Guard dogs.

[DanteThanatos]

A pet you could get after taming Foxes. They attack anyone that enter the claim they are attached to and need meat to eat.

Features:
They can be attached to claim stakes. From then on, until they are attached to another claim, they will defend that claim from any Trespasser.
The ownership of the dog is set when the owner put a leather collar on it.
Dogs can follow owners.
They engage anyone who engage the owner.(Oh god spars)
The dog can be leashed to a pole to prevent any accident.
They need meat to eat.
Dogs would breed and have higher stats quality wise.
Bitches should give birth to more than one puppy.
Dogs would gnaw on bones given to them and gain a damage buff
Dogs cant climb on boats.
They can swim and die trying to swim for too long(like anyone else as they dont drink water hahaha)
After being left without food for too long they start being able to engage and kill cattle to "eat"(they recover part of their hunger doing that)
Only one dog can follow a single hearthling at any time(Just think of the pathing of a pack following you around)

Anyone want a pet?

These ideas are good but have been fleshed out and thoroughly discussed in the past. =)

I thought so.
I used the search function with "dog" "wolf" and "Guard dog" I think, and didnt find anything so after I checked the first 3 pages of the subforum I went ahead and made this topic

There was a post about wolves here: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=33597
If they add the wolves this would go nicely with it as you would just tame wolves but I think there should also be a limit to how many you can have 'guarding' a claim. Don't want to make it too powerful with tons of guard dogs. Maybe have it where you can attach 3(or however many is the limit) to the claim as guard dogs while your other dogs are friendly like any of the other animals. while leading one it would be friendly until you attack or get attack and thus it becomes aggressive to your target. could also make them eat a lot of meat as a limit, so as someone would need to hunt a lot to keep them.

Well those are my thoughts on it, though I don't expect them to add it but it would be neat to have.
