More Pups
by Pugu_
More Pups adds dog breeds, pup breeding, tamed dog behavior controls and bed-claiming to Minecraft 26.2 and 26.3 on Fabric.
What it does
Dogs in More Pups come in three breeds, each with its own model, animations and sounds. Tamed dogs take a collar in any of sixteen dye colors, and when two dogs breed, the litter is one of three puppy variants, each inheriting the breed of one parent. Wild dogs spawn in pairs around villages, and every dog from a given village keeps the same breed.
Pressing shift and right-clicking a tamed dog opens a behavior screen that replaces the loose teleporting follow of vanilla wolves. Dogs can be set to stay close, hold a position while defending against hostile mobs, or wander freely within an adjustable radius. A dog can also be sent to a claimed bed, and beds can be crafted from wool and planks and dyed in sixteen colors. A dog left at a bed will relax and sleep there, and a claimed bed stays claimed until its dog is gone. A Tamagotchi-style stat system is also included.
The mod runs on the client and on the server, so both sides need it. It is published for Fabric only, for game versions 26.2 and 26.3, and it requires Fabric API and GeckoLib. The code is not open source; the mod is released under All rights reserved, while the source code and an issue tracker are public.

What the author says
A Fabric mod for Minecraft 26.2 that adds proper dog breeds, and gives every dog (including vanilla wolves) behaviour you can actually direct. All three have puppy variants, and breeding two dogs passes on one parent's breed. Any dog can be given a collar in any of the sixteen dye colours, same as a vanilla wolf.
