo101]] ([[User talk:Nintendo101|talk]]) 15:55, 19 July 2018 (EDT)
