Your beat defense is the IGR, either Methoprene or Nylar, which will last up to six months inside and keep the population from reproducing.

It says he has "cute brown eyes" and is "in the process of being." Maybe he's transcending his breed.
Acutually, he looks like a hypomelanistic mutation. Miller (actually RWK) dogs have tickings of color.

You need to research your definition of "line" better. Putting Rawhide's Clown subordinate to Dixieland's Rusty makes no sense. They were both Moesgaard dogs, from different places and decades.
They are all dogs. How they are developed contributes more than anything else to the end product.
