Nintendogs + Cats 3DS breeds revealed, tears Joystiq staff apart

Civil war has broken out among three distinct factions of the Joystiq staff, each swearing allegiance to one of the three different versions of Nintendogs + Cats that are due out alongside the 3DS on March 27. The rifts were formed after Nintendo updated the games' official Japanese site, revealing the different breeds contained within each cartridge -- little did they know that by doing so, they'd be forging hostilities between a group of online writers and, more notably, best friends.

Look, we hate to make you choose sides, but we need to know where you stand. Check out the breeds below, and sound off in the comments. Unless, of course, you don't choose to join the glorious army of Shiba Inu and Friends. If that's the case, you can keep your stupid opinions to yourself.
