In short, for genetics and blanks, we couldn't pull it off at all. Dogs have hundreds of different breeds that can't be generalized like a cat's. Cats all look vaguely alike, while dogs are all unique. mutts can have different family histories- a mutt is the child of any two dogs, really, that aren't of the same heritage. You could have a pomeranian and a chihuahua have a tiny, fluffy baby, while a Great Dane and a Boxer have a larger puppy, and both would be classified as mutts.

And I don't know squat about dogs whatsoever. I know random trivia, but pelts and whatnot? Their genetics are very very different from cats'. Cats are easy because the dominant colors are so easy to predict. Dogs have hundreds of genes you need to take into consideration from both parents, along with aunts and uncles and grandparents. Does this make sense? I feel like I'm repeating myself trying to elaborate.
