This probably was not on yet. Comes with more GIs than dogs tho so not very cost effective if you just want the pooches.

Unless they've changed their production methods completely, I'd stay clear of any Dust models that are "primed and assembled", because from my experience, that means the plastic is a soft, out of shape rubber with huge mold lines, poor details and a thick layer of green spray paint that hides what little detail that's left. Which is a shame, because their sculpts are usually good.
If you're convincing yourself that you're infallible, you can never improve.

Not to mention that dust is 1:48 scale so might be a bigger than most 28-30mm.  It's fine for vehicles or mecha but figures might be a different matter.

Not by as much as you might think, I'd say.
http://heros.netai.net/pix/GWSM-D.jpg

Granted, it's an old Space Marine and the pix's comparing it to a model that's representing a female (since I don't have that many Dust minis on hand) but I don't expect them to be significantly shorter than regular infantry males (the heavy/powered infantry in the line OTOH are taller than one might expect for just having more armor).

So I would think the size difference for the dogs pictured is somewhat negligible, given the general variation in "28mm scale" model size.

Anyway, more doggies that possibly have not been on yet (one day soon I'll get around collating a post of all the different ones):

Yes, I mix in a few Dust figures here and there. They work as taller people.

But I do work to a slightly larger scale, in the 32mm-35mm range or so. Copplestone, as the bulk of my figures, serves as my baseline for "average" height, but there are larger folks certainly)

I added the initial Cyber Hounds from Blind Beggar Miniatures but now there have been several more added to the Sci-Fi Characters range....











(More can be found here: http://blindbeggarminiatures.co.uk/shop/categories/Sci-Fi/Characters )


.... as well as the pair of Afghans in the Baxterville pack in the Pulp section.



(Found here: http://blindbeggarminiatures.co.uk/shop/products/9eec3a1e-079d-4cee-a511-b451c6b20a14 ).

Previously on KickStarter, now apparently available for general consumption -- a "true 28mm" Schnauzer, comes with a space-Nazi-ish scifi human only apprently: http://store-rbjgc-com.3dcartstores.com/STB401-GENERAL-AURORA-SALT-SERGEANT-PEPPER_p_68.html

Another version is available in RBJ Games recent KS as a separate add-on, see http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=97151.0

---

For something in a larger scale (ca. 32mm) and in a stempunky/weird style, see:
https://www.wyrd-games.net/news/2016/7/11/monday-preview-the-wild-ones
https://www.wyrd-games.net/plastic-build-instructions/2015/8/20/relic-hunters

Neither Iggy Pup nor Luna are available separately I would think, and moreover the sets may be of limited availability.

These may have been on already but just in case not (still working up the energy to collate the various links) -- various "true 28mm" scale alt-World-War-2 warhounds from Black Ball Games can be found under http://blackballgames.bigcartel.com/category/ae-wwii

This should definitely be a new one -- another cyborg dog, this time from Brother Vinni's Nuclear Sandlot series (so not for those who find not-something type minis problematic):

Fairly new one so I assume missing from the thread:
http://store.bombshellminis.com/60032-doberman/

A very straight-up Doberman dog, more so that I'd expected from Bombshell.

Big new(ish) doggies from Hasslefree, currently available as "resin masters":
http://www.hfminis.co.uk/shop?product=resin-master-%252d-battle-chip~hfmaster-m037&category=fantasy-%26%0D%0Asteampunk~fantasy-monsters-%26-animals
http://www.hfminis.co.uk/shop?product=resin-master-%252d-chip~hfmaster-m035&category=fantasy-%26%0D%0Asteampunk~fantasy-monsters-%26-animals

The former is more medieval/fantasy than pulp, the latter is more suitable for a generic large canine: "he represents an animal approximately 3ft in height and 5ft in length and very muscular".

Figured I should throw in a photo of a bulldog named Winston finding a plot point in a game of Pulp Alley. Sorry I can't tell you where this dog came from, since he belongs to a friend of mine.
