Description(s)
Descriptions are example(s) from a single individual. Variations may be numerous, and dependent upon species, gender, age, location, and other variables.
Anhk-Morpork
Dog [Large/Small]
The small patched dog is very hairy. She looks a bit sad and lost in the streets of Ankh-Morpork. She would likely prefer a cat flap and a nice hot meal every night, no?
- Alignment: Neutral
Bes Pelargic
Shiba Dog
The Shiba has been a native breed to Agatea since the primitive ages. The word "Shiba" originally refers to something "small", a "small dog". The Shiba's habitat was in the mountainous area facing the Sea of Agatea and was used as a hunting dog for small animals and birds.
- Alignment: Neutral
- There are many different breeds in Bes Pelargic, each with own description. Breeds include Auriental spitz, chow chow, hairless, HungHungese, sausage dog, shiba, shih-tzu, Sum Dim crested, and yum yum.
Chronides Farmstead
Dog [adult] This vicious dog is an Ephebian sheepdog. She is a fiercely protective yet loveable dog. She has bright grey eyes, a thick long grayish-brown coat which is extremely scraggly, and a distinctively short tail.
- Alignment: Details needed.
Dog [puppy]
This fat puppy is a Molossus with a wide, short muzzle and a heavy dewlap. He is brave and versatile, a very useful work dog for hunting, herding animals, guarding the house, and doing a variety of serious jobs around the farm. He has clear orange eyes and short, wirey cream fur.
- Alignment: Details needed.
Escrow
Sheepdog
This is a very old and very lazy sheepdog who spends most of her time sleeping in the most comfy place she can find. If she wasn't breathing it would be hard to tell she was alive.
- Alignment: Details needed.
Ohulan Cutash
Spaniel
This mangy white spaniel is one of the many canine inhabitants of Ohulan-Cutash. She spends her days wandering the streets, trying to keep out of trouble.
- Alignment: Neutral
- While there are many different breeds in Ohulan Cutash, descriptions are very similar.
Sto Lat
Mongrel
This tough little character is definitely not a pedigree. In fact, it's hard to say what he is. Something about his nose suggests a trace of wire-haired terrier somewhere in his ancestry, but the rest remains a mystery.
- Alignment: Neutral
- There are many different breeds in Bes Pelargic, each with own description. Breeds include beagle, foxhound, greyhound, hound, papillion, poodle, retriever, shepherd, spaniel, terrier, and wolfhound. Non-breeds include cur, dog, and mongrel.
Sur
Painted Dog [adult] - Klatch (Savanna)
This is a gangly, restless wild dog, with long legs and movements as skittish as a cat's. His short black coat is spattered with tan blotches, and his large, round ears are pricked towards you. A bushy, half-length tail waves behind him.
- Alignment: Neutral
Painted Dog [puppy] - Klatch (Savanna)
This is a tiny chubby wild puppy, with a snub nose and hardly any ears. His short black coat is blotched with white and tan, and a little scrap of a tail waves behind him.
- Alignment: Neutral
Ramtop Sheepdog - Lower Ramtops (Grasslands, Forest)
This is a shaggy sheepdog. He is wagging his tail happily, and appears to be keeping a close eye out for runaway sheep.
- Alignment: Neutral
