The dogs that chased Snowball were the puppies he took from Jessie.
Napoleon was thinking ahead. He knew from the very beginning that he would need to have some protection and reinforcement. Before anyone was even thinking about the pigs taking power, he was planning to have his own secret security force created.

Napoleon was thinking ahead. He knew from the very beginning that he would need to have some protection and reinforcement. Before anyone was even thinking about the pigs taking power, he was planning to have his own secret security force created.
It happened that Jessie and Bluebell had both whelped soon after the hay harvest, giving birth between them to nine sturdy puppies. As soon as they were weaned, Napoleon took them away from their mothers, saying that he would make himself responsible for their education. (Ch. 3)
Napoleon took these puppies when they were young and had them kept secretly away from all of the other animals. The other animals pretty much forgot about them. Meanwhile, Napoleon had them secretly trained to become guard dogs and enforcers. When Napoleon decided Snowball had outlived his usefulness, he had him run off. He used the dogs to do it. Almost fully grown, they were now big and scary.
At first no one had been able to imagine where these creatures came from, but the problem was soon solved: they were the puppies whom Napoleon had taken away from their mothers and reared privately. Though not yet full−grown, they were huge dogs, and as fierce−looking as wolves. (Ch. 4)
These dogs become Napoleon’s bodyguards. They stay close to him, and if anyone says or does anything he disagrees with, then they growl and look scary. The dogs also kill on Napoleon’s command, and soon no one is willing to say anything against Napoleon.
The secret dog police are an example of Napoleon’s cunning mind. He realized that if he was going to manipulate everyone into giving him control, eventually he would need to use force. Napoleon therefore arranged to take the animals with the sharpest teeth, animals that others would fear, and make them his enforcers so that no one could threaten his power.
