TNG has shown us that the only pets people have on ships are cats. And it's well known that Roddenberry explicitly said that Dogs do not exist anymore.
THEY ARE CHANGING CONTINUITY BY HAVING CANINES! FUCK YOU BERMAN YOU FUCKING FUCKER! IGNORE GENERATIONS AND AQIEL!
-------------------- Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

Oh, great. Now Liam's gone nuts, too. What's the world coming to?
I'd be willing to bet that Porthos will be a large retriever of some sort. Maybe a golden or labrador retriever. I think a dog like that would fit in with what we know of Archer's personality. I really don't think he'll have a poodle or a Chihuahua or a miniature Schnauzer.

Speaking of animals, does anyone know that dolphins have gained sentience in the 24th-cenutry? There are some on the Enterprise-D, according to the Blueprints. They even have workstations!

I don't think it's ever been mentioned in Star Trek. But the blueprints to the Enterprise-D and the TNG Technical Manual both make mention of dolphin being employed in a navigation position. Whether that means they've been granted sentience is another matter.

The dolphins have been mentioned once, in "The Perfect Mate", though they could have been in fishtanks for all the viewers knew. I don't see why they shouldn't be mentioned in the Trek Canon... After all, they are the second most intelligent species native to Earth, after the mice.

I dunno, mice are pretty smart. The NASA-funded lab here at my college is training lab mice to build thermonuclear devices.

In "Yesterday's Enterprise", there is an intercom message for Dr. Joshua Kim to report to Cetecean Ops. Source: Rick Sternbach.

While I'm agreed that Archer's more of a big dog guy, having a big drooling labrador romping down those cramped corridors would be a director's nightmare. A smaller dog, from a purely logical standpoint, would be a bit easier to work with. Now, the only small dogs that Hollywood has ever managed to not make all prissy and delicate have been terriers, but keeping in mind Mad about You and Frasier, might it be a bit retreadish?

Monkey: Go read the Hitchhiker's Trilogy. Don't come back 'til you do.
Going to Rigel and back at warp five, are they? I guess we don't need to worry about continuity, then. If that happens in the first episode, then, by the second episode, the Romulan War will be over, and the Federation will be four-and-a-half years old...

If keeping to Sternbach's warp scales was a continuity matter, then most everybody here would have given up on the franchise decades ago.
