I had to do a little research for the domestic dogs, since there were so many of them, and the Godbeast's help, I think I found all the info I needed to get going.
PHYLUM: CHORDATA
Subphylum: Verbrata
CLASS: MAMMALIA
Subclass: Eutheria
ORDER: CARNIVORA
FAMILY: CANIDAE
35 species in 10 genera
Canids originated in North America about 55-34 million years ago (in the Eocene epoch). Today, they are found worldwide except in places such as Madagascar, New Zealand and Antarctica (excluding domestic breeds of course).
Several groups of Canids live in family units called packs. Including the Red & Artic Foxes and the Grey Wolf.
Domesticated dogs are believed to be the decedents of Wolves, with the earliest known domestic dog fossil dating at about 14,000 years ago. Although the precise reasons for domestication are unknown, it is generally believed that Wolves were domesticated for practical ones: Hunting, guarding or even possibly by accident.
Canine diet typically consists of fresh meat, but can also include fruits, carrion and (as in a case of the Fennec Fox) insects.
#21, Danger Dog
#51, Bludgeonly Bulldog
#61, Pixilated Pointer
#94, Killer Hound
Canis familiaris
canis (L) a dog, familiaris (L), means domestic, or belonging to, as in servant.
Danger Dog is an American Staffordshire Terrier. This breed of Terrier has a well protective instinct, but is very loyal, devoted and loving to his own family. Terrier's tend to have a gentle and loving temperament toward people, although if provoked can be very aggressive.
Bludgeonly Bulldog is an English Bulldog, the national symbol of Great Britain. Bulldog's generally have relaxed, undemanding attitudes and despite the rumors, they don't drool.
Pixilated Pointer is a Pointer dog. Pointers are mainly bred for sport. They are very fast, and have great stamina.
Killer Hound is an Afghan Hound. An aristocratic type dog that has recently being used in the sport of Afghan racing.
Each one of the domestic dogs generally looks like it's real life equivalent. As far as colors goes it's anyone's guess because when animals are domesticated many new coat colors begin show up as you get further and further into breeding.
Longevity: Up to 20 years depending on the breed.
Conservation Status: Not threatened
#83, Ground Wolf
Canis lupus
lupus (L) a wolf.
Wolves are distributed throughout North America, Europe & Asia. They hunt in packs usually lead by the Alpha couple (including an alpha male & alpha female). The rest of the pack is filled with other related individuals.
Ground Wolf's generically match to those of the fictional werewolf's, not a real one. Coat color can range from traditional gray to brown to black. So Ground Wolf's colors aren't way off.
Longevity: 8-16 years (20 in captivity)
Conservation Status: Vulnerable
#16, Sly Fox
Vulpes vulpes
vulpes (L), a fox.
Sly Fox's details match him closely to a Red Fox. The pointed ears are a true feature that was added to Sly Fox.
Despite the name, Red Foxes can have coats that range from rust to flame-red (with silver/gray color phases); white to black underneath, and usually have a white tip on their tails.
Red Foxes are distributed from the Artic Circle (North Pole, so they don't eat penguins either!), to North Africa and Central America.
Longevity: Up to six years
Conservation Status: Not threatened
#94, Fennec Fox
Vulpes zerda
zerda (Arab) derived from zardawa, meaning a fennec.
Fennecs are the smallest of the wild Canid family and live in North Africa.
Fennec Fox does indeed match very closely to a true fennec. His big ears are not an exaggeration, but indeed very true in size to a real fennec. The big ears in Fennecs act as the animals’ radar and help regulate the animal's body heat in the heat of the desert.
Diet is slightly different for Fennecs in that about 80% of what they feed upon is insects. Only the other 20% or so are fruits, scorpions and the occasional small bird or mammal.
His coloring is also right on because fennecs do a red coat.
Longevity: 10 years
Conservation Status: Data Deficient
