Since foxes came in, even though untamable, wolves lost popularity- so I think it’s time these guys get the update they deserve; The New Breeds Update. I'm going to show you what the update will do, why it would exist, and more. Let’s get into it.
What would the New Breeds update do?
Wolves haven’t really ever got a “major update”, and I think what would make wolves more interesting would be to give them new breed types.
This New Breeds update would have an ocelot-like-function, meaning when you come across a wolf and tame it normally by giving it bones, it’ll turn into a surprise breed.
When you tame the wolf, this won’t change the shape or size of it, but it will change the colours and the look. Most excitingly, it will change the function and characteristics of the breed.
Let’s go through an example of this function; when you come across a wolf it’ll look like normal, but when tamed it’ll turn into a different kind of breed- let’s say you got the Husky breed; this Husky would be loyal but independent, would be great at travelling through snow and would survive harsh weather like Storms, rain and Snow with ease. Great for adventurers!
As I said before, “When you tame the wolf, this won’t change the shape or size of it, but it will change the colours and the look. Most excitingly, it will change the function and characteristics of the wolf.”, let’s get into what breeds there would be. In the spoilers, I’ll include more information about the breeds and their characteristics. Also, feel free to give me more ideas for different breeds; just include the breed name and what their function and characteristics are- and make sure they wouldn’t change the size of the normal wolf too much.
Husky
The Husky is great at travelling through snow and rough weather like Snow and ThunderStorms - other breeds cannot survive weather like this so easily. This breed is also independent, fearless, and very fast at running in almost every biome. The Husky can be found most commonly in Snowy Tundra biomes.
German Shepherd
This breed, like the husky, is very independent and loyal. The German Shepherd isn’t afraid of anything, and is also pretty fast. These breeds will most commonly be found in Spruce forest, Taiga, and Mega Taiga biome.
Golden Retriever
These dogs are one of the most Loyal dogs out of all the breeds. They will fight for you and will always be on edge when a mob is nearby. Speaking of mobs, when a hostile mob is nearby (10-15 blocks away?), even if it doesn’t attack you or you attack it, this dog will go after it to protect you from even getting hit once.
Dalmatian
This breed is very energetic and loves to play. They are loyal to their masters/owners, and are also very intelligent breeds. However, these dogs aren’t so good at surviving biomes like Snow, Desert, and Oceans- meaning if they are travelling through any of those biomes, they’ll get tired quite easily. This type of dog will commonly be found in Plains, Savanna, and Forest biomes.
Border Collie
Like the Golden Retriever, these breeds are very loyal to their owners. They’re good at travelling through Deserts and Ocean biomes, and when they see a sheep, chicken, or cow they might chase it for fun. They are very fast breeds as well. The Border Collie will most commonly be found in Plains/Field, Deserts and Savanna biomes.
Cocker Spaniel
The Cocker Spaniel is a very intelligent, loyal and energetic dog. Sadly, like the Dalmatian, they aren’t so good at surviving Snow, Desert, and Ocean biomes and will get tired fast in them. This dog will refuse to fight Creepers, Skeletons and Enderman. They are commonly found in Taiga, Desert, Savanna and Beach biomes.
Wolf
The Wolf will keep the personality we all know and love, except they will most commonly be found in Plains, Snowy Tundra, Taiga and Mega taiga biomes.
So those are all of the breeds and their characteristics.
Why would this update exist?
To give wolves more variation, and make Minecraft more lively. When ocelots got more breeds, we loved them, so can you imagine if we had different types of dogs?
I’d also like to quickly mention; All of these breeds, except for the Husky, German Shepherd, and Golden Retriever would all be afraid of creepers and won’t attack them.
Thanks for reading. If you have any ideas for the suggestion just say so in a reply and I might add it.

I am most active on Discussion, but you'll see my messages all around the place since threads get moved a lot.
This is so cool, one of my favourite suggestions here. I think that they should actually have different shapes as that would make it easier to determine their breed. In code though, they would take up the same space.

Overall i I really love this idea!
Thanks! Also, yeah- I just didnt want this big wolf turning into this tiny chihuahua haha, but yeah changing some shapes in the design would be fine

Yea i posted an idea like this back in May. I think after cats got an update, wolves/dogs should have been next to get one. Kinda weird not to do that when so many players love dogs as much as cats
