In 1976, one of two posters leaned away from both (human) caricature and carnage, in order to focus more heavily on amazing doberman action.

Evidently this didn't work, as they re-released it two years later under a new title that disregarded dogs completely.

oddly this franchise never quite seemed to win over americans' hearts like Benji.
― Doctor Casino, Thursday, 14 January 2021 19:08 (three years ago) link
four flicks ain't bad tbh
plus from C.H.O.M.P.S upthread
'(Joe) Barbera recalled that (Z.) Arkoff's son Louis suggested that rather than a Doberman, the dog would have to be a non-threatening dog in the Benji mold. Barbera attributes this change in focus in the story to the film's lackluster performance at the box office. In his autobiography, Barbera wrote that the film "did okay... but it never made the splash it should have." Because of this, the future film deals between Hanna-Barbera and AIP were canceled.'Also from wikipedia, it was originally released as a PG film in American summer, then edited for dog profanity and reissued as a G at Christmas.
