[edit] Breed

Santa's Little Helper is *not* an Italian Greyhound but simply a Greyhound. Greyhounds are the largest sighthounds, measuring around 30", while Italian Greyhounds are the smallest, measuring around 15". Edokter 21:07, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Greyhounds aren't the largest sighthound. Scottish Deerhounds, Irish Wolfhounds, and Borzois are all larger. Irish Wolfhounds are the largest sighthound. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.177.190.98 (talk) 04:51, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Breed Again

He isn't big enought to be a Greyhound! He could be a very high Italian Greyhound or simply a Whippet (despite the color, I've never seen solid brown Whippet). But he's not a Greyhound! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.210.179.126 (talk • contribs) 08:34, 16 August 2007 (UCT).

It is pretty well established that Santa is a Greyhound. He came from a racing track, and they don't race Whippets professionally in the States. His size pretty much fits a Greyhound, keeping in mind all characters are cartoons. EdokterTalk 11:04, 16 August 2007 (UTC)


Whippets do race in the united states. Check the Whippet entry on Wiki to see links to all sorts of racing associations in the U.S. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.69.64.4 (talk) 02:26, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Article name

Why is this article not just called Santa's Little Helper? --Moochocoogle 00:33, 23 Aug 2004 (UTC)

  • Because it is the discussion!!--Jerrypp772000 23:56, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] James Leon Evans

Isn't the info about James Leon Evans (from Ultimate (sport)) a needless information? Or am I just wrong? --Fred Bradstadt 22:40, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Animal

This dog is Animal!

[edit] Phoney Boney

Since when is this dog's name Phoney Boney, to my knowledge there has not been a reference to SLH's name being Phoney Boney.

[edit] Bisexuality

"Even though he's an animal" is a strange term to use, since there is bisexuality and homosexuality in nature as much as in humans.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.63.248.123 (talk • contribs)

So he is bisexual, or is he?

I think i saw him getting excited about some gay dogs on a gay pride parade. Can anyone confirm that, cuz i dont remeber what episode that would be? --Sammy Dogbro (talk) 21:12, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Age

"16 or 8" Doesn't seem to be based on anything. A retired racing greyhound usually isn't over age 5. Unless someone can explain it, I'm changing it to 'unknown'. Edokter 14:05, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

He's not a retired, he was just useless.Davie4264 18:05, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] It is a female

how can a male dog have puppies? --Mhart54com 04:35, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

He sired puppies... It says that in the article. -- Scorpion0422 05:07, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] I was looking for information about Santa's little helper.

By that I mean the one that helps Santa Claus, yes I know damn well that my headnote sucked, and had to be removed. But can someone please add a headnote about the helper of Santa Claus? Santa's little helper is also a very well known name for the helper of Santa Claus. 200.88.222.147 (talk) 16:39, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

Who is his helper? -- Scorpion0422 16:47, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
Do you mean Elves? Rhino131 (talk) 17:35, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
Elf#Elves at Christmas. EdokterTalk 18:21, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Moved from article space

[edit] Offspring

He sired twenty-five puppies with "She's The Fastest" in Two Dozen and One Greyhounds, as well as another litter with Dr. Hibbert's poodle, Rosa Barks in Today I Am a Clown.

  • 25 offspring with She's the Fastest: Rover, Fido, Rex, Spot, Rover II, Fido II, Rex II, Cleo, Dave, Jay, Paul, Branford, Dave II, Jay II, Paul II, Branford II, Sleepy, Dopey, Grumpy, Donner, Blitzen, Grumpy II, King, Queenie, Prince and The Puppy Formerly Known As Prince (NB: Due to an animation mistake, there were 26 puppies in the shot of which the names were sourced from).
  • A litter of at least 8 puppies with Dr. Hibbert's dog Rosa Barks, these puppies were given away to townspeople, including Willie, Krusty and Snake.

Above was moved from article to talk page, as it's all unsourced WP:OR violations. Once secondary, WP:RS/WP:V sources can be found, it could be moved back into the article, preferably in a paragraph format, instead of a list format. Cirt (talk) 05:57, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
