We don't know

  • how much more damage war dogs do than regular dogs.
  • if dogs are still the best purchase at the embark screen for meat
  • that the comments about war dogs being "weak" still have any merit: personal experience suggests a pack of them are very dangerous indeed

This still needs to be tested.

Still relevant?

"A hunting animal will target the creature its owner is targeting if the owner is hunting, and it will be sneaking without a movement penalty if it is reasonably close to its hunting owner. A hunting animal notices creatures from farther away, although this isn't exactly effective if it decides to target what its owner is targeting. It all needs a bit of work, but that is true of hunting in general." -Toady One, long before DF2010
