Its not one of the choices, I realize, but you could do a chimera maybe?
In Percy Jackson BOOK (not the movie!) The Lightning Thief, He gets on the elevator of the Saint Louis Arch with an old lady, a couple (just some tourists), and the old lady's nerving Chihuahua. It later ends up that the lady was the Greek figure, Echidna, and the "dog" was actually her child, a Chimera.

If you don't like this idea I can try and come up with some stories from the dogs you posted. I just don't know one off the top of my head right now.

Theres the chimera - a greek creature that has the head of a lion with a blood-caked mane, the body of a goat, and a long ten-foot long snake tail.
Theres hellhounds, which you may have heard of. They've been described as large large black dogs with red eyes and possibly breathing fire.
There are telkhines, which I absolutely adore. They have the sleek black body of a seal and the black head of a dog (muzzle, pointy ears, like a Doberman). THey have stubby legs that are like flippers with feet and they have humanlike hands with claws.
These are all greek mythical dog/creatures by the way. I suggest looking through here: http://camphalfblood.wikia.com/wiki/Percy_Jackson_and_the_Olympians
They're not All dogs but there are a lot of cool greek creatures/monsters to look at.
