About this Mod
A fun (in development) mod that replaces the 9 wolf variants in vanilla with an infinite number of procedurally-generated, unique dogs to diversify your pets and make them more distinct. It currently only changes dogs, though should eventually also feature cat breeds as well.
Genetics!
When two dogs are bred together, their child will take traits and colours from the parents. This happens randomly, and may take more traits from one than the other. A small 'mutation' is also applied, maybe resulting in new traits and patterns.
Puppies!
Puppies have recieved a few changes as well, as this stage is something I have always thought gets ignored. Dogs now stay as infants for ~14 in-game days, instead of the typical ~1. They also will be slow, defenseless, blind, and not able to follow their owner very well/at all.
no ai was used in the development of this mod :-)
