So there is a thread floating around about a guy wanting to play a cat. This gave me an idea of a party made up of all dogs... What classes would you think would be viable? I was thinking, skirmisher ranger, barbarian, martial artist monk, rogue, and fighter.
I think it would require a house rule that the dog's bite attack functions with multiple attacks from BAB.
Can they use their paws as hands? Are we including dire dogs like a cane corso or just normal mutts?

Do they get to smoke cigars, drink booze, and play poker?

..evil druid that likes to wildshape into an air elemental? I mean, it is a good who/what/how/why to the whole campaign.
Why do we have a dog party and how did it happen? Mad druid with awakening.
What did he do to become a BBEG? He makes intelligent creatures so he can play his sadistic games with them.

Timmy. But the little guy is always failing his st and falling into the well.
Yes I would say point buy. Different breeds of dog I guess. I would put it in a major city and have them get into city trouble and eventually go on some adventure eventually defeating the some Ancient Gold and some other fun.
Heck might as well stat up some dog types, smaller more agile dogs, bloodhounds with higher wisdom, greyhounds with higher move, have some fun with it.

Half-wolves that are larger and more agressive than the rest, and with larger teeth (do wolves also come in green? They do, don't they?)
I have a voice changer that converts human speech into dog speech..might as well go full on crazy for this idea.

Is it made using the Speak with people spell?
nope, made with morphvox, and summon computer spell. :)
BBEG is Ranger, with favored enemy you know what.
This thread is brimming with win!
Paladin as we all know Cats are tremendously evil.
Yup, even at 1 HD all cats detect as evil. It is a little known fact that all cats believe humans to be their slaves. Purring is them praying to their evil god to provide them with more slaves.
Why can't Timmy be the party face? He's a cute kid with freckles. You don't need any werehumans.
The dog has a special favored class bonus as a paladin, that gives +1 to everything/level. EVERYTHING THAT HAS A NUMBER. So most dogs are paladins, which is why they feel the need to fight and defeat cats. Any dog seen politely dealing with a cat is currently dominated or enslaved.

Well, it is certainly true that them rubbing on a person's leg is them using scent glands to "mark their territory".

No, no, no... cats are just drag queens.
I'm going to mirror a suggestion made over in the cat thread. Someone suggested playing a reflavored kitsune. I'd say since Oriental Adventures was updated by Paizo in Dragon Magazine, the hengeyokai would fit into pathfinder with minimal tinkering. The rabbit hengeyokai could be a yappy small dog with the raccoon dog actually being a regular dog. Maybe.
To be fair, it's been a while since I looked at them, but I liked the hengeyokai a lot.
I don't see them really needing to be awakened. They can all just "talk" with each other fine and we can make it so that they can talk with all animals. I would probably just make it 2 floating ability increases but one must be mental and one physical and have the character use his allocation based on breed. A Saint Bernard probably has +2 con and +2 wisdom... Anyone having a saint knows that they just lay around being a wise area rug that slobbers.
Lol, yes it would probably get ridiculous. I guess if you were to have an actual campaign it would need to be low magic and they would all need to be awakened.

Ugh.
The idea of a bunch of players playing unawakened dogs, for a one-shot, could be fun.
Anything after that, just sounds obnoxious, and nauseating.
I remember on some "I want to play a cat" thread that you told an incredibly vague story about a person in your group who played a car... And it didn't end well.
I simply assert that perhaps your opinion on the subject could be biased, as the enjoyment derived from this play style depends heavily on one's sense of humor. I, for one, could enjoy a campaign like this if the GM had a good plot. Maybe the BBEG is an evil necromancer/dog catcher. He captures and kills dogs to make a zombie army out of them to take over the town, but the dogs just want to save their friends. They'd accidentally save the down.
Some people may want to use converted rules from the 3.5 Book of Erotic Fantasy in a campaign like this.
Hmmm... why can't people just play a fearless hero dog and leave the hanky panky out of it.
Haha. Bbt, you rock.
I've actually done this among NPCs. It was a coalition of 8 awakened dogs of various breeds who did mercenary work. They would split themselves into two parties of 4 so that they could handle multiple jobs at once.
Party initially fought a group consisting of a boxer barbarian, siberian husky rogue, collie oracle, and chihuahua sorcerer. Later realized they had to rescue the other four dogs as a means of finishing part of their quest.
Other four were a great dane fighter, english pointer cleric, shiba inu bard, and poodle ranger.
I can't believe no one has mentioned the one and only canince-based roleplaying game: DAWG the RPG by Kenzer & Company.
Though, if the goal is to stick with Pathfinder, I'd at least take a look at The Noble Wild as Alzrius suggested. It's exactly this for which it was written.
