War-dogs were dogs bred to be used in battle. Most types of war-dog were descendants of the great Wolf-hounds, though the Númenórean "Rabî" were often thought to have some blood of the noble Hounds of Valinor, and the War-dogs used by Orcs and other troops of the Dark Lord were believed to have some blood from Wargs or Werewolves.
