I've been thinking about this idea for a while, looking for any flaws and to see if anything was wrong with it. I searched it up in the search bar and I only found a couple of suggestions like this for the PC suggestion section.
So the idea is to make more types of tamed dogs. Currently, their are three types of tamed ocelots, so why not have more types of dogs? Maybe different types of dogs can each behave differently, and spawn in different areas. We can keep the regular wolves and add more. For example, a Husky can spawn in Artic (snowy) biomes.
The first type of dog is a Husky. They spawn in Artic biomes. Can be and are tamed with bones. A new item can be a sled, which Husky's can pull, and you can ride. In order to craft a sled, you need to first need to craft wheels. Wheel can be crafted with 4 wooden planks and a stick. You need to craft 2 wheels to make a sled. Then you need to craft the sled itself, which would be crafted with 2 sticks, 4 wooden planks, and 2 wheels. You would then place it on the ground, and then look at the sled and press "A" to attach the Husky to the sled. Then look at the sled and press Left Trigger to ride it. You cannot control which direction the sled can go in. Here is a great topic that suggests dog sleds: http://www.minecraft...ed-and-wagon-d/
Another type of dog can be a German Shepherd. They spawn in villages and in Forests. They can and are tamed with a bone. They are similar to normal wolves, but attack ALL hostile mobs on sight. They are useful for extreme protection, and do more damage than a normal wolf.
The third type of dog, and the second most rarest is a Black Lab. They spawn on islands in the middle of the ocean, and anywhere near water. Can and are tamed with bones
I wasn't so sure about this dog, but maybe, there can be a Ender Dog, which spawns at night, and then despawns in the day. This dog is as rare as Enderman. This is probably one of the most dangerous and most rarest dog. If somebody or something attacks you, and you have the Ender dog as a companion, it will teleport toward the enemy, and do a good 7 hearts of damage. Can and are tamed with bones.
(suggested by IAMH4Z4RD)Another type of dog that only spawns in the Nether is a Hell hound. They can and are tamed with Blaze Rods. They are resistant to fire or lava, and they are weak against water, but do not instantly die in it. They do not attack any of the Nether mobs.
One type of dog and another type of dog cannot breed, only dogs of the same species can breed. For example, two Husky's can breed, but a Husky and a German Shepherd CANNOT breed, because then, how would the puppy look?
I see why you say no cross breeding, but it'd be kind of annoying, why not make it like ocelot/cats, have a 50% chance for each type of baby when you cross breed.
Maybe the ender dog can only be tamed by ender pearl/eye because I think for other dogs it makes sense but for ender dogs I personally dont think bones would tame one. Maybe an item called an ender bone. A bone with ender pearls around it?
More info on Ender Bones:
Used to tame ender dogs. Crafted like this(e= ender pearl, b=bone):
[E][E][E]
[E][E]
[E][E][E]
Maybe a nether dog? It would maybe only spawn in the nether and to tame it you could use a blaze rod?
^ We will refer to the "Nether Dog" as "Hell Hound" from now on.

Thoughts?
Dont get me wrong I agree with different variations of wolfs after you tame them. But, I think it should only be a skin for once you tame it. Similar to ocelots. Also your dog textures could be a little more detailed.
I agree with Wawn. I support new skins for dogs, not the new abilities. I don't think we need nether dogs or end dogs. How would you get the dogs out of the Nether? And dogs can already teleport and attack anything.

I agree with this. I only want the dog skins. Not the abilities
I agree with Wawn_Music_Disk as well. The cats all have the same abilities, so why should dogs be any different? (I own a dog, so don't think bigotry). And I think all the dogs should look the same before they are tamed, like ocelots (cats).
I don't support the ideas of dogs in other dimensions. (Ender Dog? Really?)
Sleds don't have wheels in reality, so I don't support that idea. They should be crafted without wheels, and lead should be used to attach the dogs to the sled. I also think you should be able to control where the sled goes. (Perhaps by using bones and pointing your cursor to where you want to go? Maybe a new item should be introduced to use to control the movement of the sled. A bone on a stick?)
'If' the End Hound (aka. Blink Dog) and Hell Hound were added, I think they should be not tamable and be added as separate "pack oriented" neutral or hostile MOB's for those regions. The Hell Hound could just be innately Hostile, and tends to spawn in packs... where the End Hound could just become hostile when attacked or if stared directly at, and will incite any other end hounds in the area around it. In either case, if you catch the attention of one, you will also catch the attention of those in range around it as well.
These extra-dimensional dogs should NOT be tamable as pets.
I would too.
It'd give the player yet another incentive to go to the nether.
HELL HOUNDS!
Lol. And yes, i agree it will give another good reason to go to the Nether.
