Dog Emoji Kitchen
Dog entered Emoji Kitchen on 31 August 2021 with a single pairing, then received 180 eleven weeks later. That false start is the most interesting thing in its release table. It has 356 pairings today, which is almost exactly what wolf has, and 263 partners still return nothing.

These partners arrived in the 2 February 2026 release, so they are the ones least likely to have been seen before.

Dates read from the Emoji Kitchen sticker assets Google serves through Gboard, which stamp each combination with the release that introduced it.
The one-sticker debut
A debut of one happened to pink heart as well, and in both cases the real launch came later. For dog it was 15 November 2021, when 180 arrived at once. If you are reading the release table and the first row looks absurdly small, that is usually what you are seeing: a character being registered in the system before the artwork was ready, rather than a deliberately tiny release.
The most used animal, not the best covered
Dog is among the most sent animal emoji anywhere, and it has 356 pairings. Shark, which almost nobody uses in ordinary conversation, has 601. Emoji Kitchen coverage simply does not track messaging popularity, and assuming it does will send you looking for combinations that were never made. The front-facing dog face has the same compositional problem as wolf: ears, snout and eyes all have to survive, leaving little room for a partner.

Dog Emoji Kitchen FAQ
How many dog emoji combinations are there?
356 out of 619 possible partners. Dog launched with one pairing in August 2021 and received 180 more that November, which was its real start.
Why does the dog emoji have fewer mashups than shark?
Coverage does not follow how often an emoji is used. Shark was given a 250-sticker release in October 2024 and sits at 601. Dog has grown gradually and sits at 356.
Is this the dog face or the full dog emoji?
The dog face. Unicode also encodes a full-body dog, a guide dog, a service dog and a poodle. Each is drawn separately and mixes separately, so none of their stickers appear here.
