The Blackthorn Rancher trait description refers to domestic animals, but since the trait doesn't actually specify what type of animal companion can receive the bonus HP (eg dogs, horses), does this mean I can apply the bonus to types of animal companion that aren't normally domesticated?

Wikipedia's list of domesticated animals in chronological order
However some animals that aren't domesticated here may be domesticated in Golarion. The goblin dog comes to mind. In a non-Golarion setting I had a domesticated Triceratops as a companion - apparently Lizardfolk in Golarion also domesticate some dinosaurs.
Conversely, some animals that are largely domesticated, such as camels, are not likely to be from the Riverlands as referenced in the trait.
So using that list is likely to lead to error, whether it's including animals that shouldn't be or failing to include animals that should be.
Exactly. That's why I listed it as Wikipedia's list of domesticated animals, not Golarion's.
There is not a list of Golarion domesticated animals. Otherwise, you wouldn't have had to ask for a list of domesticated animals.

I wasn't asking for a list of domesticated animals, I was asking if the ambiguity meant that it wasn't intended to be restricted to any particular set of animals (unlike for example the Huntmaster feat which does specify a horse, dog, hawk, or small cat as acceptable hunting beasts).
Normally I'd check with the GM but this is a PFS character. (The important part is actually getting Handle Animal on a Sacred Huntmaster Inquisitor so I'm tempted to just take the trait, pick whatever pet I want, and be prepared to lose 3 HP on the animal if a particular GM objects.)
