For some reason -- *sniffs my water suspiciously* -- I've assigned dog breeds to characters. This is fandom, and sometimes you do weird shit in fandom. So here are dogs for Doctor Who, Sherlock, The Vampire Diaries and Gossip Girl. (The last two are for goldy_dollar. Just so we're clear.)

The Doctor (DW) is a Border Collie. According to sources, they need constant companionship, praise, and extensive exercise. However, they are considered the most intelligent breed. Due to their demanding personalities and need for mental stimulation and exercise, many border collies develop neurotic behaviors in households that are not able to provide for their needs. They are famous for chewing holes in walls and digging holes out of boredom. Rose (DW) is a Bichon Frise. They are gentle mannered, sensitive, playful and affectionate. The Bichon Frise loves human company and demands much of your attention. They are generally very sociable and does well with a family that takes them everywhere. They are charming, affectionate, and intelligent. Martha (DW) is a Shetland Sheepdog. It's one of the most intelligent breeds. The Shetland sheepdog is an outstanding companion dog and is intensely loyal. It is lively, intelligent, trainable, and willing to please. Shelties become unhappy when left for long periods of time without companionship. Donna (DW) is a Pekingese. They're supremely confident, and one of the most independent (and stubborn) of the toy breeds. Most Pekingese are loyal to their owner without being cloying. This proud, self-possessed dog won't meekly submit to mischief or rough handling from anyone. They can be exasperatingly willful, but also sensitive, and resent being jerked around or even scolded. Eleven & Co (DW) can be cats. Damned if you know what they've been up to, and probably better just leaving them be. Sherlock is an Afghan Hound. The typical Afghan Hound can be aloof and dignified, but happy and clownish when playing. This breed has a high prey drive and may not get along with small animals. They are also extremely slow to take instruction and command. John (Sherlock) is a Jack Russell Terrier. Jack Russells are working dogs that are athletic and fearless. They have a tremendous amount of energy for their size, a fact which can sometimes lead to trouble involving larger animals. A solitary or sedate lifestyle is not suited to a Jack Russell Terrier and they need regular exercise. Elena (TVD) is a Bernese Mountain Dog. They are affectionate, loyal, faithful, stable, intelligent, but sometimes shy. The majority of Bernese are friendly to people, and other dogs. They often get along well with other pets such as cats, horses, vampires, etc. Stefan (TVD) is a Chihuahua. The breed tends to be fiercely loyal to one particular owner and in some cases may become over protective of the person, especially around other people or animals. They do not always get along with other breeds, and tend to have a "clannish" nature. They can also flip their shit. Damon (TVD) is a Doberman. Although these dogs are known for their aggression, they are extremely loyal. They can easily learn to 'Respect and Protect' their owners, however they do not adapt well to new masters. Like Chihuahuas, they can also flip their shit. Gossip Girls are Chow Chows. All of them. Doesn't matter the character. They just are.

*DIES*

THIS IS MY FAVOURITE NEW POST.

*SMOOCH*

Who would be the Jack Harkness dog?

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

XD

Is there a breed of dog that wants to have sex all the time? *ponders*

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

HA! HE'S A WIENERDOG.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

BWAH!!!

[jemster.livejournal.com]

You have a weird mind.

That being said, the description of the Doberman isn't entirely accurate. As someone who's had Dobes for a long time and have rehomed several I can tell you that they can in fact adapt very well to new owners. They just need someone who is firm and can provide them a structured environment and they do just fine.

Okay, off my soapbox. ;-)

*BLAMES WIKI*

[marble-rose.livejournal.com]

Huh. That still fits Damon remarkably well. *ponders*

[marble-rose.livejournal.com]

HAHAHAHAHAHA. I'm not imagining all the episodes with the characters as their dog counterparts, and it is GLORIOUS. Doggie Stefan and Elena are the funniest mental image EVAH.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

XD A vampire Chihuahua really would be the best ever!

[amberfocus.livejournal.com]

Ninth Doctor and Rose always struck me like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uimCgpWJDCI.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Awwwwwwwww!

[javabreeze.livejournal.com]

What is this?! LMAO.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Dogs as characters, of course! XD

My friends and I once assigned ice cream flavors to all the Doctors. And then made their companions into toppings. I don't remember the whole list of the top of my head, but Peri was marshmallows (or melon balls) and Jack was a Twinkie.

Comparitively? Honey, you're practically normal. ;-)

(Also, love your cat!TeamTARDISEleven! :-D I know which one's Amy, obviously, but which one's which of the others? *g* Or do you care? ;-) )

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

BWAH!!!

I'm thinking Rory might be the black one and River's the stripey one since it has orange and black. And Eleven's the grey one because he's so old. :D

[tripocket.livejournal.com]

This is the best post ever in the history of the internet.. in the history of all things. BEST EVER!

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

XD YAY!

[bittybye2000.livejournal.com]

If Elven and crew were cats, I might actually watch Doctor Who again.

Although I would disagree with Rose, she should be a Caviler King Charles Spaniel. She's just like my little girl. Brave enough to chase off a black bear that was eating my wild strawberries, sometimes wonders off to investigate the chipmunks, but also content to sit around watching TV with me.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Awwwwwwwwwwwwww!

[fid-gin.livejournal.com]

Eleven & Co (DW) can be cats. Damned if you know what they've been up to, and probably better just leaving them be.

HA! As a cat owner, and a non-admirer of Eleven and Co., this made me LOL for real. :)

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

*snickers* I decided that they really are a mystery to me, so cats. :D

[janetmaca.livejournal.com]

lololololololol at Eleven and company. You could've massively fucked up with everyone else (which you didn't) and this would have made up for all of that.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

BWAH!!! :D

[honorh.livejournal.com]

For Eleven and Co., I'd say Amy is definitely a terrier, possibly a Jack Russell or rat terrier. Rory's more of a Basset hound--kinda hangdog, but when he's on a scent, don't mess.

River, however, is most definitely a cat. Which is ironic, given her parentage.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

XD That sounds scarily accurate.

[shinyopals.livejournal.com]

omg everything about this post is amazing and shiny. Even the Sherlock bits, although I don't think any dogs exist that are sociopathic enough. XD

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Sadly no sociopathic breeds, but at least I can imagine an Afghan Hound having a flounce. :D

[sunnytyler001.livejournal.com]

XDXDXD You got it right! :D
What kind of dog woud be the Master?

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Actually, I think the Master would be a Budgie, but he'd want to be a Border Collie SO BAD that he spends most his time eating dog food and pecking at the Collie.

[jupisan.livejournal.com]

The Cats for the cast of WHO with 11 is pot on. :D
I just love this post.
you can do the other doctors and companions...

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Hmmmmm. For days that I'm twiddling my thumbs!

But Four is totally a Poodle.

[a-white-rain.livejournal.com]

Oh god we have three border collies right now and that's so perfect.

I JUST NEED TO TYPE THIS BEFORE I READ THE REST.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Awwww! Three Doctors!

[shinkonokokoro.livejournal.com]

BAHAHAHAHA!!! Gossip Girls... That cracked me up. I've never seen the show, but I agree completely.
Also, 11 and Co=Cats? Truth. Completely. I love this post.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

XD Thanks!

[nicachick007.livejournal.com]

THIS. I LOVE THIS.

I only read the DW stuff, since that's the only one I watch, but I'll be damned if they're not spot on! Except I was thrown off by the Donna is a Pekingese at first because I was like WHAT Donna is a tiny smushed faced lap dog? But the description totally fits. And this also goes to show how much I know about dogs.

And the Eleven and Co bit is just the best. And entirely too true. They are just crazy.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Yeah, Donna doesn't seem like a tiny toy dog until you read about it. XD

Eleven & Co are definitely cats. :D
