Was Direwolf added to the list?

Also sometimes I hate Wiki…It was giving me felines and foxes.

Anyway, you could try Crocotta, Galley-Trot, Wucharia (if you count those, since Wiki says it’s an unseen or rare type of canine)

There’s also Wulvers but those are werewolves…There’s also something called a White Creature or White Devil Dog.

Direwolf is along the same lines as the Borophagus, it's not really a cryptid so I don't think it really fits what I'm going for with the NQD unfortunately

Wucharia is on my list already! Galley-Trot is a similar in lore to the Black Shuck, but I think I can put enough of my own NQD spin on them to make them unique. I was planning on using the Shucks as an event, but maybe I can add the Galley-Trot in as one of the main "breeds"

If I do the Crocotta I'd prolly make them a bit more dog-like, I kinda like the human cry they have tho so that's got me thinking of how I can spin that for the NQDs X3

Haha one of my cats is named after Wulvers, while I have a soft spot for them they wouldn't exactly pass as a dog. If I do the Galley-Trots I prolly wont do the White Creatures, even though they can take the form of a dog they fill the same sort of lore as the Galley-Trot and the Black Shucks and I don't want to overlap too much

Church Grim have been added!

HELLOOOO TO ALL OUR NQD OWNERS/PLAYERS!

To celerbate the debut of the shelther's new breed The Church Grim, and because I'm a die-hard Not Quite Dogs fan, I'm opening up a little artshop for NQD owners, where I will make AN ATTEMPT to draw your cryptid dogs badly, hence the trademark.
I have the major details figured out I only need to set up the front page with examples I've made thus far but you can check them out in my Ko-fi link since that's up an running fine. Please keep in mind I will be drawing them off-site, so keep you DMs open to recieve your orders <3

Big thanks to our beloved shopkeeper for letting me post this ad

Hello! I love that you're making cryptids that resemble dogs, I'm really excited to try my hand at winning one.❤️

As for suggestions, I thought maybe you could try doing Black Hound if you already haven't got a NQD breed based on it. The black hound is a supernatural, demonic, or spectral dog that appears in folklore across Europe, the Americas, and England. It's one of my favorite myths since I have a small book on creepy supernatural myths from around the world and it was included. The story that I read about it, featured a Black Hound haunting a man as he went to pubs to drink alone and at first he was afraid of it, seeing it as a bad omen. Everyone could see it and assumed it was his dog. So he eventually came to accept it's presence and decided to adopt it as his dog. It helped him make friends as it was visible to others as well and I think it may have disappeared afterwards. But it might have just stopped showing itself to others except for the man that it helped.

I can't remember if that's the exact version of the tale, but I moved, so at the moment I can't find the book to directly quote it.

My mom told me that in most versions; tales about the black hound are usually a tale about being careful what you wish for as something bad might happen to grant your wish.

Ooooh it'd be really cool if it could be another bully breed! we need more of their pure souls

Thanks!! I love cryptids, and I like to draw dogs, so it was only a matter of time until I did something like this haha

The Black Dogs contain a variety of different Black Dog sightings, a lot of which have local names and legends like the Black Shuck or Church Grim (which can take other forms than just a dog but for my purposes it's only a dog X3)

I wanna say the story from your book might closer resemble the Guardian Black Dogs, which are neither an omen of death nor an arbiter of it, but instead act as guides for weary travelers and protect them from bandits/harm, but there's so many stories of the Black Dogs that I can't quite pin down which one specifically the one from your book was about lol. I believe the Gurt Dog of Sommerset was also considered a good omen/protector, I'll have to go through my books again because those are the only two off the top of my head. I'd be happy to group the benevolent ones together under the name of the Black Hounds though, if you do find your book I'd love to hear more about the ones in it!

I'd probably make them some sort of hound breed to fit the name, I'm partial to coonhounds but maybe a wolfhound or more of like a shaggy mutt mix would be cute too
