The following information details differences, if any, each breed has from the standard dog or riding dog.

Many of these dog breeds can be used for familiars by wizards and sorcerers or animal companions by druids and rangers. That said, it is not unheard of for elves to honor non-elven friends with the gift of an elven dog puppy.ДЄverage prices for each breed of dog are included in their entry. In many cases, even half-elves would have a tough time purchasing one. The elven dog is a special case, in that even though it can potentially be bought or sold, it is usually not available to non- elves. One usually has to know the right people in order to buy and sell most of these particular breeds to begin with. That is because the listed value is usually a baseline beginning price and that values for those breeds are often significantly more. Note that that most of the magical dogs have a вЂњ+вЂќ after the gold piece value. Some areas also prohibit the ownership of any dog considered вЂњdangerousвЂќ, such as the bear-dog, bulldog and orcish wolf-dog, without purchasing special licenses (which can cost up to twice the value of the dog itself and usually must be renewed every year or so). Most goodly regions prohibit the ownership of any undead dog as well as the infernal dog. Some dogs are outlawed in certain cities and/or nations. Nobles often keep records of the genealogy of their prize dogs, and any dog with a detailed genealogy will usually command at least twice the listed price, and sometimes as much as five times the listed price. A GM should raise or lower prices anywhere from a few gold to several dozen gold depending on how rare a species is. Prices are generally considered averages.
