They replenish, so losing dogs doesn't really matter much. They have a +12 attack and +2 charge, nothing to sneeze at in a replenishing unit. I think they also have some negative morale effects on nearby enemies, but it has been awhile since I toyed with them. They were pretty good at causing a flank to rout as I recall.
