Dogs come in many varieties, but only a few which are large enough to serve as mounts for sized-small (or smaller) riders. However, that still leaves quite a few breeds of interest to someone looking for a distinguished mount (similar to Great Danes, Mastiffs, and the perennial favorite, Wolves). Riding dogs have all the great qualities of dogs, namely that they are fiercely loyal, intelligent, and good-natured animals who enjoy the companionship of humanoids.
