Description
Larger dogs (known to Small races like halflings and gnomes as riding dogs) include hardier breeds such as huskies, mastiffs, and wolfhounds. A riding dog can fight while carrying a rider, but the rider cannot also attack unless he or she succeeds on a DC 10 Ride check.
This small dog has a rough coat and a hungry look in its dark brown eyes.
This burly dog is fitted with a small saddle. A low, menacing growl rumbles up from its chest.
