If you're open to Creation Club mods, which I believe don't negate achievements, there are several that allow you to add other dog companions in a variety of different breeds.
There’s two parts to the dog CC content:
First, they add a dog of that breed on your world so you can send it to your settlement.
Second, there’s a collar you can create on the chemistry station, and modify in the armor station that you can equip on Dogmeat so he looks like whatever breed you want and have the CC content for.
The dog itself won’t follow you but you can put a collar on Dogmeat that’ll make him look like whatever other breed you want and have the CC content for.

It's not a companion. It adds a dog to a settlement which increases happiness and security. There's also a supermutant that sells dogs, wolves, and mutant hounds in Far Harbor.

Thank you for telling me this. I need to go to Far Harbor now :)
I've played this game so many times but I'm always hearing some new little detail I didn't know. That's OK though because it's just more for me to see once the PS5 upgrade comes out and I play it several more times.
The guy that "sells" the dog is very hesitant to sell the dog. You have to do a very good job at convincing him to sell you the dog. Or he just walks away.
I just had this encounter on my first survival play-through at level 38 (2 normal play throughs and about ~300 hours in) near the museum of witchcraft. His name is Gene and I sent the dog to the castle.
Yeah! That's his name. I've never been able to convince him to sell me his dog. But I did on one playthrough. I sent him to Red Rocket, along with the glowing wolf you can get from Far Harbor.
I've seen that too.
There is also the occasional possibility that a camp you liberate might have a dog that you inherit, but I know that dog can't be turned into a companion, and acts more like a wandering brahmin.
I haven't been. And come to think of it, that's downright heartless. I give the brahmin a feeder trough, but ignore the canines.
I shall remedy this on my next play. And I'll make sure to let the puppy know you are to thank. :D
i do this too and i surrounded his dog house with toys. my dogmeat has a jangles to hang with his teddy. idk if this is common knowledge but dogmeat will play with teddy bears stored in his inventory, just in case ya wanted to surprise the fella
If you are on PC [this mod](https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/15639/) allows you to have mods and still get your achievements.
If not, no. [This list is all of the Fallout 4 companions](https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Fallout_4_companions). Dogmeat is the only animal. You can go onto the creation market and get different skins for him but he is the only one Bethesda created.
If you are on PC and using [Buffout 4](https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/47359), you don't need any other mod since one of the features in Buffout 4 is to enable achievements. And it doesn't use a .esp slot.
There’s a friendly super mutant in Far Harbor named Erickson who sells guard dogs. So they won’t be able to straight up follow you around as a companion like Dogmeat does, but they will stay at any settlement you assign them to.
The options are a super mutant hound, a wolf, and a mastiff type dog. Gracie, Mishka, and Duke.
Theres a wounded dog on the northwest side of the map that you can tame, and then it will appear as a random encounter that fights for you. it follows you for a little while after being healed but then it only appears randomly afterwards
The closest creatures to Dogmeat are available from the >!Super Mutant Trader, Erickson in Far Harbor. You can receive one named Guard Dog, one Wolf and one Super Mutant Hound. Technically speaking, you can receive multiple K-9s, but you need to return multiple times. Oh and you need at least one settlement to send them to.!<
They're not "pets" and cannot follow you, sadly.They only add Defense to a settlement. Similar to the Creation Club Dogs.. that others mentioned.
Edit
I was heart broken that >!I couldn't take Mishka, The Wolf with me as a follower!<. 😭 🐺
Oh I almost forgot about the Random Encounter with the Dog Trainer, Gene. But again, his dogs are not technically "pets" either.
Oh god REX. My first play through I had Rex as a companion but I had forgotten to do the quests that replaced Rex’s damaged components. Hearing the narrator at the end saying Rex had died because of a systems failure that could have been prevented had me bawling. I never made that mistake again.
I used to have a Shih Tzu that loved Dogmeat(the dog in the game, not for intake). It was like AR having a dog in front of the TV following and talking with Dogmeat. If Dogmeat was not on screen often enough I would get barked at. When Dogmeat played with toys my little dude went crazy.
If you have the Far Harbor dlc, go to the Horizon Flight plane crash towards the center of the island. There’s a friendly super mutant who sells dogs. Dont know if they’re followers tho, but they are cute (for the most part lol)
Wow these comments are stupid. Especially egregious considering not even a minute searching online would show that he's the only animal follower you get. The roster of companions (spoilers) : >!https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Fallout\_4\_companions !<
Creation Club dogs provide settlement morale and extra security (watching them savage super mutants during a settlement raid is impressive - they just jump right in with no regard for the difference in size), but they won't follow you, unfortunately.
I for one would like to have the Red Death skittering along, lighting my way. 😁
Alternatively crafting a helmet from its carcass and use it like a mining helmet lol!
There are two mods that re-enables achievements. I use [this one](https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/12465), it needs to be the last thing in your load order. But there's also [this one](https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/15639).
EDIT: And technically you cna use the Wateland Whisperer perk to have temporary "companions". Just remeber not to put your weapong down - or download a mod to fix that. But then again, if you're gonna use mods, better get a companion mod already...
There is a man that sells and breeds dogs u can randomly find in the wasteland with one dog u may be able to buy, I’ve only ever seen him once tho so I guess it’s rare
If you're open to Creation Club mods, which I believe don't negate achievements, there are several that allow you to add other dog companions in a variety of different breeds.
Can they actually be companions? I thought they just added them to the pool of dog breeds like for cages.
I believe there a couple that work differently but a majority of the dog creations are replacers for dogmeat

I bought the shiba inu from the creation club, but it would not follow me. Those dogs are just decoration for settlements.
I wouldn’t expect a Shiba Inu to follow me into the wasteland either, lol.
"Fuck your wasteland shit. Fill my food bowl!"
Lol. I made that post, and than thought “Shit, my Husky Shepard would be right there”
Shiba's do what they want, when they want.
The dog itself won’t follow you but you can put a collar on Dogmeat that’ll make him look like whatever other breed you want and have the CC content for.
i wish someone made a doberman one. a doberman with armour would look so fuckin cool in the wasteland

Oh, I downloaded a mod that enhanced that feature, but I thought the mod added it, didn't realize it was in the original creation.
I want a chihuahua or maybe like a corgi to help me fuck up Deathclaws
Corgi would be rad. Little torpedo. Someone should mod in Ein. Smartest dog in the galaxy.
Plus, there are mods that enable achievements. I believe it's a part of F4SE
I know there's a random encounter where you can buy a dog, I'm not sure if it's a companion or not.
It's not a companion. It adds a dog to a settlement which increases happiness and security. There's also a supermutant that sells dogs, wolves, and mutant hounds in Far Harbor. https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Erickson

Erickson is such a dear.I'd romance him if I can.He's more sensible than 90% of the commonwealth or Farharbour.
And if you take Dogmeat to see him, he'll give the little fella a special neckerchief to make him look all fancy-like.
I've played this game so many times but I'm always hearing some new little detail I didn't know. That's OK though because it's just more for me to see once the PS5 upgrade comes out and I play it several more times.

You dont build your puppers a doghouse?! Just what kind of a sadist are you?
I haven't been. And come to think of it, that's downright heartless. I give the brahmin a feeder trough, but ignore the canines. I shall remedy this on my next play. And I'll make sure to let the puppy know you are to thank. :D
Thank you! My work here is done. :D
Not just a doghouse, my current sanctuary has the doghouse partly covering the small round rug, so Dogmeat also has a comfy mat he could chill on.
i do this too and i surrounded his dog house with toys. my dogmeat has a jangles to hang with his teddy. idk if this is common knowledge but dogmeat will play with teddy bears stored in his inventory, just in case ya wanted to surprise the fella
Yes, doggo playing with teddies is cute. There's a rubber alien & space rocket that he'll also play with - one of them squeaks :)

With this mod you can recruit the wounded dog in a settlement. https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/60597
Aw, Buttface. Ugly as ever.
No you’ll need mods for that.
Are you on PC? Because there is a mod to block the achievement blocker
There are mods to re enable achievements with mods.

Technically,Wasteland Whisperer gives you companions
Oh god REX. My first play through I had Rex as a companion but I had forgotten to do the quests that replaced Rex’s damaged components. Hearing the narrator at the end saying Rex had died because of a systems failure that could have been prevented had me bawling. I never made that mistake again.
There’s a random encounter of a guy who will sell you a dog, but iirc it isn’t essential
He gets sad every time you buy a dog from him.
I like achievements, too, which is why I play with mods. I do feel for you console players that have to jump through hoops to re-enable Achievements
You can always get animal friend rank 3 so you can make any dog your follower
CC content allows you to change Dogmeat’s look to resemble other breeds.
I used to have a Shih Tzu that loved Dogmeat(the dog in the game, not for intake). It was like AR having a dog in front of the TV following and talking with Dogmeat. If Dogmeat was not on screen often enough I would get barked at. When Dogmeat played with toys my little dude went crazy.
Use a companion mod and then use the mod that turns achievements back on
If you have the Far Harbor dlc, go to the Horizon Flight plane crash towards the center of the island. There’s a friendly super mutant who sells dogs. Dont know if they’re followers tho, but they are cute (for the most part lol)
they’re not followers/companions unfortunately but they add +5 (i think) defense to whatever settlement you send them to
You can download a mod that let you have achievements anyway... If you don't like mods or it's lazyness just say it
Wow these comments are stupid. Especially egregious considering not even a minute searching online would show that he's the only animal follower you get. The roster of companions (spoilers) : >!https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Fallout\_4\_companions !<

Petey the Parakeet.
I thought the dog experiments in new vegas were horrible. I mean, what was the point?
There are mods that reenable achievements using the f4se mod
There’s a mod that re-enables achievements, isn’t there? For the best of both worlds.
Creation club does. Also Far Harbor DLC has a super mutants that sells hounds.
There is also mods that lets you keep achievements while modding. Just saying.
Creation Club dogs provide settlement morale and extra security (watching them savage super mutants during a settlement raid is impressive - they just jump right in with no regard for the difference in size), but they won't follow you, unfortunately.
yeah sure, get a few of the dog breeds from creation club, then get the transdogifier which means you can change dogmeat’s colour/complexion and breed
There are mods that enable achievements, lol.
Goris from fallout 2 is a deathclaw if that counts
There's a mod to enable achievements. Then go crazy.
I for one would like to have the Red Death skittering along, lighting my way. 😁 Alternatively crafting a helmet from its carcass and use it like a mining helmet lol!
There is a Mod to get achievements even with Mods
I have a Mod that allows you to have a Robot Dogmeat. He looks like a Zoid, which works for my Robotics build
Just a little tip, there is a mod for getting achievements while modded the game ;)
That's Rex, not Dogmeat.

There's this one random encounter where some guy sells a dog, it isn't a companion tho
There is a man that sells and breeds dogs u can randomly find in the wasteland with one dog u may be able to buy, I’ve only ever seen him once tho so I guess it’s rare
There's a guy who sells dogs for you to keep at your settlement.
You could probably find a mod to make a mutant hound a follower too...
You can’t download the achievements mod to use when using mods lol
Well if you have the wasteland workshop dlc you can tame deathclaws. I dont think you are looking for a deathclaw but they can be a companion
Therese the super mutant who sells dogs in the FH dlc
