On his journey he falls foul of [[TheDragon a mysterious cavalier]], the [[BadassMoustache Man with the Black Moustache]], and ends up walking to Paris with no money and a broken sword. He arrives at last and [[CrashIntoHello falls in]] with the [[PowerTrio trio]] of friends known as the Three Musketeers: leader [[StandardizedLeader Porthos]], portly [[BigEater Athos]] and romantic [[BadassBookworm Aramis]] (the book roles of Athos and Porthos are swapped).

Dogtanian's spirit and swordsmanship soon make him an indispensible part of the team, and he settles down to a life of duelling with the Cardinal's Guards, wooing the lovely [[DistressedDamsel Juliette]] and foiling villainous plots against nice-but-weak King Louis and his wife Anne of Austria. His [[SeriesGoal ultimate aim]] is to prove himself and be accepted into the ranks of the Musketeers.

* TheAllegedSteed: Sandy, given to Dogtanian by his father.

* BadassDamsel: Juliette isn't usually much of a badass (though she is competent), but she has her moments, particularly the one when she gives Rochefort's squire a sound thrashing ''while [[BoundAndGagged tied up in a sack]]''.
* TheBigGuy - Athos.
* TheCasanova - Aramis.

* ChasedByAngryNatives - Rather incongruously.
* CrashIntoHello
* DamselInDistress: at one point Rochefort kidnaps Juliette. Subverted when Dogtanian's rescue attempt fails and she then escapes on her own.
* TheDragon - Count Rochefort

* RookieRedRanger - Dogtanian.

* WorthyOpponent - Count Rochefort, who turns out to be a man of honour.

Young Dogtanian is a child of poor but honest parents, living in a small village in Gascony, scrapping with his puppy pals and dreaming of becoming a Musketeer (the title notwithstanding, they're called "Musketeers" throughout). When [[CallToAdventure a messenger arrives]] from his father's old friend [[DaChief Monsieur de Treville]], head of the Musketeers, asking that Dogtanian be sent to Paris to train under him, our hero sets off armed with a [[CoolSword sword]], a decrepit old horse and an [[HealingPotion ointment that can heal any wound]].

Anyone who grew up in the UK and Spain in the 1980s will almost certainly remember this show, as it seemed to be on permanent loop along with ''Anime/TheMysteriousCitiesOfGold'' and ''WesternAnimation/AroundTheWorldWithWillyFog''. A sequel series was made in 1990 that continued with a new story.

* WouldntHurtAChild - This is where Richelieu draws the line, even if they're Dogtanian's kids.

* Animesque: Not surprising, as many 80s cartoons were often outsourced to Japan. It definitely shows in the characters facial expressions.

''Dogtanian and the Three Muskehounds'' is a 1981 cartoon [[AnimatedAdaptation based on the novel]] ''Literature/TheThreeMusketeers'' by AlexandreDumas. The cartoon was created by Spanish animation studio BRB Internacional and co-produced in Japan by Nippon Animation.

* ArtEvolution: The 1990 sequel series switched from Japanese studio NipponAnimation to Taiwanese studio WangFilmProductions. As such, Wang's animation is much noticeably different than Nippon's in color and design.

* ChasedByAngryNatives, rather incongruously.

** Ironically, the three musketeers had punny names in Spanish too: Antos, Pontos and Amis. The puns come from the original character names and dog breed names.

* SmallAnnoyingCreature, TheScrappy - Pip the mouse (whose surname is Squeak).

* DubNameChange - Dogtanian is "D'Artacán" in the original Spanish.

* HeyItsThatVoice - Dogtanian is CamClarke.
** Widimer is [[{{Digimon}} Old Gennai]].
** Eduardo Jover, Dogtanian's original voice actor, was Richard Dean Anderson's voice actor in the Spanish dub of MacGyver. He has also voiced famous actors like Robert Carlyle, Pierce Brosnan, Steve Gutemberg and James Belushi.
