This is really cute, kiwi!

I also found the breeds a bit lacking in this new expansion pack and I'm glad people are expanding on them!

Great job-- I've bookmarked to download later, too lazy now. I'd love to see a westie made by you, you're amazing at this.

A few additional images of the dogs that couldn't legally fit in the original post. These show the dogs animated, and in context:

Like others I was disappointed by the standard breeds that were shipped with the expansion. It's like they never even *saw* one of these dogs before!

I love your poodles... a vast improvement!!! Now if I could only find a corgi that actually looks like a corgi. Curse EA and their discrimination of short legs! Like poodles, I fear we will never get a decent corgi, basset hound or dachshund out of them, either :/

Wow, this looks much better than EA's poodles!

Now, let's hope i can get cuter yorkshire terriers...

I imagine it won't be too long until we have a custom leg slider for dogs. It bothers me too!

What I really way are custom fur sliders, the options are so limited!

I love these pooches! Can't wait until I get my own copy of Pets (might beg my mom to get me one for Halloween) so I can play them, when I saw the large poodles in the Pets Demo I literally facepalmed. Adore yours, and also the little stories you wrote!

Awesome! The EA poodles are horrible! I worked on better ones myself (being a poodle crazy person and all), but these are adorable. Thanks!

@carlydunham

They go in the SavedSims folder just like regular Sims, and are found in the premade Sims in Create-a-Sim.

Nice poodles. What is your graphics card? The water is amazing. I can't wait to get Sims 3 Pets. I have already thanked these, as I know I will download them . ROLF Poodle Topiary .

Wow! This is amazing! Well done you! I have not yet bought PETS EP because I downloaded the demo and was massively disappointed by the breeds. I have a Dachshund at home and I can't believe how badly EA have designed the game!!! Why didn't they add sliders for body length and leg length? This would have allowed breeds like Corgis and Dachshunds to be made easily!!!

Great job! But I think you should add 'Pets' to the expansion requirements

Thanks for the reminder aidagarcia, when I uploaded them there didn't appear to be a checkbox for 'Pets' yet. There is now.
