* {{Badass}}: Pretty much the majority of the cast.

* WeUsedToBeFriends: Dorian and Hoover used to be friends with Dirk but they grew apart as they grow older, [[spoiler:to the point of Dirk getting into a fight with Hoover after a disagreement with Dorian. By the end of the story arc, the three of them are on the road to repair their friendship.]]

* WorldOfBadass: Zigzagged between characters. Some characters are excellent fighters because of their species, particularly most of the cast being filled with big predators (such as felines and canines) with claws and teeth to kill and big prey (like bulls and horses) with hooves and horns to defend themselves. Other characters like Dorian (a rat) are just not meant to be fighters, which is why he relies on Hoover to do the fighting for him. Being a half fighting dog, Baul has trouble adapting to a world that is not this trope as he is discriminated for his breed.

* HellHound: Baskerville fits this theme with his [[RedEyesTakeWarning red eyes,]] black fur, and his occupation as an assassin.

Dogfight! Is a furry fighting KoreanWebtoon, featuring anthropomorphic animals engaging in martial arts. The story is written by Hyun-Wook in Naver under the title of "Gaepan" but it is also translated to English by PressedRatpie. The story focuses around Baul, an hybrid fighting dog who faces discrimination as a result of his pedigree. After his HairTriggerTemper prevents him from starting his boxing career as a result of him hurting a pure breed fighting dog who insulted him, Baul meets Alessa, a vixen who offers him work at Amaranth, an organization full of heroes that deliver justice where evil is lurking behind the shadows. While initially skeptical, after failing too many times in getting a job and a chance fight with a KillerRabbit, Baul finally decides to give Amaranth a try. Thanks to his new job, Baul will now find himself facing new enemies, those who oppose Amaranth...and those who lurk in the organization from the inside.

** RuleOfSymbolism: The pawn is the weakest and most expendable piece in chess, but it has the potential of defeating a queen and capturing the king in spite of that. He refers to Baul as such because he believes that Baul being unknown to the world gives him the potential of accomplishing much within the shadows.

* IdiotHero: Baul is not dumb per se but he does commit foolish mistakes that are lethal in his new line of work. This includes fighting against opponents that outmatch him, revealing his real name to Baskerville, and nearly revealing his mission to Pann in spite of the possibility of him being a traitor. He gets called out repeatedly on this.
