Yes, the Dog Breeds Mod! This is a mod I'm working on that, surprise surprise, adds a ton of breeds to the game, as well as new items and even a generated structure or two!
The main focus of this mod are the breeds. Each breed has a different model and texture than the other breeds - all very much different than the wolf. The only way to get these breeds, however, is to breed wolves and dogs. Please note that because we're not going to code and model hundreds upon hundreds of breeds in, the actual ancestry of a breed will NOT be 100% reality accurate.
At press time, I have a few breeds already being worked on. Each breed will have different abilities, behaviors, and appearances. Breeds with a check mark next to them have models finished already.
Siberian Husky
✔
German Shepherd ✔
Border Collie
Collie
Malamute
Mastiff
Golden Retriever
Laborador Retriever
Rottweiler
Pit Bull
Chihuahua
Beagle
Greyhound
Great Dane
Bulldog
Pug
Poodle
Bloodhound
Basset Hound
Dachschund
Dalmatian
Along with breeds, we're also adding new items into the game to help with dogs! Later on, we hope to get this enabled for multiplayer servers, so some ideas might seem a little useless on Single Player.
Cage - These are 3x3x3 block cages that can hold any mob except the Wither, Endermen, Giants, and the Ender Dragon. Right click the ground with it in your hand to set it down. All you will have to do is lead a mob through the cage door and right click to close it. Once you close it, you will get a key. While inside the cage, mobs can move around as normal. Right clicking the cage with a key in your hand will open the door. Note that in multiplayer, only the player who last closed the cage can open it, unless the other player has the key. If a cage is open, anyone can close it. Up to three mobs can be packed into a single cage.
Collar Clippers - This item will untame a tamed animal of yours by right clicking.
Muzzle - Right clicking a dog with this item prevents it from attacking.
Carrier - Right clicking a dog or cat with this item lets you carry it in your inventory. Right clicking again lets you release it.
Treats - Dogs can mate using treats.
Dog Whistle - Right clicking with a dog whistle in your hand will make all of your dogs who are not sitting, and not tied to a fence with a lead instantly teleport to you.
And last but certainly not least, two generated structures!
Puppy Mills - These are houses with 5-10 cages each with 2 dogs inside. The breeds of dog will always be half one random breed and half another random breed. The houses themselves are made of oak wood planks, the roofs are made of spruce wood planks, and there are cobwebs here and there. These places are great to raid for a good supply of dogs and cages. (and that good feeling of knowing you just took out a representation of a BAD industry.) There is also always a chest inside with 5-10 leads and 2-6 carriers.
Dog Houses - Dog Houses are small houses that are home to 1-4 dogs. 2-4 blocks under every doghouse is a chest with random assortments of 4-10 meats, 4-10 bones, and 5-10 treats.
Again, I'm currently working on models for everything in Techne and am still in need of coders.
may i help make the models? i cant program i can help with model designs.
We aren't seeking modelers at the moment, as I'm handling most of the graphics. (Models, textures, items) If we need more modelers, we'll contact you though!
I can't WAIT for this mod to come out!! I've always wanted a mod like this, and someone is actually making it!! Thank you for that!! I have some ideas for this mod that I hope you will consider:
1: When you breed different dog breeds with one another, you get a mixed puppy. I know you're already working on a BUNCH of things, so there would be only a few of them. Some examples are: Chihuahua mixed with Pomeranian* (Pomchi), Lab mixed with poodle (Labradoodle), Golden Retriever mixed with the Poodle (Goldendoodle), Pug mixed with Beagle (Puggle), stuff like that. *The pomeranian is currently not in the list you're working on, but I hope it will be!
2: Now, this is one of my minor ideas, so it might not be as creative. You would be able to craft ID tags of different colors. It would be made with 7 iron ingots and 2 of any single dye. Three ingots at each side and one in the center, and the dyes would be above and below the iron ingot in the center. When you right-clicked your dog, it would work like a sign, and you'd be able to write their name.
Now I have a few questions about this mod:
1. Will it be for 1.5.2? It's the version I'm currently using...
2. When do you think the mod will come out? (Once you find coders, of course!)
3. How rare are the structures?
Again, this is a mod that I have always wanted, and I can't WAIT for it to come out!! I hope you can reply!!

Is there a possibility of you guys making mixes? I'm asking because I have a Retriever/Border Collie mix
I've been sponsoring the idea of mixes for a while now. But it won't be as in depth as the system of breeding to get more refined dog breeds down the ladder such as dachshunds, chihuahuas and labs. Instead, there will be a 50% chance of getting a breed called a "Mix" which can have any of about 10-20 textures.
That is an adorable puppy, by the way~ Mind if I use him as texture inspiration for a Mix?

1. Yes, this is almost exactly how I envision the breeding system to be. And I might add pomeranians~ There however is only a chance of getting a purebred new-breed puppy. You could also get a puppy of the same breed as either of the parents, or most commonly a Mix that could be any variation of colors on a specific model. For example:
German Sheperd X Siberian Husky
50% Mix
20% German Shepherd
20% Siberian Husky
10% Border Collie
2. I'm not too fond of this idea, what with the name tag already existing and all. The tags being found in Puppy Mills is enough in terms of naming.
I can't answer any of those questions except the "How rare are the structures" question. A concept I've had is that villiages could house 1-2 puppy mills each, and 4-5 dog houses. Dog houses would spawn more on their own, and puppy mills could be found on their own about as commonly as you see abandoned mineshafts.

May I suggest making the Siberian Husky's nuzzle a little shorter? It looks far too long. Also, you're missing a breed, the schnauzer!
I might make it shorter, but the mere fact that I can't do fractions of a cubic pixel might render the snout too short if I do so. I'll toy around with it and see.
And I've got a lot on my plate, but the Schnauzer might be a fun little breed I might add in, haha!Update
I'm thinking of making it so different breeds can have certain extra features, and/or adding in things like sleds.
By extra features, I'm talking Huskies pulling sleds, greyhounds running really fast, Pit Bulls doing large amounts of damage, and Bloodhounds being able to sniff out certain items, etc. I want feedback! Do you think this would be a good idea?
This mod looks great!! I would love to help with the models because I have no experience with coding [sorry] but I would love to help any other way. I am excited when the mod is released because I love how there are more breeds compared to the normal wolf that we have now. Plus I love pit bulls so I can't wait when they get released

Oh yes, please! That would be FANTASTICLY AMAZING!! That's going to make it more realistic, and awesome! I hope you can finish this mod by early 2014. Good Luck!

Oh and also could Bloodhounds help you mine? You know, help sniff out "certain items"? ( Diamonds! Emeralds!)
Unfortunately no. D: I'm working long and hard on the models though, and I might release them. A good reason for the absence of coders is how backwater this mod is. No one knows about it, and I don't really have many means of finding ways to know about it besides signature advertsing. I'll add some banners.

Aw well. Once it's all setup and we start getting things done, we'll periodically put BETAs up, if you're interested in testing it at any point.

try that

I wish they would, too! I've already requested that !

I would appreciate it if you didn't advertise on my mod. :/ Trying to upstage a modmaker on their own page isn't a wise idea.

That's not quite what I had in mind for a dalmatian. I'm handling all the models and textures too, so making these for me isn't nessecary! ^^;
