Different Dog Species Relative to Biomes

under review

Minecraft should have different types of dogs, and depending on that dog type, it would spawn in a certain biome.

Example:

Wolf = snowy biomes

Coyote (Prarie Wolf) = Plains biome or grassy biome

Dingo = Sandy biomes

 

And in villages, or even surrounding them, would be more house-pet dogs, like beagles, or poodles or something. :P

Its just a thought though :)

    Also, I was thinking that these different types of wolves would have different abilities.

    Like the regular wolf, which is probably based off a gray wolf, should be like gray wolves and have more hearts.

    Other wolves, like the dingo, would give speed to itself and you around hostile mobs for a small certain amount of time.

    If they hopefully add redwoods, there should be a variation of wolf, kinda like the red wolf. This wolf should give fire resist when you or it is around fire or lava.

    The snow wolf, which could be based off the arctic wolf, could give invisibility for a small amount of time around hostile mobs.

    The coyote could give poison damage for maybe two seconds when it attacks a mob.

    A black wolf, which only spawns at night, should give the player night vision for a small amount of time, then have a cool down for a much longer amount of time.

    Coyotes aren’t really wolves, jackals are closer and could become black or golden stripe wolves. I agree @seword, but it should depend on where the wolf came from and not the color. Jackal dogs, which live in hotter climates should be the ones with fire protection (fire damage is divided by 2), normal wolf dogs give Marathon effect (1.5 speed boost but can sprint longer), and arctic wolves give Camouflage effect (mobs will not attack when you are still)

    Different textures for wolves too? Yes! 

    But not different sizes or spawn eggs. That’s too much of the good.

    I agree with this idea completely. I have been wanting different types of dogs on the game for so long. I think the dogs should have different traits e.g. puppies scare zombies and poodles are fast and a German Shepard might kill certain mobs faster than other dogs

    And even more types: dalmatian, arctic wolf, sheperd, bichon, that police dog, danschund, and street dogs with random colour combinations, but only if you tame wolves in certain places. Or it would better be randomly.

    Especially with the new breeds of cats, new dogs would be great. I’d love to see a Pomeranian in Minecraft!

    I think instead of wolves huskys should spawn in snowy biomes but the idea in general is pretty cool.

    There are so many types of cats, & even sheep come in other colors, so it would be good.

    We should make it so you have mixes also(for house dogs). I would love it if they added this stuff, especially pugs and golden retrievers! :)

    Maybe hyenas in the savanna biome! And great idea, the idea of only one type of dog and so so so many different types of cats is just bugging me so much!!!!!!!!!!

    I think that if you tame a wolf you get the normal wolf, but if you breed 2 tamed wolves together, you get a random breed of dog.

    Do like the idea of a taming system for dogs.  Would be nice to place them in a sheep or animal pen to chase away mobs!
