I have this problem in 1.8. The tamed wolves stop following me when they lose sight of me. they rarely teleport to me, and when they do they tend to teleport into a cactus. Occasionally a lost wolf will find me when I am exploring however they tend to get lost again quickly.

I am also having this issue. I'm constantly needing to turn around to go regather the wolves. They rarely teleport. This also happens to ocelots. It basically removes this part of the game for me.

The reason why a dog or cat cannot teleport to you while you are in water is because the method net.minecraft.entity.ai.EntityAIFollowOwner.updateTask() requires a solid opaque block below the mob, but I am not sure if this is the bug described here. Additionally fixing this would create problems when the water is only one block thick and the mob falls through it.
