Probably some smart-alec referring to domesticated dogs. Wasn't me, though I usually try to be smart-alec-y.

Aren't hyaena's actually not very canine? I seem to remember someone mentioning in a discussion about gnolls that hyaenas are in fact more closely related to cats, or something along those lines...
I could be horribly wrong though. And if they are canine, you could include some stuff about gnolls and their techniques for training their hyaena cousins

Mr. Irial is right. Though my name is not Alec, obviously
I would include any monster hound from the core books.

Other: African Hunting Dog. Or Dhole.
Didn't vote for the others because, well, wolves are not Dogs and never can be. Foxes seem too different, even though they are in the same class. (Some interesting Fox info ).
The Tasmanian Wolf is, of course, not even close to a dog. It's a relative of the 'possum; it's of the order Marsupialia and is, I think the sole member of it's own Family, Thylacinidae. But it comes with it's own pouch! Imagine a Pouch of Holding for a gnome druid Thylacinidae rider. On the other hand, don't
Wolves, I would think, you could do an entire book and supplement on. Or if you wanted to do a book on all the Canidae, then include all of them: I'd definately buy that.
Canidae descends from the superfamily Canoidea, which also includes weasels (Mustelidae), Bears/giant pandas (Ursidae), and Racoons/lesse pandas (Procyonidae).
Hyenas are not in Canidae; they are in their own family, Hyaenidae, which also includes aardwolves; Hyaenidae descends from the superfamily Feloidea; Felidae (cats and great cats) are a branch off that. So are Mongooses and civits, don't ask me why.
Jackals are also in Canidae
