Most of the characters in the series are [[anthropomorphism|anthropomorphizations]] of dogs, hence the title of the cartoon, although there are a few exceptions, most notably Dogtanian's two sidekicks Pip the mouse and Planchet the bear, among several others.<ref>{{cite web|first1=Phil|last1=De Semlyen|first2=Ali|last2=Plumb|first3=Helen|last3=O'hara|first4=James|last4=Dyer|url=http://www.empireonline.com/movies/features/classic-kids-tv-shows-still-rock-world/|title=Classic Kids' TV Shows That Still Rock Our World, Feature|website=Empireonline.com|date=2015-10-09|access-date=2016-09-27}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.theguardian.com/culture/2021/jul/05/how-we-made-dogtanian|title='I bought two dog encyclopedias': how we made Dogtanian and the Three Muskehounds|date=5 July 2021|website=The Guardian}}</ref>

In 1985, BRB Internacional released a television film edited from the series entitled ''Dogtanian: Special''. In 1989, they produced with [[Televisión Española]] and [[Thames Television]] a sequel series entitled ''[[The Return of Dogtanian]]''. In 1995, they released a television film edited from the sequel series entitled ''Dogtanian: One For All and All For One''. In 2021, Apolo Films (BRB International's cinema studio) and Cosmos Maya released a feature-length [[Computer-generated imagery|CGI]] film entitled ''[[Dogtanian and the Three Muskehounds (film)|Dogtanian and the Three Muskehounds]]'' in cinemas.

==Plot==
The story, set in 17th-century France, follows a young Dogtanian (D'Artagnan (ダルタニヤン) in the original Japanese version and voiced by Satomi Majima (間嶋 里美) and D'Artacán in the Spanish version) who travels from [[Béarn]] to [[Paris]] in order to become one of King [[Louis XIII of France]]'s [[musketeer]]s (they are referred to as musketeers throughout the cartoon and only the title calls them 'Muskehounds'). He quickly befriends three musketeers (Porthos, Athos and Aramis), saving Juliette, a [[Lady-in-waiting|maid-in-waiting]] for Queen [[Anne of Austria]]. A key difference between the English-language dubs of the ''Dogtanian'' adaptions and Dumas' novel is that the names of [[Athos (fictional character)|Athos]] and [[Porthos]] were interchanged, making Athos the extrovert and Porthos the secretive noble of the group.

==Production==
''Dogtanian'' stemmed from [[Claudio Biern Boyd]]'s love for literature. As a child, before television arrived in Spain (the first broadcast was in 1956), he enjoyed reading works by authors such as [[Jules Verne]], [[Emilio Salgari]], [[Alexandre Dumas]] (père), [[Karl May]] and [[Edmondo de Amicis]], while imagining the situations in the books he read. By the time he was part of the newly-formed [[BRB Internacional]], after signing important contracts with animation studios for broadcast and merchandising, Claudio decided to do an original series instead, based on his favorite childhood books. 

After adapting ''Cantar del mío Cid'' as ''Ruy el pequeño Cid'', he adapted Dumas' ''The Three Musketeers'' and set the main characters as dogs, with the starting point being a two-part Salvat encyclopedia on them, costing 25[[Spanish peseta|pts]]. The species were defined according to his imagination. For the villains, Milady was set as a cat, an animal Claudio hated, and Richelieu was set as a fox in homage of a village he spent summers for years where the local villagers complained about a fox that raided henhouses at night. As of 2021, Claudio owned a bulldog, which in the series was the species of Richelieu's guard. Moreover, Dogtanian was chosen as a [[beagle]] in homage to Charles M. Schulz' character [[Snoopy]], for which Claudio had an affinity for.<ref name="Claudio">{{cite web |title=Claudio Biern Boyd: "Todavía hay amigos de mis hijos que me culpan de haber llorado con la muerte de David el Gnomo" |url=https://theobjective.com/further/cultura/2021-08-20/claudio-biern-boyd-todavia-hay-amigos-de-mis-hijos-que-me-culpan-de-haber-llorado-con-la-muerte-de-david-el-gnomo/ |access-date=15 August 2024 |website=The Objective |date=20 August 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220225044302/https://theobjective.com/further/cultura/2021-08-20/claudio-biern-boyd-todavia-hay-amigos-de-mis-hijos-que-me-culpan-de-haber-llorado-con-la-muerte-de-david-el-gnomo/ |archive-date=25 February 2022}}</ref><ref name=tesis/>

As with his early series, pre-production work was done in Spain and post-production work in Japan at Nippon Animation's facilities in [[Tokyo]].<ref name="Cinemanía20">{{cite web |title=Claudio Biern Boyd, creador de D'Artacán, Willy Fog y David el Gnomo: "No sabía que lo que hacía era tan importante para las personas" |url=https://www.20minutos.es/cinemania/noticias/claudio-biern-boyd-dartacan-willy-fog-david-gnomo-no-sabia-hacia-importante-personas-4796486/ |access-date=15 August 2024 |website=20 Minutos |date=20 August 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210820062708/https://www.20minutos.es/cinemania/noticias/claudio-biern-boyd-dartacan-willy-fog-david-gnomo-no-sabia-hacia-importante-personas-4796486/ |archive-date=20 August 2021}}</ref> On the Spanish side, the series was directed by Luis Ballester and Claudio Biern Boyd, with the latter supervising the script, while in Japan, Shigeo Koshi was at the helm of the department while Shuuichi Seki served as the series' character designer.<ref name=tesis/>

Adapting the novel was complicated, mostly due to its length and tragedy. BRB's scripwriting theme created a "clean and polished" product, removing most of the dark undertones of the original novel: the novel was set in a chaotic period of French history, with violence happening throughout. The Musketeers in the original work had the following characteristics: Athos was an alcoholic, Porthos the lover of a woman married to a rich man, whose only way to marry was with the death of her husband. D'Artagnan himself was an adulterer, courting his two loves, Milady and Constance. Much of these characteristics were removed from BRB's adaptation.<ref name=tesis/>

The choice of anthropomorphic characters was cheaper and removed traces of violence found in the original work. This style was not new for Nippon Animation, having done several animated series before where the characters were all anthropomorphic animals. These were made as such to be more attractive to children, expressing the way of being of the characters in a more direct manner. Dogtanian and the Muskehounds are portrayed with more "rounded" characteristics while the villains, especially Richelieu, were drawn in a more aggressive style. Milady, a cat, also represents the animal's association with stealth and espionage.<ref name=tesis/>

The series was produced in 1981 by [[BRB International]] and [[Nippon Animation]]<ref name="tesis"/> and was first broadcast by [[Mainichi Broadcasting System|MBS]] in Japan, where it began airing on 9 October of that year.<ref name="credits">[http://www.nippon-animation.co.jp/work/1404/ ワンワン三銃士], Original credits in Nippon Animation's Japanese website</ref> A year after its premiere, it was broadcast for the first time in Spain on [[Televisión Española]]'s [[La 1 (Spanish TV channel)|Primera Cadena]] on 9 October 1982.<ref>{{cite news|title=TV guide - Dogtanian 1st episode at Primera Cadena|url=https://www.abc.es/archivo/periodicos/abc-madrid-19821009-94.html|access-date=12 December 2020|newspaper=[[ABC (newspaper)|ABC]]|language=es|date=9 October 1982|edition=Madrid|pages=94}}</ref> The partnership between BRB International and Nippon Animation worked so well, that they collaborated again to work on another successful animated series two years later called ''[[Around the World with Willy Fog]]''.

==Broadcast==
The series first aired in Japan on the 20{{efn|Simultaneous broadcast on MBS (production station), HBC, ATV, TBC, FTV (now an FNN station), TBS, UTY, BSN, SBC, SBC, MRO, CBC, BSS, RHK, RCC, TYS, KUTV, RKB, OBS and RBC.}} of the 25{{efn|Deferred broadcast on RKK, MRT and MBC. No broadcast at all on IBC and NBC.}} stations of the [[Japan News Network]] ([[Tokyo Broadcasting System Television|TBS]]) at the time, in block, with the [[Mainichi Broadcasting System]] responsible for co-production. The series aired on Fridays at 7pm during its run.<ref>''Animage'', Tokuma Publishing Company, pp.94-95, April 1982</ref> Unlike in certain markets, ratings in Japan during its first run were sluggish, reporting only 4% ratings in the Kanto area. Due to poor viewer performance, MBS withdrew from producing animated shows for the 7pm timeslot and [[Calpis]] withdrew from sponsorship. After it ended, it was replaced by ''[[Jarinko Chie]]'' in its timeslot, which had been moved from a 5pm Saturday slot on a handful of affiliates and was finally shown on much of the network as consequence.<ref name="tvguide810605">週刊TVガイド 1982年2月12日号 30頁「レポート『チビッ子に迷惑!? ドラえもんvsじゃりん子』」</ref> The series competed with ''[[Ninja Hattori-kun]]'', and despite competition from similar shows at the time, merchandising was released in Japan.<ref name=tesis/>

The series premiered in Spain in 1982, and it only aired on [[La 1 (Spanish TV channel)|TVE1]] due to scheduling problems. This marked the premiere of the series in Europe.<ref name=tesis/> Before long, it was sold to numerous TV channels around the world, including [[Rádio e Televisão de Portugal|RTP]] in Portugal, [[RAI]] in Italy, the [[BBC Television|BBC]] in the United Kingdom and [[TF1]] in France, to high ratings.<ref>Interview given to Toni García and Claudio Biern Boyd ahead of the release of the ''Dogtanian'' film, ''La Abadía de Berzano'' blog, 19 August 2021.</ref> In Brazil, it aired on [[Rede Manchete]] in 1984 as part of the children's show ''[[Clube da Criança]]'' when [[Xuxa Meneghel]] was its host. It was repeated until 1986 on other children's programs shown on the network. The success of the show in Brazil caused Editora Riográfica (later [[Editora Globo]]) to import the comics based on the series from Spain. In the mid-2000s, the compilation film, released there under the home video title ''Lord Dog'', aired on [[TV Brasília]] in the period when the station had disaffiliated itself from [[RedeTV!]].<ref>[https://www.jbox.com.br/materias/dartagnan-e-os-tres-mosqueteiros/ Dartagnan e os Três Mosqueteiros]</ref>

The series was dubbed into English by Intersound USA in 1985. As well as dubbing the TV series, BRB also produced a TV film, which was again dubbed by Intersound USA. The series was first broadcast in the United Kingdom on the BBC on January 3, 1985 and on [[The Disney Channel]] in the United States from 1986 to 1988.

The series can be found on different platforms such as [[YouTube]],<ref name=ytb>{{cite web|title=Dogtanian and the Three Muskehounds Complete Series at BRB Internacional official YouTube channel|url=https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL69D7192AA7C700F9|access-date=12 December 2020|website=[[YouTube]]}}</ref> [[Netflix]] and [[ITVX]] in the United Kingdom.

===Soundtrack===
The original version of the soundtrack to ''Dogtanian'' (called ''Dartacan Soundtrack'') can be downloaded from Amazon's UK website in MP3 format. It includes an English version of the theme song that uses the second series opening lyrics, but the music is similar to the original opening. In this version Dogtanian is referred to as Dartacan, his Spanish name, and the theme is sung with high voices, similar to the original opening, and rendered in a style reminiscent of the French dub. It includes insert song in Spanish which has been replicated twice (Richelieu and Bulibu, probably an error on Amazon's part or that of the record company) and a few instrumental tracks that are heard in the show itself and one unused instrumental track.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.amazon.co.uk/Dartacan-Soundtrack/dp/B002Z5MGKU |title=Dartacan Soundtrack |publisher=Amazon |access-date=20 November 2012}}</ref>
