From what I can tell looking at the video, they'll be a randomly encountered mob. So I'd guess there would be more puppies respawning to take the place of that little guy that you was playing fetch with, only to get into a fight over the bone with a Creeper. -
ill train my wolves to bring me the slippers and the newspaper in the morning.

Heh heh...

bone with a Creeper.
Yes I like but with the mention of dragons and riding a horse, other stuff etc I am getting worried that Notch & co are losing sight of the simplistic values that brought so much love for the game in the first place.
Am I the only one with these anxieties? Maybe I should chill more... -
David :
Yeah, I'm almost starting to think that as well. It's only in Beta still, so this is the time for Notch to try things out and toss them before the final version (If there ever will be) if they don't settle well with the people.
Not entirely sure on what I'll think of it, so I guess I'll have to wait and see.

I'm concerned of the RAM and CPU usage and all the leaks.
Gaaaaah.
We'll trial them out if its a Minecraft added feature. -

I'm not worried about all these additions for horses and dragons. End of the day I just see them as more methods of transportation, which you need alot of if you plan to explore the whole of your Minecraft world at a reasonable speed. I mean look at Blinky... If he didn't have the Uber Rail to zoom him back and forth from home (with no warps) he'd be making one seriously long commute. The future additions of more travel methods I think will add a variety of more appropriate trasportation for various distances and environments. Rails will likely always stay top dog as I can't see you being able to give a horse or dragon the speed boost you can to a minecart, but said critters have the advantage of not needing a set of rails to move.
It's not like Mojang are adding hats... -
Now that you put it like that...I must say I agree!
Hmm minecart contraptions you say? Interesting. -
believe me davh27, it will be all good. notch doesnt add random Griefers to the game.

What concerns me is the pathfinding ability. Mobs are pretty stupid, when they see you, the run towards you, ignoring everything on the ground, so they run into deep pits, water, lava lakes, rushing water streams, glass walls, etc. I hope the wolves have a better pathfinding ability, and can managed to keep up with the player as he/she navigates through some tricky landscapes. I hate to imagine some of your wolf pack getting killed just because you walked across a bridge over a deep pit, or some of your wolves getting suck on the other side of a 2 block high wall, when there is a step over that ledge just a few blocks away.
One thing I've always hated in games that give you a 'companion' that follows you around.... having to babysit them to keep them alive till you reach the next fight, where they might actually help you out in some way. Fallout3 seems to have solved that issue somewhat, so its not impossible to implement, I just have my doubts about how well it will be implemented by Mojang in the first wolf-enabled release. -
They could implement a teleport feature, like they have in some two player "couch" games. When a player gets too far behind, they would just teleport ahead to the other player.
Something like that may solve getting stuck behind a wall, while you went up the stairs.
