Does anybody know where there are good tutorials on how to model 4 legged animals, I want to model a small dog, more specifically a yorkshire terrier, for animation purposes. I just want to get the general topology correct so the verts don’t warp incorrectly come time to rigging. Plenty of tutorials on modelling humans but not enough on the other…:no: Any and all help will be so greatly appreciated!!! 
there is a very good tutorial for a cartoon dog specifically for maya
(it translates to blender - just different buttons)
I think there is a free dog mesh in one of the other free tutorials
http://www.simplymaya.com/movie_pages/category.mhtml?cat_id=23
(you have to register to be able to DL but it’s free)
the 2 tutorials I am talking about are called “cartoon dog”
and “skeleton basics” - that is about rigging but they make the mesh available to DL so you can have a look at how it is put together
(I haven’t checked what format the mesh is in - so it might not be able to be imported)
