Help me remember the name of this obscure Cartoon

I spent a couple hours tonight YouTubing old cartoon intros (yeah, my weekends suck) and I found pretty much everything I was looking for. However, it occurred to me that there was one cartoon I recall as a child (late 80s-early 90s) that I haven't seen or heard of since. Google searches yielded no accurate results.

Here's the best description I can recall:
The cartoon starred a bunch of bi-pedal dogs/puppies who were able to sniff out invisible doors, but they had to find a key or something to unlock them, at which point they would become visible.

That's the best I can do. Does it ring any bells?

Holy Mcjesus that was fast. Thanks! I was starting to question whether it ever existed!

Not a problem.

I can't believe, myself, that the title came to mind so readily, rather than setting me pondering it with you. <_< I think I might have seen it once, when it first aired, and hardly thought of it since.

Heh. Fluppy Dogs. I was just thinking about that one, the other day—never even THOUGHT to check for it on YouTube.

And upon checking said videos on YouTube...Sweet Jesus, did you check out the frame rate on that animation? Gor-fuckin'-orgeous.

Come to think of it, a lot of Disney animated series' from about the mid-eighties to the early 90s had production values like that (New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh stands out, particularly), then everything went to pot. Hell, even the later seasons of some late 80s Disney shows started looking shoddy.

*sigh* Probably budget cuts, or something. Just not profitable enough to make a nice-looking product when some slipshod crap smeared on a cel will sell just as easily.
