#blackie

My headcanons for Germany's dogs. Blackie's a shepherd, Berlitz is a hovawart, and (what I assume has to be) Aster is a great dane. On account of the fact that they're all drawn like muppets and the height Berlitz is at depends on the frame he has to fit into, this is obviously just what I like to believe.

Hovawarts are supposedly very sociable dogs, though also receptive to people's demeanour and quick to become assertive if they sense the opportunity, which is to say that Gilbert ranks below Berlitz in the pack hierarchy.

That up there is the only picture I think exists of what I assume to be Aster, from a card game of all things. At first I thought there were only two dogs, but it's canonically three. Aster is named after a type of flower!
