This mod turns Dogmeat into a Labrador with a variety of color options. There are several color options available, including yellow lab, chocolate lab, black lab, and Bruce.

5 . Floppy Eared Dogmeat
Floppy Eared Dogmeat does exactly what the name implies: it gives Dogmeat floppy ears. There are four options: two are basic mesh replacers for Dogmeat, giving him one or two floppy ears, one replaces him with a floppy-eared Raider dog, and the third only affects NPC raider dogs. Any of the two basic Dogmeat-only options will work with any existing Dogmeat retexture as long as it does not change meshes.

4 . Dog Combat Armours - Standalone and Craftable
This mod adds two sets of standalone dog armor based on the combat armor set that can be crafted at any in-game chemistry workbench. The light armor adds a few plates for protection while still allowing Dogmeat to move around freely, whereas the heavy armor makes Dogmeat look like a walking tank with a waggy tail. A modified Gas Mask that can be used with any dog armor is also included.

3 . Shei- Wolf Ally
Shei is a mutated Wolf companion who can be used in conjunction with any other existing companion (including Dogmeat). Because standard dog armor would not fit the wolf mesh, her mod includes a customized version of each vanilla dog armor designed to fit her better. The colors available are black, white, red, and glowing at will. She has the ability to Frenzy in combat, which increases damage and resistance for a short period of time. She can also use her own dog treats, which you can make, to replenish her health in combat.

2 . Ghost- White Dogmeat
This mod turns Dogmeat into Ghost the Direwolf from the Game of Thrones series. The white fur is amazingly detailed and the textures look nice and crisp. The red-eye can be added to make the dog look more realistic than ever. If you ever wanted your own virtual Direwolf, then this is the mod for you.

1 . K-9 Terminator-Synth Dogmeat
This mod transforms Dogmeat into a K9 Terminator and Synth at the same time. Original Dogmeat Colors, a Darker Version of the Original Color, and a Darker Version with a T800 Terminator Face are the three versions of the fur. This modifies the Dogmeat Skin Textures for the Body and Head, as well as new Normal and Specular Maps and a Glowing Red Eye.
