@Jessica​ ok, I changed to

TV/Movie Stars

@urbanemovies​ I understand, but my problem now is time. All this suggestions I made during the pandemic. Now I not even suggesting new ideas anymore, just bumping old ones and making some small/quick contributions to other members ... thanks for the advice anyway, when I can I'll research  further.

@mariojacobs​,

I can appreciate that. Maybe, you should prioritize poll suggestions that are getting a lot of comments first, then comment, then bump old polls, and only do new polls for timely and/or strong ideas. You seem to have more poll suggestions now than you can manage. Plus, your polls seem to all have introductions, which are time-intensive to manage, correct and maintain. So, simpler polls may help reduce the burden a bit.

@urbanemovies​ 

>your polls seem to all have introductions, which are time-intensive to manage, correct and maintain.

You are right. But I like to add a little information/trivia/fun stuff/description + source. Curiously, historically the 2 most voted polls have just 16 words (+50000 votes) and 8 words (+45000 votes), including the question!

@Pencho15​ done.

@urbanemovies​ thank you, all included. I personally think that 20-25 is the perfect number of items in a poll list. 35 demands too much scrolling up and down and makes the decision making more difficult, IMHO.

@Jessica​ Good one, I liked that movie.

@Jessica​ 👍included.

@mariojacobs 

I would take a look at the vote titles on these four, I think they are all under 500 votes. The main thing they have going for them is the German Shepard is the second lead in the movie. I just want to make sure you are aware and comfortable listing them. I probably would have waited until I exhausted all other options first, including listing more animated dog characters.

@urbanemovies​ 

Maximillion aka "Max" (Biopic Dog)

@urbanemovies​ thank you, that's a lot of information, I hope I have processed it right. If I missed something you can just copy&paste your previous text to save time...

Since I am asking 

Which ...  dog character is your favorite?

the list can have DIFFERENT characters with the same name. (2 Rin Tin Tins, one in the fort Apache the other one in the North Pole)

• • @mariojacobs​, Being in different locations doesn't mean they are not the same character, plus it is not like we are talking about common names like, Rex or Buddy here. I would be more convinced if they were set in different time periods. But, the real issue is you have one of the dogs characters incorrectly listed.

  Still Outstanding Issues

  • The character is "The Wolf-Dog" in Where the North Begins, not "Rin Tin Tin".
  • You have two Rusty listed from the same film series, so one of those should be removed.
  • Plus, the dog's name in North Star is "North Star", not "Strongheart".
  • The I Am Legend dog is Samantha, so I would list her as Samantha aka "Sam". 
  • I think "Charlie Barkin" from the movie, All Dogs Go to Heaven, "Chase" from either the movie or TV series, Paw Patrol and "Buttons" from the TV series, Animaniacs should make the list without question. 
  • Remove Buck and the Magic Bracelet with its 39 votes and others that are lowly rated and lightly voted titles to make room for better rated and more popular options or simply to remove the dead weight from the answer pool.

@mariojacobs,

Personally, I think at about ten or so answer options, there are too many under 1000 IMBd voted titles on this list.

While, I agree some should be kept for other reasons, like the title being an important real-life German Shepard biopic, a highly rated or award-winning title, an important dog actor that needs to be represented, or another compelling reason.

I can't say the same for these six titles that are likely to get no votes and think they should be taken off the list. There are better options available that are not listed currently (see notes above) or the open answer slot has value, as it allows for an important German Shepard character to be added in the future.

Of the double listed Rusty options, either 'For the Love of Rusty' or 'Adventures of Rusty' should be removed to get one title to represent the character. The two dog actors, Ace the Wonder Dog and Flame Jr., who portray Rusty each have another character in your poll already.

Still Outstanding Issues

thanks, I think I got all issues fixed.

Saxon has got no images on IMDb. I checked the Hot Fuzz movie page.

I added one good option from @ACT_1 list suggestions. Lots of dogs, but I found only a few german shepherds.

@mariojacobs​, 

New Outstanding Issues

• There are better Hobo images available now. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078644/mediaindex/?ref_=tt_mv_sm
• There is a non-poster image version available for Shephard: The Story of a Jewish Dog https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3278810/mediaviewer/rm2095076352/

• The two dog actors on SEAL Team (2017) are Belgian Shepard and Dutch Shepard, so Cerberus should be removed from the answer pool. ##https://meaww.com/seal-team-season-4-episode-3-cerberus-death-retire-meet-pepper-dita-sister-canine-hero-cbs-show##
  

  
• I not sure about including Saxon played by Sampson. His handler, PC Bob Walker is a minor character in the film and the 21st listed actor in the credits. So, he wasn't featured prominently in the movie or had a lot of screentime. The only redeeming factor is Hot Fuzz is well-seen with over 500,000 IMDb votes to date. I guess I can see the case for and against both ways.

https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2597249/mediaviewer/rm37626369/?ref_=nm_ov_ph

• A far as bit part dogs go, I would be more inclined to include Max, aka "Wolfie" played by Beowolf, James Cameron's pet German Shepard in 'Terminator' and 'Terminator 2' as the movies were well-seen and the dog scenes memorable.  https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088247/mediaindex?refine=nm0000157&ref_=ttmi_ref_nm
• The one good option, Diggs, you added from ACT_1 lists of suggestions is now listed twice on your list @ #13 and #34.

• Sorry, I messed up on the phrasing of the question. The corrected version is "Which of these movie or television German Shepherd dog characters is your favorite?"

• Is this really a viable option at 84 votes???
  
  
• Is this really a viable option at 46 votes???
  

@urbanemovies​ 

>????? Do you recognize the actor in the red track suit?

Looks like Bruce Lee.

Thanks for all the suggestions, I removed the non German Shepherds.

I guess I fixed the list. If I delete now the 2 low-rated movies, I ran out of new better options.

I really liked the Terminator dog. He has only seconds of screen time, but the scene is memorable. They could smell machines:

@dan_dassow @Peter_pbn changes done.

@mariojacobs​,

I guess I fixed the list. If I delete now the 2 low-rated movies, I ran out of new better options

• The question still needs fixing.
• I disagree, there always better options for <100 vote answers, unless there is another compelling reason to list them. It is waste of an answer slot and limits your options going forward. Personally, I would split the list along TV(TV series & TV movies) and Theatrical Movie lines. I think there are at least 25-30 solid options for both.
• The dog's name is Max from the Terminator film series, not "Wolfie".
