here is Dog.h
#pragma once
#include <list>

class SerializedObject;

class Dog
{
public:
	static const int SID = 1;
	static Dog* NewDog() { return nullptr; }
	static void DeleteAll() {}
	static Dog* CreateFromSO(SerializedObject* tSO) { return nullptr; }
	static Dog* FindDogFromID(int tID) { return nullptr; }

	int mAge = 0;

	SerializedObject* Serialize() { return nullptr; }// Only we know how to smoosh ourselves.  Everyone knows what an SO is

private:
	int mObjectID = 0; // Which Dog object am I?
	Dog() {} // Can't make a person without going through our factory

	static std::list<Dog*> sAllDogs;

};


What I have tried:

now I need to create some new dogs in the main()
I have tried to do it like this: Dog* Dog1 = new Dog;
but I have errored with Dog and have no idea why it happened. Could you guys help me pls?

I believe your problem can be summarized by this line in your code :
C++
Dog() {} // Can't make a person without going through our factory
Sometimes a static method of the class is used by the factory to create new objects but I don't see any methods here that do anything constructive - they all return nullptr.

PS - pun intended. ;)

For some reason you are using a private constructor.Of course, you can't call this up directly.
Here is the principle how it could look like :

Rick is right and so need to reshuffle some code. I missing a useable Dog-factory like

C++
Dog* createName(String *master, String *kind, String birthday, int gender, String *dogName);

Why should a Dog-factory create 'names' ?
:-D
