Dogs and Concepts (Serious)

I had a series of thoughts that left me with questions regarding Concepts and how they affect things.
To help convey my predicament I decided to use Dogs.

Let's we have Dog. Let's also say there also exists the opposite of Dog, let's call this 'Anti Dog'.
Now let's do something crazy, let's remove the concept of "Dog" entirely, the whole thing. What then, happens to 'Anti Dog'?

Is 'Anti Dog' unaffected because it is not 'Dog'? Or is it affected because it hinges on the existence of Dog in order to exist by itself? Does it lose all meaning?

There is like, no default assumption for this, thing need to be specific that either Anti-Dog get removed too because the concept is removed, or Anti-Dog do not get removed

We need to know the scale of this suppose concept of dog encompass

Does it depend on how and when Anti Dog was made? Like, Anti Dog was created after Dog existed first?

More like, does the concept of dog also encompass, govern anti-dog or not?, if yes then when the concept is removed so too both dog and anti-dog, if no then only dog is removed along with the concept

So if Anti Dog branched off of Dog's existence, than it will also cease to exist if Dog is gone.

Branched off in what way, that is the issue, if the Anti-Dog existence depend on Dog then sure he too get removed, if not then again depend on concept itself. This is extremely case by case situation and we can't generalize case by case situation
