I hate to be like this, but you did try it in the game right? I'm very new to the CS still, and my guess is that the CS just shows a standard model? I don't know. I could be wrong. Sorry I couldn't be of any more help, I know how frustrating all this is, just from events tonight. I tryed that now, it still has poined ears. I put the mesh in the 'Dog' folder, and it shows up on the list when I edit a dog, but when I click it, the little render on the edit screen shows pointed ears. I know it's the right one because the new texture works.
