What kind of dog is Pluto?

Big Disney Fan · 07-12-2008, 11:33 PM

What kind of dog is Pluto supposed to be, exactly? I know he has always been considered a mutt, but there's got to be more than just that.

tomserwin · 07-12-2008, 11:39 PM

I'm assuming not a chihuahua.

Maybe part beagle?

Piglet · 07-12-2008, 11:40 PM

My guess is part Yellow Lab, part animation =)

Well, that's a different question.

Breed: purebred cartoon

He's some sort of hound. Some sort of bright yellow, slightly humanized, hound.

But he's not a purebred, he's a mutt. Most mutts are not purebreds. I know, my mom explained this to me while watching part of a dog show on Animal Planet last night.

A lot of your answers are pretty close to the truth....maybe this will help clear it up as Pluto and I have always been "pretty close"!

Pluto's first appearance in a Disney cartoon was actually as MINNIE'S dog and he was very similar to a Bloodhound. However as he developed some colored hues he did indeed resemble a Lab (however...an Orange Lab, rather than a Yellow Lab).

His breed could be listed as Canineius Bigtongueus Cartoonius.

How's that?

LOL that's awesome!! =)

You know, maybe now he is a cross between a laborador and a bloodhound.

I think he has certain features of lots of different dogs. If he's a mutt,then lots of people can say he's just like their dog....if he was a lab or a golden, then only those people could say "I have the same dog as Mickey". I think he's meant to be his own bread :) However! The dog in the Haunted Mansion....thicken him up in the middle a little and add a yellow hue and he looks a LOT like Pluto.

And make his ears black, too.

#1DisneyFreak · 08-09-2008, 11:09 PM

^ haha yep! Can't forget the black ears and tail :)

Good point. But as a dog expert, even I can't determine his breed.
