I LOVE THIS INTERPRETATION SO MUCH! From here on out, this litter will be known as the Stratigraphy (strat) dogs.
When I made these dogs I actually didn't really base them on anything. I just let them happen. However, I don't know how many of you guys know this, but I actually just wrote my last exam for my degree, which happens to be in Archaeology. One of the important things in the discipline is understanding relative ages, through layers of dirt and rock (stratigraphy). SO this makes this oddly meaningful and important to my life even though that was never the intention at all.
Moona, THANK YOU FOR THAT GUESS! You have made me very happy.
Also:

This dog is being listed as "Green nebula", but I'd propose to adopt a different name for it, because there already is a pet with this name:

(In fact, that entire litter is already known as Nebula Litter, and it preceeds the other dogs by three years.)
I know the wiki calls it "toxic green", but to be honest I've never heard that as a commonly used name for it. It's always been just... green. Same with the Teal Curly.
I've been hoarding them since they came out, and never heard anyone call them anything other than just Green, Teal, Blue and Mohawk.
