'''Carrying Capacity:''' A light load for a riding dog is up to 100 pounds; a medium load, 101–200 pounds; and a heavy load, 201–300 pounds. A riding dog can drag 1,500 pounds.

===Combat===
If trained for war, these [[SRD:Animal Type|animals]] can make trip attacks just as [[SRD:Wolf|wolves]] do (see the Wolf entry). A riding dog can fight while carrying a rider, but the rider cannot also attack unless he or she succeeds on a [[SRD:Ride Skill|Ride]] check.

'''[[SRD:Skills (Creature Statistic)|Skills:]]''' Riding dogs have a +4 racial bonus on [[SRD:Jump Skill|Jump]] checks. 

<nowiki>*</nowiki>Riding dogs have a +4 racial bonus on [[SRD:Survival Skill|Survival]] checks when tracking by [[SRD:Scent|scent]].
