Man's best friend a creature bred for friendship, hunter's aid, and police work. They have been by humankind's side for16.000 to 32.000 years and are mankind's best invention only on par with cats, porn, beer, and the internet. They are loyal and fierce, masking that with goofiness.
They've been bred into different forms over the countless millennia; from protection to fighting and even pulling carts. There are even dogs that can out cancer.
Origins
A long time ago when mankind was a bunch of hunter gatherers we left a trail of scrapes that attracted predators and soon they started following us. One of these were wolves, eventually they became useful to humans, seeing the use of having animals that can be used for guarding and hunting. They kept the wolves, and over time somebody had the genius idea of breeding based on certain traits and soon this caused an artificial evolutionary tree. Through primitive genetic engineering selectively breeding things like fluffy coats for surviving colder weathers, thick skin for fighting other dogs, search and rescue and so on. Over 36.000 years they have been bred for millions of different tasks, but have also been one of the most wide spread companions they have even been sent into the Black reaches of space.
Breeds
Like dragons from D&D dogs have multiple breeds gaining different traits.
- Golden retriever a gun dog trained to retrieve waterfowl [Ducks and upland game] that have been shot at by their hunter, The golden retriever has gone on to be the most common breed of dog people think of when they think of dog.
A very badass retriever.
- Labradors Another gun dog [No they don't Wield guns as bad ass as that would be, their another well known dog very good for being assistance dogs for the blind or disabled and are very athletic, their three different types, Chocolate, black, yellow, kinda like Elves except not extremely stupid or egotistical, Hey dog elves would be awesome.
- German shepherds A working dog originally bred for herding sheep has now become a well known working dog, from being in combat zones, to K-9 units, to air port security this is the dog well known for their strength and speed a all around working dog, though can actually be friendly and loving companions, originally from you guessed it Germany, though this dog would probably neuter any member of /pol/ in a heart beat, the dog was registered in Germany and had been put too use in both WW1 and WW2 and was introduced to the us after some soldier brought these dogs back to the U.S. Hell Warner brothers had their ass saved by these dogs with Rin tin tin.
- Chihuahuas one of the smallest dogs besides the Yorkie they originated in mexico though their origins are still debated the most a lot of information from ancient Meso american cultures possible linking them to Mayan and Aztec civilizations, another thing that their associated with is their rage and viciousness for such tiny little dogs and of course barking, on the bright side their real life cutebolds.
- Staffordshire Terriers/Pit Bulls: Khorne's favorite breed. Once considered to be one of the best dog breeds around, their reputation has been severely tarnished by either neglectful owners (usually of the trailer trash and ghetto variety) and/or dog-fighting rings. It doesn't help that they are a fiercely protective and active breed. However, under the right owners and care, they have been known to be hilariously goofy, rivaling even Labradors in shenanigans.
- Corgis: Officially endorsed by Her Royal Highness, so you know they're good. This Welsh breed of short and stumpy dogs is actually featured in Welsh mythology as "fairy dogs," and may be used as mounts by the Little People. As if they weren't already adorable enough.
