Question - I would like to know what waterdogs eat? and habitat and
the water temperature.

Waterdogs and mudpuppys are salamanders that, like most, prey on whatever
smaller animals they can find and catch, insects, mollusks, other
arthropods, even small fish at times. They live in a variety of fresh water
habitats, usually larger ponds, lakes and rivers, throughout North America.
I don't know that they are very particular about water temperature.
