àGenerations: the puppies, the adult dogs.

I : The puppies (àtop)
The Quin-Puplets Both Fifi and Pluto's unnamed boisterous five children appear in the cartoon "Pluto's Quin-puplets", from November 26, 1937. (one-shot) 
Junior  Pluto's son appears in the cartoon "Pluto, Junior", from 28, 1942, by the name of Junior. It is the second time we see some of his children. Junior's mother is unknown.Pluto acts more as a father with him, whereas he was more like a friend for his Quin-Puplets.(one-shot)
Pluto's Nephew  (one-shot)
Behemoth  Bolivar's son, Behemoth "Behe", appeared in the Taliaferro strips for a while in the late 1940s), and even in one Barks story, "WDC&S" #111's love letter tale from Dec. 1949. His mother could be the female St-Bernard among the crowd of Pluto's dog fans in the cartoon "Pluto's Blue Note" from December 26, 1947. 

II : The adult dogs (àtop)
Fifi the Peke Minnie's pekinese dog since her youth, accordind to the "Minnie'n me" storyline, she is also Pluto's greatest love, since she has had a litter of five puppies with him (the "Quin-Puplets"). she first appears in "Mickey Mouse" Sunday strip, from March 6, 1932, as "Flapper", and then as "Fifi" in the cartoon "Puppy Love" from September 2, 1933. Among the others Pluto's loves, she is the only one who ONLY loves Pluto (as Dinah and Tiki also like Butch), excepted for the tale  "Puppies are Coming", from a "Minnie'n me" book from 1991, in which she has four Pekinese puppies whose father is unknown.
Pluto the Pup Mickey's dog first appears in "The Chain Gang" , fromSep. 5, 1930 - as an unnamed dog, but the first time he is called Pluto and belongs to Mickey is in "The Moose Hunt", from May 3, 1931.
Kid Brother "K.B." In the cartoon "Pluto's Kid Brother", from April 12, 1946, we can meet this Pluto's younger brother. In this cartoon, Kid is putting Pluto into troubles with Butch, Lucifer the cat, and the dogcatcher... Together with Junior and the Quinpuplets, they are the only dogs who are from the same species than Pluto.  (one-shot)
Dinah the Dachshund Pluto second biggest love. He seems to be very in love with her, although she sometimes seems to date Butch too. In her first cartoon, "The Sleepwalker", from 1942, she is shown to already have puppies, and so she has in "Canine Casanova" , from1945, but as I have never seen those cartoons, I cannot say how many puppies there are, neither if they are the same in those two cartoons. HELP WELCOME!!!
Except for the cartoon "In Dutch" , from 1946, that cannot be taken as factual as it takes place in the Netherlands, in which she is the Mayor's dog, she doesn't have known owners in any cartoons. The only time we see her owner is in MM 19/11/50, and it is Black Pete, a dog catcher who uses her to make dogs follow her and be caught. 
Chainsaw Pete's family Pekinese, Chainsaw is regular on the series "Goof Troop" since the series premiere "Forever Goof/The Goof Neighbor", 1992.
Muncey Black Pete's English Sheepdog, he first appeared in "The New Neighbor" from August 1, 1953, in which he annoys Donald Duck, and then he has been reused only once in an episode of "Mouseworks" from June 6, 1999, "Pluto vs. the Watchdog", in which Mickey has to buy a new dog because Pluto is not able to watch-dogging... but he didn't know it was Pete's dog, who will help him to burgle Mickey's house... 
Butch Big, burly, macho blue-gray and white bulldog with a studdedcollar, heavy black eyebrows and a snarling mouth full of sharp teeth, Butch is first seen in the cartoon "Bone Trouble" ,from 1940. Until then, he is Pluto's worst ennemy, except in a "Mouseworks" ' episode, 
"Pluto's Arrow Error", in which he falls in love with Pluto because of a mistake of him with some magic love arrows...
Tiki  In the cartoon  Pluto's Penthouse Sweet, an episode form the Mouseworks, first shown on TV on May 8, 1999, Pluto fall in love with Tiki, a Maltese Terrier, and spies and pursues her to her sky-high skycraper, which is very difficult because Butch also loves her and guards the building. Finally, he succeeds in going into her appartement, and she jumps on him, but he realizes that he loves Mickey and that he would be sad without him, so he goes back to his house, which is even more difficult than coming...  Her owner is a woman, whose name must be Penthouse, as it is written on the door. (one-shot)
Bolivar the St-Bernard First seen in the cartoon "Alpine Climbers" from July 25, 1936, Bolivar is reused in comic-books as Donald's dog.
Fido In the dailies of the late 1940's, Taliaferro leaves Bolivar and give another dog to Donald : Fido the Cocker Spaniel.
Grand Genius III of old Siwash the Smugsnorkle Squatty Donald Duck buys this pet, said to be a very intelligent dog, in "Donald Duck: The Smugsnorkle Squattie", WDC&S #70 from 1946, by Barks, but this one doesn't seem to care of his authority...
Bowser In the "Geef" short "Man's Best Friend" (1952), Goofy buys a pet dog named "Bowser", who appears again in two other "Geef" cartoons.
General Snozzie The Official Hound of the Junior Woodchucks, whose nose can detect any substance on command first appeared in Carl Barks's Dodging Miss Daisy (WDCS#213). In the story "W.H.A.D.A.L.O.T.T.A.J.A.R.G.O.N.", Don Rosa shows him younger and called "Major" Snozzie instead of "General" Snozzie.
Tagalong Herbert's dog Tagalong, from "Donald Duck: The Smugsnorkle Squattie", WDC&S #70 from 1946, by Barks, is more clever than the very expensive dog that Donald bought, disgusted by this mutt...
Ottoperotto In Italian stories, the Beagle Boys are known as "Banda Bassotti" (the "Dachshund Gang) and their pet is a "real" Dachshund (bassotto) dog named Ottoperotto (meaning: 8 x 8) which explains his placard which reads "64." Ottoperotto is a creation of Pier Carpi from "Topolino Almanacco" issue in 1964.
