I think I need to upload this little mod, I have relized this is a mod I could not find and thought it may be nice to upload it for everyone else.

DOGS OF WAR

_______________________________________

What I was tired of was the basic multicolored mutts they have in DF, The dogs with white ears black paws brown head and gold tales... they make no sense ans really frustrated me.

So I started modding it to give them solid colors but then decided to go a step farther.
why cant the dogs take on many shapes and sized?
____________________________________________________________________________________


While I was modding I decided that it was important to keep this lore friendly.
however I had to use real world dog breeds to preserve a mental image.
so as a compromise I listed the greater breeds of dogs, thus dodging any reference to real world locations.
for example -  I would not be using a germane Shepherd since clearly it states Germany, 

The list of dogs is available.

hounds
terriers
bulldogs
pugs
mastiffs
spaniels
shepherds
boxers
beagles
collies
sheepdogs
chihuahua
retrievers
pinscher
greatdane
greyhound
husky
harrier
setter
spitz
dalmation
rottweiler
corgi
pointer

I encurage anyone to try this mod and any suggestions are welcome.
------------------------------

The second link is for those who do not wish the name of each dog to be listed but instead to require looking in the description to locate your dogs breed.  : P  just to be considerate!

I hope you all enjoy Dizzies mod! She will be back with more if this one gets enough attention!

And! we are Open baby!

How should I say this... all your dog breeds are one creature, with different castes...this means that your bulldogs will give birth to spitz and your chihuahua give birth to mastiffs... and so forth.

You have to make one seperate creature for each dog race.

[Trev_lite]

could you make it so that they will be the same creature but the puppies will belong to the breed of a parent?

that way they can all interbreed but you would not get puppies of a random breed.

no idea how to do this though.

(you could make it so that the toy, miniature, regular and large dogs cannot interbreed but making the breeds not interbreed doesn't seem right)

Not really. There is only one way that I can think of doing it, and it would be hoops as fuck. Unless you really want to do some crazy modding work "no" is probably just a simpler answer.

Spoiler: The crazy workaround: (click to show/hide)

This involves some transforming, and a little bit of luck, and could potentially act a little weird if you stuff a whole lot of dogs into one area or have dogs giving birth in cages.
1)Make your dog breed castes have incredibly low chances of being born, and then have a generic "puppy" caste with a huge chance of being born (say 1 to 10000000 caste ratios). This should mean that 99.9999% of baby dogs born are of the generic "puppy" caste.
2)Give female dogs an interaction with no usage hints and short range 1-3 tiles, that transforms dogs of the "puppy" caste into dogs of their specific caste.

The end result should be that new puppies are born as the generic caste, at which point the mother instantly transforms them into their respective breed. Note that doing this would also make your dogs immune to further transformations, since they are technically already transformed. Also note that there is a chance this may make it so that you have a bunch of fully grown "puppies" wandering around until you finally get a dog of a given breed, at which point all of your puppies will slowly be transformed into that given breed. Puppies will also take the breed of their mothers, regardless of who the father dog is.

Great list of dogs, but DF has no interbreeding, so you have to make them unique creatures or have corgi give birth to mastiffs.

[DizzyCrash]

this did cross my mind but I rationalizes it like this!
In real life a chihuahua can mix bread with a mastiff it is 100% possible if they were to mate... a tragic process as it is but it is possible.
and since Df animals don't list both parents as marital status is not required for domestic pets when your mastiff gives births to a corgi pup we can only assume your dog found a corgi male and figured out the mechanics for themselves.

You have to make one seperate creature for each dog race.

yes but if i made them each there own species they wouldnt be able to mix breed at all and in reality if a chihuahua can figure out how to get up there they could make a puppy.
but i do see the problem but i cant see a better salution to be honest... if thy are all there own species your dogs breeding would be alot less common as it will be harder to find that pure bred mate.

perhaps one day i will release a optional download to seperate casts from full creatures for those who cant overlook this little abomination.

[DizzyCrash]

I hope the this problem isnt a game breaker ^ ^

Interesting list of dog groups. However, if your goal was to remove real world geographic names, you'll need to take out at least four of them. Great Danes are named after Denmark. Rotweillers are named for the town of Rotweill in southwest Germany. Chihuahuas are named for the city and state of Chihuahua in Mexico. And Dalmatians are named for Dalmatia, on the west coast of the Balkan Pensinsula.
