Howdy! Welcome to WOLF. I'll take a stab at answering your questions, let me know if you need any more clarification or have further questions. <3
A) SIZE
a-1. When listing a dog's size, should it be relative to the size of wolves or the character's breed base?
This is up to player preference; in general most players seem to do it based on their species.
a-2. There is a listed maximum size a character is allowed to be, but is there a minimum limit too?
There is no minimum as long as it falls within what is realistic for that species/breed. So, no Nanopups - but a 9 inch small dog breed is totally fine.
B) BREEDS
b-1. There are dog breeds that have extreme natural advantages, others severe disadvantages and some are exceedingly rare - are any of them outright prohibited from being played?
Nope! So long as it is an extant wolf species, or extant dog breed, it can be played here.
C) HEAT
c-1. The breeding rules on the forum very clearly were made for wolf characters, but what about female dogs, who do not have a mating season but instead go into heat twice a year?
The breeding rules apply to all played characters regardless of species - this is just to keep the game wolf-centric and fair. Each gestational character is allowed only one litter per year, within our breeding season.
D) AGE EXPECTANCY
d-1. Site rules state wolves reach old age at 7-8 years old and live up to 10 years, but what about dogs with much shortet lifespans? Would semi-realism allow them to exceed their age expectancy, or would they turn into elders much earlier?
This is totally up to player preference; the CM team doesn't police ages beyond the overall limit (10) specified in the Guidebook.
