Bolt

[drcorey]

Big talk on the movie database about what type of hound Bolt is.
per Disney, Bolt was drawn after a American White Shepherd.

I've read on the production notes on the official Bolt website, that Bolt was based on the design of an American White Shepherd, but with some changes made;

Here's a quote from the production notes;

"The character of Bolt’s design cue is loosely based on American White Shepherds with changes to the ears, nose and overall body size."

American White Shepherd is supposed to look like a white german shepherd.
Sort of like turning a chihuahua into Pluto, lol.

Bolt looks like a white German Shepherd to me. I have never heard of an American White Shepherd,it's probably just a variant of the German Shepherd. In the world of AKC (American Kennel Club) showing, white German Shepherds are not permitted. (They can however be registered)

You be the judge, I guess being white with pointy perky ears, could be white german shepherd.
