Dogtanian and the Three Muskehounds is an animated cartoon adaptation of the classic Alexandre
Dumas story of d’Artagnan and The Three Musketeers. Most of the characters are anthropomorphizations of dogs, hence the title of the cartoon. Exceptions to this are the temptress Milady (a cat); Pip, Dogtanian’s sidekick mouse; the avian jewel thief Blue Falcon; Planchet (a bear), Dogtanian’s main servant; and some random townspeople and guards of the Cardinal.
The story, set in the 17th century, follows a young Dogtanian (D’Artacan in the original Spanish version and voiced by Cam Clarke in the English version, and Darutaniyan in the Japanese version and voiced by Satomi Majima) who travels to Paris in order to become one of the King Louis XIII of France’s musketeers. (Note; that 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) and falls in love with Juliette, a maid-in-waiting for Queen Anne of Austria.

Loved this as a kid. Sure as you say it would be blamed for a rise in knife crimes or something if it was around today.
Possibly one of the greatest theme tunes to a childrens tv show.

@kim21,
Great theme tune. But it has strong competition from other great childrens theme tunes like ’80 Days Around the World’ and ‘Jase and the Wheeled Warriors’.
Great show. Never jumped.

Not actually seen this in years, but I remember it well from the Classic Era of CBBC (bring back the broom cupboard and Andy Crane, or Philip Schofield!).
If I recall correctly, Milady gave Cheetara stiff competition in the “oddly arousing female character anthropomorphisised a cat” category. And I used to work opposite a guy who was uncannily similar to Dogtanian, although, to be fair, he didn’t spend all day jabbing people with his rapier.
With all the hoo-hah about knives just now, could a programme heavily featuring sword-play – albeit wielded by pooches – even be shown?
