Weird Playthrough, I need advice.

I'm planning a weird playthrough, and I need some advice.
The idea is a full trilogy playthrough with some mods (SCS, item randomized and something else).
What's weird in that?
Well... I have 3 dogs and a cat, and I want them to be my party.
I would like to create a multiplayer party so I can create 5 characters (me and my 4 pets).
I would like to change the animations of the character:
1) I want my dobermann to look like a wolf (a black one or something like that).
2) My apricot poodle should look like Rufie (the albert's dog)
3) my black poodle should look like .... I don't know, I will see which animation will fit better (it's smaller than the dobermann)
4) my cat will be a cat.
First question:
Can I do that? (I'm going to jailbreak my iPad, so I'll be able to full mod the game).
Race and class:
I don't care much about the race, but I want them to be of a class fitting with their "personality".
The dobermann is going to be the main fighter. I think he could be a Paladin.
The black Poodle is the coward, she likes to hide and bark at everything that make a single sound, so she's going to be the thief/rogue.
The cat is going to be a diviner (her sixth sense will help me with metagaming a bit).
The apricot poodle is the smallest of the dogs, and I have no idea wich class should be best for her.
I don't want them to use ranged weapons, because it will be unrealistic (if someone has a good idea, I will appreciate a lot).
My charname could be a Druid, but I don't like druids very much. He could be a ranger, but I want to cover all basic classes, so it depends on the other choices.
Second question:
Help me pick the classes for my party.
Third question:
Which mods would you install to improve my idea?
I will wait for the 1.3 patch on iPad, so I'm in no rush, but I'll need some time to test everything.

You're best bet is to make them as humans, set all the stats and classes you want and put the portraits on the animals how you want them then use the EE Keeper to change the model into the dog.
They also won't have little models in the inventory.
EE Keeper works with iPad.
If the iPad is not jailbreaked it can do few things, But I'm goint to jailbreak it, so I will be able to edit anything.
Of course I'll need a computer to do the modifications, but I'll be able to copy everything in the iPad.
I'll need a couple of wolf, a dog and a cat animations. I think there're enough. I'm not sure I will be able to use all of them in BG2EE...
My main concern is the model in the inventory. It would be awesome to change it. I hope some wizard of mods will be able to help me there (but I could live without it).
@Xanthul
That is my fear.
I don't know if I can equip a cat with a sword... If I can't I will edit all the character with EE Keeper to give them some attack bonuses with their unarmed attack, but it's my ultimate resort.
I can't test anything until a couple of days.
Weapons work without crashing the game (Atleast for me) on all of them.
That's wonderful.
Now I know I'll be able to do my playthrough as intended
And I will share it here.
I'll play it as a no reload full RPG run, but I won't let my pets die, so it will not be a real no reload run
Charname - gnome multiclass fighter-illusionist (he will be the only one able to use ranged weapons)
Dobermann - paladin
Black poodle - multiclass fighter-thief
Apricot poodle - cleric or multi cleric ranger (she will cure simply by licking wounds, she likes to do that all the time)
Cat - diviner
I can cover anything in this way.
*can't stop laughing
Reminds me a bit about this
1 option:
Dobermann - Monk
Black Poodle - Monk
Apricot Poodle - Monk
Cat - Monk
Charname - F/M/T
Monks can cure themselves, so i won't really need a cleric/healer.
2 option:
Dobermann - Monk
Black Poodle - Thief
Apricot Poodle - cleric/illusionist
Cat - diviner
Charname - Ranger (or any warrior type)
I could use this lineup in 2 different way:
I could use my pets without weapon at all (magic-users will only cast magic, the thief will onlys use her skill and traps). So Charname will be the only weapon wielder in the party.
Or I could decide to give daggers to the Black poodle (they are quite similar to claws).
But the best thing would be to use this:
Dobermann - Berserker
Black Poodle - Monk
Apricot Poodle - cleric/illusionist
Cat - Thief
Charname - Ranger or Druid.
That would do for me
And don't forget I have a sixth slot for a NPC.
