Better Dogs by Bellyache - Husky

Description
Better Dogs reskins dogs to look like Huskies. The companions effected are Meeko, Vigilance, and 'Stray Dog.' The non-companions effected are Barbas, Stump, Ysgramor, Tiber, and Torom. Bran, CuSith, Garmr, and Sceolang (the dogs from Dawnguard) are not effected.

Intro and Credit:
Better Dogs is a beautiful high res mesh and retexture for dogs, developed by Bellyache. ALL credit goes to the origional author. Their mod can be found at: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/1724. As her posted usage rights state, I am rebuilding the mod for the Workshop with no intention of profit from it. I just want to return a beautiful mod to use!

Main:
The dogs of the world should be valued companions, but with their ugly look, no one wants one! Now that doesn't have to be the case. This mod changes all the dogs in the game into a powerful looking husky, appropriate for the frozen north! Additionally, it makes it so that Vigilance, Meeko, and Barbas no longer effect your stealth meter and raises their level caps to 81, just like yours. They may not keep up in damage with daedric weapons, but at least they no longer hold you back!

Note:
There are a couple of new dogs to Dawnguard. This mod does not effect them. This mod does work with Dawnguard installed, but Bellyache never made skins for the Dawnguard dogs.

Update:
v2.0: Current Version - Made Meeko and Vigilance no longer ghost or invicible (or even essential). Removed the no-bark animations (they are no longer silent, if you want that see my other dog mods).
v1.1: Update - Dogs are no longer Ghosts (meaning they can be studdered by attacks now... SLIGHTLY less overpowered).
v1.0: Release - All dogs are now made into Huskies and silenced. Meeko, Barbas, and Vigilance no longer effect stealth meter, are invincible, essential, and ghost. Their level cap also raised to 81.

@RedMoonXX56 It is 6 years old, so it isn't being maintained any more. That said, everyone who has had issues has 'figured it out,' so I think it is, but I don't know.

Dont suppose I could request a Red Nose Pitbull mod? I want to RP with my dog Thunder. She's my little girl and I want to take her on my adventures so badly. ^.^

@timthemarinewitte ~65% of Huskies have two blue eyes, ~30% have two brown eyes, ~5% have heterochromia (differant colored eyes). Admittedly ~5% is MUCH higher then in humans, but it is very far from most.

@pixelmidget12 No. The change should be instant, unless you have another mod that alters dogs.
