All of the eeveelutions are dogs, with the possible exception of Espeon (which does look more like a cat, but it's inconclusive). Eevee itself is also a dog. I'm pretty sure it's an intentional reference to the fact that there are so many different breeds of dog, just as there are so many different variations of eeveelution. If any of the eeveelutions bear any resemblance to a fox, it's Espeon, which does kind of have a resemblance to a Fennec Fox, itself (enough so that it was mentioned on the Bulbapedia page for Espeon before Pokemon X and Y were announced).
To be honest, I'm surprised you haven't mentioned Entei. Not because it's a dog (it's not - it's a Lion), but because many think of them as the "legendary dogs" (they're not - they're a Lion, a Tiger, and a Panther).
