So I'm thinking of making a slight fursona change from a fox to a dogfox.

While this effectively means very little in terms of my appearance, it goes miles towards reconciling my identity as a furry and my identity as a pup. Besides, having the larger, stockier build and losing the tail better fits my body type and general artistic vision of myself.

So, what this will look like; Take my usual vulpine form and make it bigger, stockier and slightly more doglike, proportionally. Let one or both of the ears flop a bit. Perhaps add some dog facial markings-- perhaps. Finally, lose the tail (tis impractical in many situations and means I can't mount a waggy tailplug). Other vulpine characteristics such as the coat and markings remain.
