[Dragoness]

On entry for the Noctus hounds contest.
Leonine Noctus Hounds have wider, more angular muzzles then normal hounds and have more bit pressure because of it. They're ears are longer and more pointed as so to lay back against the skull and out of harms way and be more effectively protected by the thick mane like ruff of fur on the neck that extends under the belly to the end of the rib cage. They're legs, both front and back, and shoulders are built to allow them the powerful sideways sweeps with they're claws that the normal candid can't manage. Leonine Noctus Hounds also have longer, somewhat retractable, claws and a long, more arched back to match their tufted tails.
Just a rough idea sketch.
