Silliness: Snoopy was a Border Collie
at around evening time on Friday, the 22nd of October 2004 by Tina
Ok just had to toss in some silliness. Ok my whole life I was always baffled to hear (Charles Schultz creation) Snoopy was a Beagle..
So tell me…
Snoopy had to have been a border collie, they just were not sure of what the breed was back then. (Snoopy has been around for 50+ years, bringing him back to the very end of 1940’s)
Think about it.. what would a beagle do with a bird? Chomp on its neck and bring the bird to its owner, beagles are hound/hunting dogs, that is a normal behavior for them. A border collie would observe, herd and or be buddies with the bird. (think about the camping trips Snoopy & the woodstock clan would do.. Snoopy was surely herding the troop).
Feeding time.. how likely would a beagle bring his food dish in for food, not to mention the number of gourmet meals Snoopy preferred.. As refined as a border collie is.. I could see a border collie prefering dinner by candle light, etc.
Kissing Lucy just to annoy her, border collies are not lick happy dogs, but they are smart enough to be mischievous and would certainly do that.. just to be silly!
Your chair is Snoopy’s chair.. yep this is something else my border collie loves to claim.. but well heck most pups will, so i will give this one as a gimmee on either side.
Stealing Linus’s Blanket and cuddling with it.. now really a border collie loves to cuddle with a favorite item.. and would love to grab and steal your blankie.. if he thinks it is his… again not something i picture as a normal beagle thing.
The Snoopy Dance! OK I have seen my border collie do this when my hubbie comes home.. he does the Snoopy dance at the door!! Can you picture a beagle doing that??
So Snoopy WAS a Border Collie!

[...] Browsing around the net I’ve found some interesting pages, such as the suggestion that Snoopy was a Border Collie and not a Beagle at all. I’ve got to say that even at 10 weeks old I can see what they’re talking about! [...]

I agree that there is no way Snoopy was a Beagle. There is also no way he could have been a Border Collie, he doesn’t have long hair. He was a Jack Russell Terrier, period.

Jack Russell.. nope, but i like your theory. Snoopy was way too laid back to be a Jack Russell.. had he have springs and bounced like Tigger i could see that.. but Snoopy was much more focused.. like a border collie.
Short hair.. it was a cartoon, and there are short hair versions of border collies.. plus when they are young their hair IS shorter.
Thank ya’all for the responses.. i love to see that others are posting on this idea.
Have a super everything.
