2 Pups. I didn't mind Hulmey to be honest. One of the few after 2001 who looked like he cared.

So only one out of 700 or so players has this sort of nickname?
Junk Yard Dog or Brown Dog(As in harder to kill than a...) was a common reference for Fraser.

I see, but I stand by my original point. Not sure I'd like to be referred to as a dog, of whatever breed and for whatever reason. Laidley hated his nickname, and with good reason IMO.

It was a media nickname only; none of his teammates, etc used it. Brown Dog, on the other hand, seems to be occasionally assigned to folks with the surname Brown.
When I was a young bloke “brown dog” was used in reference to folk who weren’t particular about their sexual partners, ie, “He/she would bonk a brown dog with three legs.”

A term I heard used for shaggers of all sorts as in "randier than a brown dog"............inferring that a brown dog would shag anything that moved! I think the inference there on the "brown dog" is that they are associated in the outback with extreme circumstances. Amazing stories of survival, etc., etc..
But I'm sure in VFL / AFL circles it was more likely about being harder/tougher than nails.
What about someone like Snake Jones, as in madder than a cut snake?

So apart from maybe "harder to kill than a brown dog", which I guess implies a certain indestructibility, all the other "dog" connotations are fairly negative ?

I used to know a guy called "Python" Hayes, based on urban legend. I never had visual confirmation myself I hasten to add.

I don't know why.
Dogs are loyal, loving creatures who would genuinely take a bullet for their owners. Intelligent and loyal.
I have no idea why dogs get such negative connotations.
