Update: I just talked about it with my sister, and she said it could be a cartoon named "Triple Z". Could this be it?
Oo oo ah ah

Ok, I'm now 97% certain it is indeed Triple Z.
Oo oo ah ah
Thanks to the Media Finder, I think I finally found the identity of an Animesque Mon show I saw when I was a young lad (Mix-Masters).
Then I remembered I also had to find another cartoon I saw sometimes when I was a kid. As in, back when I was less than 9 years old. So a looooooooot of time ago.
I think it was a Western animated show from the 80s or 90s, looking back, but there's always the possibility that I couldn't distinguish between styles from different decades at such a young age, or that it was 2000s cartoon made with outdated technology.
Anyway, it was at least broadcasted in Italy during the early 2000s, between 2004 and 2006 for certain.
I remember it being a French animation, or European at least. I don't know why. Maybe it was the names of the characters or shown in the credits that looked French to me, even if I was a stupid lil baby AND I didn't actually memorize the names themselves; but I still think that it could've been something France would make.
As for the setting: it's a World of Funny Animals, the two main characters are two wolf-like Funny Animals, and they have a sidekick that's like a young girl; I remember them being pilots of some kinds in their daily lives (either racecars or spaceships).
The premise was built around two or three magical shields: one red, one blue and one green (maybe), and they possibly could merge. I don't remember what powers they had exactly, but they looked like that they were pretty powerful nonetheless. And the main characters had to search all these magical shields.
The main antagonist was a villainess, possibly a reptile or amphibian; once again, I have a very nonsensically specific memory of one of the scenes, where she was taking a bath and singing, and her singing was SO horrible that they flushed her down the tub so they didn't have to listen to her.
I feel like this will be harder to find than Mix-Master, since this was probably a more obscure show, which I watched back when I was even younger, and I fear some of the things I said are incorrect and just make it harder to identify the show.
But I'm confident that the premise of Funny Animals with magic shields is unique enough it could help, and that I could add it to my Special Ability Shield one day.
