#I'm just assigning some of them more or less fitting real world breeds for convenience's sake

You’ve most likely answered this before but what breed exactly is Machete? I’ve been trying to figure it out for a while I’ve thought maybe a saluki but the ears arnt right.

In theory his breed is fictional Podenco Siciliano, but he's not a purebred example. Out of existing dog breeds he looks closest to (and is related to) Ibizan Hound.

But sometimes I see Silken Windhounds that also kind of remind me of him. They just don't have the characteristic bat ears.

#I usually just default to calling him a sighthound #I feel like that tells you enough about what kind of dog he is without going off on needlessly convoluted breed tangents #answered #anonymous #Machete #Vaschete lore #I don't own any of these photos I'm just showing them as demonstration #specific breeds and breed names aren't a thing in-universe #I don't think they call each other labradors and poodles and schnauzers even if that's what they look like to us #different dog types emerge as result of natural variation and certain characteristics become family traits #but in practice everyone is mixed #I'm just assigning some of them more or less fitting real world breeds for convenience's sake #it's just such a quick and easy way to describe the look of any given dog
