The end credits list the names of some of the dogs that appear in the film: Dany, Perla, Toy, Macoco, Papi, Melania, Verta, Cero and Sombrita.
Bigas Luna cast his then wife Consol Tura for the protagonist female role of this film, which became controversial with the polemic bestiality scenes - including one instance in which Tura's character invites her poodle to lick honey out of her vagina.
Retrospectively, as the director confesses in a interview, Caniche was an hard experience for Tura.
