I found a site no more than a week ago that listed it and I can't find it. That annoys me. I want to know what breed Interceptor is, all I remember from the site is the name started with an 'A'. I don't even know if the site is right but pictures of the breed were close enough to what Interceptor looked like to get me to believe the site was correct,

From what I can tell, Interceptor's a Doberman Pinscher.

Yea, that's what I thought too. And it's probably right. It's still gonna annoy me that I can't remember what the other site said though. Stupid brain,

Definitely a Doberman.  At least, that's what I always assumed.

I always thought he was a Doberman as well. Wouldn't make sense as anything else with that resemblance.

Doberman or Rotweiler. Then again the size of a dog on that game didn't allow much for giving him a feature difference.

If you look at the actual drawings though, AD, it's definite that Interceptor isn't a rottweiler, the snout protrudes and the head is too small and streamlined for a rottweiler.  I've only ever seen one drawing of Shadow and Interceptor, so it's wholly possible most people haven't seen it.

The only other possibility is crossbreeding... and what's the point, int's a doberman, end of story (unless it isn't, of course).

I would have to agree with everyone that he is a Doberman, although it would have been sweet in they showed how Shadow got him in the game.

If you want to get technical, they do.

SPOILER ALERT!  Highlight to view:

Remember the dream scene when Clyde Arrowny is leaving Thamasa?  A dog follows him (presumably Interceptor).  Clyde tells him to stay with Relm, but he refuses and wants to go with him.  Finally, the two exit together, and the dream ends.  Although Interceptor may or may not have been with Clyde prior to his stay in Thamasa, it can be assumed that this was the beginning of Clyde's transition into the uber-cool ninja Shadow, and thus this is an explanation of how Shadow "got" Interceptor.

And, as a cheap way to veer back into topic, I still think he's a doberman.  The concept art supports this.

I used to think it was a rottweiler, but the snout is pointier. Doberman.

It was either German Sheperd or Doberman because darn those Dogs are loyal.

I'll tell you of a now deceased German Shepard called Simba. Now Simba was a champion, as a puppy his arrival at the farm coincided with the release of the Lion King. Everyone loved Simba well except the lady of the house. Simba always ran inside the house and drank out of the toilet. He loves to get his mouth around anything he can get usually human arms. Yep all the Australia Cattle Dogs on that farm moved out of the way for him and he was only a puppy at that time. Shadow would have liked Simba. Now the adult Simba was the undisputed King of Dogs, but not farmers. Simba was a loyal guard dog. We arrived at the farm one night and Simba greeted us a massive dog about to tear our heads off. The lady of the house saved again and Simba recognised us. Simba was also a notorious Sheep killer who kill with ruthless effeciency. He was on the chain last time we saw him. A year later Simba was killed by a drunken farmer who didn't even have the cortoursy to tell the family where he had been buried. We all miss Simba.

So if Interceptor was a German Shepard he would have owned Kefka with his aggresive barking and biting.

Edit: I decided to delete my post here. I wasn't in the best of moods when I wrote it, and came off sounding rude, where I hadn't really intended to. I believe I've found a new home here at CoN, where I can chat with others who share my obsession for the earlier FF games (FFVI in particular), and that was a bad way to start off.
So... Hello everyone, very happy to be here and to have found CoN, and you can expect to hear a lot (of polite posts) from me in the future!

I don't pee in your pool, so please don't flame on my post.

Well, despite the means, this topic is revived, sort of. So I will post the four possible answers I can think of. Judgeing from the sprite, Interceptor is most probably a doberman or a rottweiler since he shares the colorings and lacks a tail. Of course, just because the breed has a tail doen't mean that Interceptor doesn't mean he is excluded. Since he is a very suicidal dog in the game, he could have had his tail chopped off in a fight somehow. Here are some examples I can think of off the top of my head:

1. A monster biting it off
2. somebody striking Interceptor with a sword when somebody was fighting Shadow
3. Shadow threw a ninja star that went astray.
4. Shadow was starving to death, needed something to eat and being the emotionless man he claims to be, made dog tail soup.

If that's what happened then you can open up
german shepherd and mutt (I've actualy seen plenty of mutts that look like Interceptor, just with tails.[No link. Too many different types of mutts.]) Other then that, I can't think of any others and even though I mentioned Rottweiler, I doubt he's that because of his build. Since nothing is mentioned in game so he could also be a Doma Man Pincha . I hear they like to eat strangers .

Role reversal at its finest.

I always thought of him as a German Shepherd. I had never given it even a passing glance. It's probably because growing up my friend had a German Shepherd. So, Interceptor will always be a loyal German Shepherd to me.

German Shepherds don't even have the same build or coloration. Unless, of course, the color of German Shepherds can vary to the black and tan pattern of a Doberman pinscher, and I've never seen that happen. To clarify, Dobermans are mostly black with dark tan on their paws and underside, like Interceptor; German Shepherds are mostly light tan with black along their back. His build's still off either way. Also, every rottweiler and rottweiler picture I've seen shows that they don't have perked ears, but Interceptor does.

I also say he's intended to be a Doberman by the looks of it.

I'm gunna assume he's a Doberman, though he could be a mix of breeds with Doberman being the dominant.

And behold, I saw a Pale Gaming System, and the name of he who rode it was Squaresoft, and Enix followed him.

If I recall correctly, don't you fight an enemy in the game called Doberman that looks like interceptor? Well, if you could imagine Interceptor's sprite being just a little bigger that is anyway.

This is interesting...I was wondering this for a while, and when I come back to
CoN, there's a topic about it all right!

Anyways, I checked for myself and decided that Interceptor's probably a Doberman Pinscher. I don't really know dogs myself, but I decided that I might want to get a dog sometime far in the future and was considering getting an Interceptor-breed dog or a Siberian husky, so I wanted to find out what breed Interceptor most likely is.

Interceptor is a dog from a fictional land. I think it would stand to reason (especially with all these espers and monsters galavanting about) that it is of a breed that does not exist in our world. Personally, I think it's a really big, black, angry poodle.

Hey, you know whats funny about this question? You've posted way too many responses that say pretty much the same thing. It really dosn't matter at all, and all you people are really stupid for repeating the same thing over and over. Plus, It's a video game. They don't need to have real dog breeds in a video game.

Simmer down, trolly. You know the best way to make a topic go away if you don't like it? Don't post in it to make it move to the top of the list. If you're not going to contribute positively, don't post. If you think there's real reason for a post or topic to be removed or closed -- and there isn't, at the moment, for this topic -- use the Report function.

First off, I resent the fact that you call me a troll. This topic truly angered me, and I wanted to express my feelings. This response was well thought out and intellegent. I don't want the topic gone, but this is a forum, right? What do people do in a forum? Voice their opinions. I'm sorry that we had to meet under these circumstances and I hope that, god willing, you may one day call me 'friend'.

No, you're right, insulting the members of the forum by calling them "stupid" shows that you yourself are a brilliant sort. In fact, you might just be too smart to be here, so feel free to find somewhere else to go.
