What are all the Pokémon based on dogs/canines?

Question

I really want to start a dog team so I want to know, what are all the dog Pokemon in all generations?

Comments

I respect everyone's opinion. However, concerning the Legendary Beasts, they were designed by Muneo Saitō. He was asked about their designs. This is what he said: Entei is leonine with mastiff-like qualities and retractable claws; Raikou is a sabertooth tiger that can't retract its claws; and Suicune is leopard-like with qilin (kirin) qualities (mostly the walking on water).

I understand that there are two groups that think that they are cats over dogs and vice versa. Instead of arguing, put the differences aside and think of the Legendary Beasts as being both feline and canine.

@ollyhinge11: Raikou is based on a sabretooth tiger...

@StormBorn: Furfrou is 6th gen. He asked gen 1 to 5 specifically.

@cryptic Entei is a Dog lion hybred. Zorua & Zoroark are also Foxes because Zorro is Spanish for fox.

Zorua and Zoroark are foxes. It's title is literally "Tricky fox pokemon." And you should put Suicune and Entei on the list because it's a mix. Some people consider them cats, some people consider them dogs, some mixes. So it's "debatable."

Vulpix and ninetales are foxes too.. :/ You really are quite confused.

I respect your opinion, but I have a very strong belief that Entei, Raikou, and Suicune are indeed based off of animals that are classified as cats, rather than canines. Thank you for your time, good sir.
