Thank you all for your suggestions, it was wonderful to see so many of you take on board what I had said and give me some ideas.

However, there can only be one species! And that one is *drumroll please*


A HUSKY!


Yep, may be a bit predictable, but I will be fursuiting as a light brown/white husky doggy similar to this one :3 http://www.perrosamigos.com/images/husky.jpg

now all I need is help naming the little tyke! and then practice in drawing him ;)
