Wow, no one said mice. I thought they were a bit like Mickey Mouse with floppy ears. Am I crazy?
I found this on the web, looks like they were a combo of dogs, bunnies, and Mickey, so I wasn't too far off. What a great show! Thanks for reminding me!
[edit] The Warner Brothers (and the Warner Sister)
This show focused on the adventures, or the misadventures, of the Warner Brothers (Yakko and Wakko Warner) and the Warner Sister (Dot Warner), who, in the show, are the stars of some of the early Warner Bros. animated cartoons. These cartoons were so insane that the studio executives locked the films away in vaults and locked the Warners in the Warner Bros. Studios water tower in Burbank, California. The image of the Warners is a tongue-in-cheek homage to Bosko, Warner Bros.' first cartoon character.
The red-nosed Warner siblings bear a striking resemblance to the portrayals of Bosko and his girlfriend Honey (who looks remarkably like Dot) in a 1990 episode of Tiny Toon Adventures entitled "Fields of Honey", also produced by Steven Spielberg. Afraid that the portrayals of Bosko and Honey might be deemed controversial, they were changed to anthropomorphic dog-like characters, and that episode served as the "bridge" between Tiny Toon Adventures and Animaniacs.[citation needed]
As well as looking like Bosko, the Warners also bear a notable resemblance to animated characters from the 1920s and 1930s from other studios, including Felix the Cat, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, Bimbo, and the early version of Mickey Mouse. Simple black drawings with white faces were very common in cartoons of the 1920s and 1930s, and it is these sorts of characters to which the Warners are meant to pay an homage.
Originally, the Warners were intended to be ducks,[1] but producer Tom Ruegger realized that ducks had been used enough by Disney (see DuckTales and Darkwing Duck), so he made the Warners indeterminate "cartoon character" children. Although they looked somewhat like dogs, their specific "species" remained a mystery and was made fun of in many episodes.[2] Ruegger also modeled their personalities a bit after his three sons[1] (who all did voices on the series at one time or another [3]).

I'm pretty sure they were just Animaniacs.

It was never specified. The were called "puppy childeren" once by another character in jest. They are not dogs, however.
