I can confirm this for all 1.7 Snapshots and to the current 1.7.1 Pre-Release. It appears classic ocean floor generation (Sand, Clay, and Dirt) generate in higher elevations of the ocean biome, including around small islands. Most of the surface of the Ocean and Deep Ocean biome is however entirely gravel.
I can confirm that in 1.7.4 untamed or Passive wolves do despawn.
In vanilla SMP I leaded and moved 4 wolves 1000 blocks to my pet shop where they can be distributed to players for them to tame. After moving away and unloading the chunk and returning, the wolves had despawned.
