While not a particularly playful breed, the Highbrow Terrier is noted for his intelligence. ItÍs not at all clear whether he actually enjoys movies, or if he simply finds them a convenient vehicle to show off his intellectual tricks. Highbrow Terrier thrives at being the center of attention and is therefore a good show breed, but his compulsive need to demonstrate his knowledge often annoys other Movie Hounds. Highbrow Terrier has a distinct preference for heavy European films over lighter domestic fare.
Incompatibilities: Mutt, Bon Bon, Church Shepherd, Pariah Dog and, of course, Pit Bull.
Chow Hound
Chow Hound is an easy going pooch with an uncritical love for any and
all movies. He has a gluttonous appetite for film and is completely indiscriminate
as to what he will consume. Chow Hound's iron stomach tolerates indigestible
garbage that would sicken less hardy breeds. Though his omnivorous tastes
make him a good film companion, he is a poor movie guide dog because of
his complete inability to distinguish good films from bad.
Incompatibilities: Pit Bull. Church Shepherd and
Highbrow Terrier.
Epicurean Hound
The Epicurean Hound is a close descendent of the Chow Hound and shares
that breedÍs comprehensive movie appetite. Unlike his antecedent, however,
Epicurean Hound actually recognizes dreck when he sees it, but his pedigree
nonetheless drives him to watch even the worst cinematic abominations.
He compensates for this quirk of temperament by affecting an encyclopedic
knowledge of film and would, for example, not only know who co-starred
with Jose Ferrer in the 1950 "Cyrano de Bergerac" (Mala Powers), but would
be able to tell you who directed "Ilsa, She-Wolf of the SS" (Don Edmunds).
Incompatibilities: Pit Bull, Church Shepherd.
