We want small/toy dog pets!

TigressCreed

I’d rather they make an option to toggle off people’s pets. They get annoying and it gets crowded in large cities. Don’t need yappy chihuahuas added to the mix. At first I loved pets but after several years I rarely have them out.

They don't have to be yappy.

Not all small dogs are yappy.

You know what would be good as well?

A small dog emote, like the /summonbat emote:



Where you pick up your small dog, it licks your face and (after trying to avoid the licks!) you hug it.

I want my cat...still annoyed that there is no tuxedo kitty.

I'd take a Jack Russell. Otherwise, I don't like small dogs. I'd REALLY like a great dane like what's outside one of the Battlegrounds tents.

Not sure which one youre referring to, but the Great Daenian Hound was available in the crown store for a while.

Dachshund but you get -2 bag space since they like to borrow under/in things. Mine got trapped in a sweater sleeve once lol.

I have toy dogs IRL, and since their origin was basically lap dogs for nobility, ESO seems like the perfect setting for toy breeds.

Please give us some Tamriel versions of breeds like Pomeranians, Yorkies, Havanese, Shih-Tzu, Poodles, anything! Not everyone wants a huge dog!

if a dog is smaller than a cat, it is not a dog.

If a dog is smaller than a cat, my parents' old cat would probably have tried to eat it. Damn thing was a menace. Jumped on a baby crawling around on the floor and bit it on the back of the neck once. Was absolutely going for the kill. Complete monster.

If it sunk its teeth in it probably was, but if it didn't, it might have been playing.

They play like that, with each other, as kittens.

It's practicing hunting, rather than actually hunting.

Yeah, he was...um...not a nice cat. When my little sister was a toddler, he used to stalk her around the house, and she has scars on her legs from when he'd pounce on her. He was about 14 years old when he went after the baby.

If they do that then their should be an option to counter people toggling off your pets. Like make it an eso plus perk.

I'm not convinced that miniature dogs would be such a good idea. Here are the main reasons.

Introducing them into ESO would mean the obligatory handbag would have to follow. Handbag transportation is the only mode of travel that these creatures are used to (it would seem) so making them run behind a galloping horse, into battle, would be tantamount to cruelty. So, no handbag, no mini dog.

The question that springs to mind is; Are handbags lore friendly or not? I have seen rucksacks, saddle bags and various sized pouches or sporrans but I don't recall ever having seen a handbag.

I remain open minded on the matter & would even go along with introducing them into the game, so long as it is in keeping with the lore of Tamriel.

There's an argonian handbag joke somewhere in there...

karthrag_inak

This one has obviously stepped into the wrong thread. Khajiit is revolted by the mere concept. -backs out of thread slowly-.

You have, clearly, never met a Bichon Frise.

Beneath that white, fluffy, exterior lies a real slugs and snails character.

In the case of the boys, anyway.

They (variously - personalities do differ) enjoy running away at any given opportunity, shouting at horses and cows and rolling in poo.

They also have a widespread reputation for being totally untrainable (and not due to lack of brains!).

If they were human, most of them would probably be in jail.

True, I do not often see Bichon Frises because they are usually in the handbag - probably like @CMDR_Un1k0rn 's Jack Russel - ripping the bag apart, as a means of escape.

My breed does not fit inside a handbag & if I could find one large enough, I would need a horse & cart to carry them both.

He's a Hungarian Komondor, measuring 32" at the withers, with off-white dreadlocks, flowing to the ground.

I always find it funny when people think only big dogs are dogs. I have both large and small dogs and I can assure you they're all dogs. Also, the fact a small subset of people carry them everywhere and put them in bags in no way means that's how everyone treats them.

IRL I have a Havanese that's the size of my Golden Retriever's head and neck. The Havanese is in charge and bosses the huge Retriever around. I guess I should tell the tiny dog that she isn't a dog!

I just want tiny dogs in ESO please!

Hmmm... I don't have a handbag that's big enough to hold our neighbor's Bichon Frise Tony. He would certainly fit into my assault pack, though.
I mean, even my Yorkie/Bichon mix doggo would fit into the assault pack, and he's way sturdier (and fatter) than neighbor's Tony.

Yeah, Bichon Frise are often in the 20 lb range and that would get pretty taxing carrying around in a sack. Like not every toy breed dog is a 3 lb purse dog. My three toy dogs are 15-25 lbs and would be so offended if I put them in bags.

At the same time, if someone wants to carry their pampered pooch in a bag--who cares? I really hate pet elitism, as if only certain pets have value and it's only appropriate to treat them certain ways. All animals are great and as long as they aren't being abused, nobody should care.

I just want more variety in ESO for pets! LOL By all means add more big dog breeds too, but right now we have NO small breeds and that makes my noblewomen who want lapdogs very sad.

TheImperfect

I'm not really a dog person. I do like them, especially rottweilers which I have had a lovely Rottie boy but I'm more of a rat or cat person. I think there should be some toy breeds available especially a chihuahua style dog for those that like but personally in my opinion too many small dogs would get boring quickly.

Awww...

Well, you could probably put a Bichon puppy in a bag.

In theory, at least - although most males, especially, wouldn't be very pleased about it, even as babies.

But, you would need a pretty large and sturdy bag to put an adult male in.

Most handbags wouldn't cope and that is even before they attempted to escape...

Now, admittedly, this puppy might fit in a handbag:



...but, he wouldn't:



By the way, it's a personal preference, but I tend to think Bichons (and similar dogs) look best with the puppy cut, all their lives.

They look like teddy bears.
