Sprocket!

[MokeynSprocket]

Sprocket is my number one favorite on Fraggle Rock. However, I do not even know what type of dog he is. If anyone knows what type of dog Sprocket is, please let me know! Thanks!

By the way, who can name the first episode Sprocket sung in?

Bye!

I'm not very good with dog breeds at all, but I think Sprocket has some Scottish Terrior in him. But there are also chances that he could be a mutt (if you consider the tail).

PS: I know I'm not much of a fan as most everyone else here is, but--Sprocket can sing?!

My Granny's dog lloks like Sprocket but it's utterly spastic.

[Giar Fraggle]

Well, Sprocket can sing because Steve can sing. :p

As for breeds, well, I don't think he is one. I think he's just supposed to be a generic-type dog. Like Rowlf, he's a dog but I'd like to see anyone try to place a breed on him. :sympathy:

The only song I can think of where Sprocket sings is You Can Count On Me in episode A Friend In Need. :smirk:

Congrats congrats Mrs. Wembley. A Friend in Need is the first episode Sprocket sung in. You're good!


Morgan Clueless, after you posted that Sprocket may be a Scottish Terrior, I googled a few images. Sprocket does resemble Terriors in some pictures, however, Sprocket seems to have a much wider face. I wish we could pinpoint exactly what type of dog Sprocket is. For some reason, I truly think it is possible to train a dog in the same manner Doc has trained Sprocket.

Can anyone guess what wonderful television show my avatar is from? I bet not! The only person who knows is "Janice and Mokey's Man." Please don't spoil the answer Janice and Mokey's Man. Thanks.

You mean you could train a dog to play Charades? I'd like to see that...

I know what it is. "Under the Umbrella Tree"

He's a sheepdog.

[MokeynSprocket]

BOOBER GORG, you are awesome! Thank you so much for finding such a close resemblance of Sprocket. I googled images of "sheepdogs," and found so many Sprocket lookalikes. I haven't found the 100% target, but sheepdogs are very very close to looking like Sprocket.

ERNIE81981, Great Job! How did you know it was Under the Umbrella Tree? Did you watch this incredibly wonderful puppet show?

EVERYONE ELSE: For those who doubted the possibility of a real life Sprocket, I think otherwise. If you can train a dog to interpret "sit," then you can also train a dog to intrepret the word "pliers." In Fraggle Rock, there is nothing out of the ordinary that Sprocket has done. Sprocket always barks, just like normal dogs. Sprocket walks on all four legs, just like normal dogs. Sprocket occasionally stands on two legs, just like normal dogs. Sprocker cries or whimpers when he is frightened or lonely, just like normal dogs. Sprocket licks Doc frequently, just like a normal dog would. Sprocket loves to chew, just like normal dogs. Sprocket just seems to be smarter than normal dogs, thats all. Think about it, some dogs know how to open closed doors. That is, some dogs are actually smart enough to think about twisting knobs. Also, think about how smart circus animals are. Better yet, think about how smart trained dolphins are! It's all about time and effort. As you can see from Fraggle Rock, Doc spent the vast majority of his time around Sprocket, and always gave Sprocket scientific facts about nature. Therefore, it is possible, with the right amount of training, to have a dog in the same manner that Doc had Sprocket. So, within the next few years or so, I plan to own a dog just like Sprocket. Anyway, feel free to comment!
