Yukon's dogs

Ever notice that Yukon's dogs mysteriously disappear and reappear over the course of the story?

They're seen on the sled when it gets on the ice flow that Yukon separates to escape from the Bumble. They're seen on the sled as it's floating towards the Island Of Misfit Toys. When the ice reaches the island, the dogs are gone! When Yukon and Hermie search for Rudolph at the cave of the Bumble, the dogs are back pulling sled!

I forget if the dogs show up again at the end when Yukon drags in the Bumble on his sled into Santa's castle.

Noticed one was actually a poodle and kept looking for it, and yes, sometimes it's there and sometimes not.

There's a poodle, a dachshund, a St. Bernard, a collie, and a beagle. An odd assortment of dogs, to be sure!

The kind of dogs he had didn't bother me as much as a kid, but after having malamutes and huskies as pets later on in my child/teen-hood, I can tell you that Yukon's dogs are the LAST kind of breeds you'd want to pull a sled. However, since it's a cartoon and the animators probably chose those dog breeds as a gag, they can get away with his rather small and "diverse" sled team.
