It should be made that, in multiplayer, when a wolf is tamed it uses an uploaded skin just like the player does. that way different players will have different looking wolves that can be told appart!!! This would make life on my friends server SO much easier since everyone has dogs
Or, have a "Wolf Name(s)" thingy in the "Profile" on minecraft.net so that the wolves in-game (ssp or smp) have name tags. There could be like a list of names you input and when you tame a wolf it randomly chooses a name from the list. And if you haven't made the list there's a default name (like Steve is the "default" name for the unedited minecraft skin).
I love idea of wolf skins for multipayer. I need some way to show if the wolf is mine or someone else. I also like the random name from the list. Still I think i have see both of these in the wolf megathread.
