What do you mean DM?Well it occurs to me that dogfolk should have a heightened scent ability.
In the book there's a feat called Scent the Impossible which pretty much does that. It's boss.
Rungok beat me to the answer DM. Scent the Impossible allows you to have a set number of scents you can pick up basically no matter what, after memorizing them through exposure. It takes time, so you still need bloodhound s to track of a quick sniff of something, but it's the best scent ability in the game as far as I know.
Okay I built Sir Pugsley the Brave. I'm pleased. :3
Hey guys
I just joined, and I'm a little new (sort of)
But I have looked into this as well (or else I would not have found this).
I have made a wolf-folk race, it might be able to use some work shopping.
If any of you are interested, just contact me.
Well, as long as we're doing Thread Necromancy:
I know there is a third party coyote race. That could perhaps be adapted to serve your need.I am currently writing up a "Dog-man" race for Fat Goblin Games, in their Racial Ecologies line. I'm about 75% done with the text.Interesting. I will probably check that when it comes out.
However, as much as I know there are quite a few dog races from third party sources, and many might be good, I am actually looking for an official Paizo race.
Now I want to see a Roadrunner race . . . .
What alignment should they be? I think lawful good. Lawful because they do whatever their master says, good because they always seem so happy and really love their masters?

Dammit... I came in here looking for some sort of fun "Dog Race". Like with greyhounds chasing a rabbit. Alas Archimedes has been mislead, yet again!
Have you checked out the Rougarou? (Technically more of a wolf-person but it's the best there is 1st party). It is from Bestiary 6 with listed stats as a PC race (and you can find this in d20PFSRD by searching for the Rougarou in google).
This. Published by Paizo, but never really updated on playable races documents.
Rougarou
Rougarous are wolf-headed humanoids who can transform into wolves. While this sometimes confuses others into mistaking a rougarou for a werewolf, these humanoids are not lycanthropes. In fact, most detest werewolves and hunt them mercilessly.
The race isn’t numerous or widespread, and rougarous tend to live in secluded communities. They are very protective of their families and friends, and the communities they form tend to be strict and lawful. In their homeland, rougarous are most plentiful in southern swamps and marshes, where it is believed they originated, but have since spread throughout the rest of the world.
While most of rougarou society is upstanding and trustworthy, as with any group there are some violent and aggressive members. These evil, loner rougarous occasionally form into packs that raid the countryside and prey upon the just and kind. Thankfully, rougarous are generally civilized and loyal, and most are quick to hunt down and punish their feral kin for their foul deeds.
Rougarous age like humans, but they tend to be slightly taller and heavier than typical humans.
Rougarous are defined by their class levels—they do not have racial Hit Dice. All rougarous have the following racial traits.
Ability Scores: +2 Str, +2 Wis, –2 Int. Rougarous are strong and alert, but simplistic.
Size: Medium. Rougarous are Medium creatures.
Speed: Rougarous have a base speed of 30 feet.
Senses: Rougarous have low-light vision and the scent special ability.
Change Shape (Su): A rougarou can change shape once per day into a wolf as a standard action, as beast shape I. A rougarou can revert to its true form as a swift action.
Natural Weapon: Rougarous have a bite attack that deals 1d4 points of damage. This is a secondary attack if a rougarou wields a manufactured weapon.
Languages: Rougarous speak Common and their own racial language of Rougarou. Rougarous with high Intelligence scores can choose from these bonus languages: Aklo, Elven, Gnoll, Gnome, Goblin, or Sylvan.

Funny, I came to this thread, not recognising the necromancy until I saw my long dead post. I was going to suggest Nushiwa (Coyote People) using the same feats and archetypes as Kitsume, only with +2 Int, +2 Dex, -2 Wis to reflect Wile E. Coyote.
Roadrunner could be do with Tengu with some home brew speed buffs.
