The current theory, as far as I can gather, is that Pess (Jap: Pesu) is a Shiba Inu, which, as far as I'm concerned, is a totally random (yet somehow suitable) decision. So, to be discussed: Why is Pess a Shiba, how does it match Edgeworth's personality, and what other breeds would be logical for him to own?
As my first contribution, I happened to Google "pesu dog" and it came up with this. I believe that Pess is a robot.

But sometimes I like to ponder what other sorts of dogs he might have. It all depends on what your headcanon of Edgeworth is--I know a lot of people put him in an apartment, but I fancy him having a decent house with a decent yard just on that line riding between open space and downtown. So obviously he's going to have more room in my headcanon for a bigger dog than someone who thinks he lives in an apartment. And I think he would like a bigger dog; something that can sit around with him and that won't be dangerously underfoot. I'm not talking mastiff-sized big, but... you know, a fairly good size of dog. Shiba Inus run on the too-small end of the spectrum, for me. :/
I also like the idea of him having a dog that is somewhat elegant, but quite able to throw down if it so chooses. I imagine it would be a little quirky-looking. Intelligent and trainable, for sure--I can't see him putting up with a furniture-chewing thing from Planet Witless.
Maybe something that he could take along if he ever did something Von Karmaishly old school like hunting birds and such? That bit I'm not sure about yet. Some kind of useful dog that serves a purpose other than declaring one's wealth, anyhow. Not prone to shedding massive amounts of hair all over, either; too fastidious a personality for that. Quietish but still protective, too, and something that likes company but is perfectly fine with being alone for stretches of time.
Have been slowly whittling it down over the last week or two. I'm sure I'll figure out what I think for sure by the time a few more days go by.

However, I don't think he is one, because Pess was described being a "large dog". Some people have suggested a collie, so that's what he is in my fandom; I think a collie's elegence (and fluffiness) fits Edgeworth well.
lolz, this topic is kinda ironic, cause I just draw a picture of him a little while ago x3

An unusual choice, probably, and I know people might say this or that about one or two aspects of them--but I have my reasons. :)

And then I caught this picture on GoogleImage and was convinced that's the perfect dog for him. How did you find that breed, Poison?

That said, I've been looking at dog breeds trying to find one for Edgeworth. Admittedly I haven't been looking very hard, but I have it narrowed down to two types, and I have one representative dog from each type.
The first dog up is a Whippet, which I call an 'Edgeworth dog'. I chose it because it's temperament matches his personality well, and for some reason I can imagine Edgeworth owning a racing dog.
The second dog is a Nova Scotia Duck-Tolling Retriever, which I call a 'Phoenix dog'. It's temperament is closer to Phoenix's personality than Edgeworth's, but/therefore is very compatable IMO. I'm biased, I know, because my dog is a duck-toller, but since I have first-hand experience I know how Phoenix-like she can be.
I'm done for now; Design class is almost over.
Edit
In other news: Edgeworth loves Pesu more than court.

I can't imagine Edgeworth actually going and getting a dog of his own volition. You'll notice that all the people he's really close with came to him more from circumstances than him reaching out for them--like Gumshoe, one of the only "friend"-types he has, who he only knows because they cooperate for his job. Therefore, I imagine that Edgeworth found Pess unintentionally. I like the idea that Pess is a mutt that Edgeworth wound up finding hurt and feeling responsible for. He takes Pess to a vet and he and the dog hit it off, and Pess is welcomed into Edgey's home.

The reason I have Shiba Inu on the site is because when I joined the fandom, someone who had been there longer than me said that's what he was, and showed me a picture of a Shiba Inu with a bib on it that said Pesu (a photo, not a fanart. I think it's a reference to a real comedian's dog or something... I don't remember). Unfortunately I don't have that picture anymore and can't go back to confirm, but that's why it's on there.

Watch me kill it all over again with my uber thread-killing powersWell first off, *steals Gil's two cents*, cos they're shiny.
And I don't think Pess ever got any sort of mention in the games. He (she?) was just something that was mentioned in passing by the people who made the games, I believe, but the mere concept has caught the eyes of a lot of fans.

H-hey...I need those. D:
He never did, but...I really like the idea. It humanizes him a bit more, and gives him another perspective. Plus, I like dogs.

Actually, Akita Inu reminds me of Missile. They have the same color fur and pattern. Maybe the Police have a small Akita Inu.

I love Akita Inus (though when you said 'big dog' I was immediately put in mind of a Newf...). Edgeworth does seem to be the type to own a guard dog.
I had to look that one up
I guess a Eurasier sort of matches his personality...Which sort of brings up a point. Are we thinking of Pess as matching Edgeworth's personality or simply being compatible with it?
What traits do Edgeworth possess that a dog might also possess? What traits might a dog possess that would blend well with Edgeworth's personality? What sort of traits in a pet do you guys think Edgeworth would be attracted to?

Ok, so, I may have been a bit short (I was only around 5-6 when he died ;_; ) so I remember him being really big XD
I'm not so familiar with other breeds though so that really would be my only choice. So I'm biased xD

I always imagined Pess as either an Akita or Shiba Inu. It was mentioned somewhere that is what he/she was, and the mental image stuck.

No, it's not. It was stated--possibly joked, as the profile says--by one of the creators that Edgey has a "large" dog named Pesu (AKA Pess). Fans picked up on it. So I guess you could say he's more fanon than anything else.
As for Pesu's breed...I dunno much about dogs, so I haven't the slightest.

On a more serious note, I can see Pess as a scruffy brown dog with a swishy tail. Kinda like an oversized Benji? If he were a small dog though, Pess would totally be a Pom. I can't get the image out of my head of Edgeworth with a froofy little ball of fluff.

A Great Dane would be awesome. But it would probably overpower Edgeworth...
