Replaced one of the in-game pet dog options with a Red Heeler/Red Australian Cattle Dog

Red Heeler Texture Replacement 🐕

This mod retextures one of the game's pet dogs to look like a red heeler, aka a red Australian Cattle Dog!

✨ Main functions

🎯 **Flexible replacement options**:

  • Can choose which dog to replace (dog, dog1 or dog2)
  • Or added to the game as a completely new variety

🎨 **Personalization**:

  • Collars available in seven different colors (black, white, red, yellow, green, blue, purple)
  • You can choose whether to wear the collar or not
  • Optional collar with or without tags

🆕 Version update

**Version 1.1.0** Now allows the Red Heeler to appear as an additional breed! No longer replacing the original dog, it will now appear as a standalone option in the new game's character creation menu, or can be adopted at Marnie's ranch.

📥 Installation Guide

  • Download the mod, unzip the "[CP] Red Heeler Dog Retexture" folder and put it into your Mods folder
  • By default, the dog will replace the first dog option and not wear the collar
  • After installing the module, run the game once and generate the config.json file in the module folder.
  • Open the config.json file and edit the options you want

⚙️ Configuration options

**Add as new variety**: true, false

**Select dog to replace**: dog, dog1, dog2

💡 **Special Thanks**: This mod uses the Blue Heeler/Blue Australian Cattle Dog from Whitebalverines from their Australian Dog Pack mod as the base silhouette. Many thanks to them for the authorization!

Install & use Install: SMAPI mod (Stardew Valley standard)

  1. Install SMAPI first (Stardew Valley's mod loader): download it from smapi.io, run 'install on Windows.bat' and pick your game folder.
  2. Unzip the archive from playbuff and find the folder that contains manifest.json — that folder is the mod.
  3. Copy that whole folder into Stardew Valley/Mods/.
  4. Launch the game through SMAPI (run StardewModdingAPI.exe or set it as the launch option). The console before the title screen lists each mod's load result.

Cheat-style tools may not need SMAPI — unzip and run them as the readme describes. Back up your save before editing it; SMAPI lists failed mods in its console.
