A guide to Catholic dog breeds



The Roman Lurcher.

Loyal and intelligent...and barks in Latin!

1. The Librador – a disobedient breed lacking in charm. Has a tendency to wander and does not socialise with the orthodox breeds.Whines and generally makes a lot of noise but once trained to shake hands, it does not stop.

2. The Alpine Terrier – also known as the Fellay Hound. A breed that remains faithful even under the most trying circumstances. Aggressive when roused but a loyal and determined sort that stays close to its master.

  3.  Austrian Pinkenschnauzer – this is a specialist breed intended for  only 

       the most experienced of handlers. Lacks concentration and has a nasty 

        habit of biting the hand that feeds it. Difficult to identify the sexes.

4. Wimbledon Rigidback – a dying breed due to its failure to keep up with the times and its rabid tendencies. Now believed to survive only in the wastelands of Wimbledon Common (along with the Wombles). Inclined to be a sheep worrier.

5. Roman Lurcher – once thought to be extinct this extraordinary breed has returned to increasing popularity in recent years. Easy to see why, it is faithful and obedient and loves its master above all else. This is a breed that can survive under the harshest of conditions. Generally has large litters. Responds best to commands in Latin.

  

    6.  Soho Pointer – can be difficult to tell the sexes apart but a breed that 

         is becoming increasingly popular. Has a habit of baying at the moon 

         and yapping incessantly.

8.  Irish Retriever – once was a noble breed but, in recent years it has fallen victim to inbreeding in a desire to modernise the line. Refuses to come to heel and dislikes a collar and lead. Could return to its earlier glory if given new bloodlines and managed and disciplined properly.

8. Nut Hound – originating from the wastelands of Sedevacantia this breed hunts avidly for nuts but suffers from limited vision leading to total blindness. Will remain outside whining to be let in but then refuses to enter. Inclined to creep under any empty chair and sulk.

9. Shine Poodle – likes to perform in public and is a good display dog but has little substance.

 

10. Holloway Mastiff – makes a good guard dog but its habit of attacking women in trousers can be tiresome to its owner. Not a pack breed, likes to nip at people’s ankles making it a less than sociable dog.
