Minecraft dogs, also known as wolves, have been a part of the game since its early days. They were added in the Beta 1.4 update in 2011, along with other mobs such as sheep and spiders. Initially, wolves in Minecraft were hostile creatures that would attack players on sight. However, in a later update, they were changed to become tameable by feeding them bones. Once tamed, they would become loyal companions that would follow the player, defend them from hostile mobs, and even help them hunt. In terms of appearance, wolves in Minecraft were originally gray in color. However, in later updates, players were able to find and tame wolves with different fur colors, such as black, white, and brown. Many players have developed a special bond with their Minecraft wolves and dogs, often giving them nicknames and treating them as virtual pets.
Dogs are easier to tame than cats, but over time, it can become boring when there is only little variation in their appearance. This has led to the development of various mods and texture packs that enhance the dog’s appearance and behavior in the game. This is where the Better Dogs texture pack for Minecraft comes in, which offers a feature-rich solution to this problem. As the name suggests, the project only changes the appearance of the puppies and not their behavior. It was created by Mrblueyeti and is designed to add new dog breeds with over 125 textures. It’s a great addition for players who want to add more animals to their Minecraft world. To enhance the gaming experience, it is recommended to combine the Better Dogs resource pack with other resource packs that offer additional textures.
One of the most impressive features of the Better Dogs resource pack is that it allows you to download standalone versions of each of the dog breeds included in the pack. These separate versions have much less of an impact on your FPS (frames per second), making them an excellent option for players who want to use the mod but have a cheap gaming setup.
Another advantage of Better Dogs is the variety of dog breeds that it adds to Minecraft. With over 40 new breeds available, players can choose their favorite and have their in-game companion match their real-life pet. Some of the popular breeds included in the mod are Border Collie, Dalmatian, Doberman, German Shepherd, Husky, Labrador, and many more. Additionally, the vanilla-like textures used for each breed are detailed and realistic, which helps to make the dogs look even more like their real-life counterparts.
If you like this pack, you’ll probably also have fun with the Animal texture pack, which changes the appearance of some mobs and keeps the vanilla feel.

I loved this pack when I last played Minecraft (around 1.18). However, while trying to load it, most dogs were stick-like figures in the latest version. I have the most updated version of OptiFine and have removed all other resource packs from my game. I haven’t found a solution. It makes me quite sad to not be able to play with one of my old favorite packs.
I’m trying to find the link to 1.19.4 version specifically and I can’t find it, it keeps giving me the 1.19.1 version. Can someone give me the link to the one I want please?
You can use the 1.19.1 version without bugs in 1.19.4
Need Black lab, or Portuguese water dog <3
I want 1.20.1 !!! >:(
Please update better dogs because my friend is poor and autistic and wants to have Australian Cattle Dog in the pack
The dogs won’t follow me even tho I already feed them with the bones until the little hearts come up.
I’ve downloaded the wolf-only version because the full pack didn’t work (glitchy, not fully formed entities), but I only get one variety of wolf that is fully formed and normal (like the others are glitchy and have a bunch of gaps in their body). I have Optifine and have all the settings set as instructed. Do you know how I could possibly fix this? :’D
It might be because you have another mod or add on that isn’t compatible with this mod . This happened to me too.
Beast

The pack don’t work, dogs just become invisible
Hi Sage, the problem occurs when you don’t have Optifine installed. Please read the instructions again.
Beautiful dogs! but it causes Severe frame drops?
If there are too many dogs near you, then there may be lags. But normally you should have high FPS.
10/10 so good
Cerberus is So cool
Doesn’t work, I tried the steps told and named a tamed and untamed wolf a dog breed described above .
Check out the instructions again. I think that you have not set the Optifine settings correctly.
its says only 1.13
You can ignore this information as described above.
