Dogmen who are bigger than usual for their type
Sometimes a Canin will be born different from others of his breed. These canin are often bigger, stronger, and tougher than most members of their specific breed. These individuals are called Bully Canin, because they are much more muscular than other canin. Despite the name, they are not actually bullies (most of the time). They are simply big for their breed

Special Qualities[edit]
A Bully Breed retains all of the special qualities of the base creature and also gains those described below
Powerful Build (Ex): The physical stature of a bully breed lets him function in many ways as if he were one size category larger. Whenever a bully breed is subject to a size modifier or special size modifier for an opposed check (such as during grapple checks, bull rush attempts, and trip attempts), the bully breed is treated as one size larger if doing so is advantageous to him. A bully breed is also considered to be one size larger when determining whether a creature’s special attacks based on size (such as improved grab or swallow whole) can affect him. A bully breed can use weapons designed for a creature one size larger without penalty. However, his space and reach remain those of a creature of his actual size. The benefits of this racial trait stack with the effects of powers, abilities, and spells that change the subject’s size category.
