By RAW, if you cast Xanathar’s new-ish spell „Dragon‘s Breath“ on your familiar, can you turn it into a combat pet instead of a wonky advantage-giver?
Find familiar says „A familiar can't Attack, but it can take other actions as normal“, while the dragon breath spell states „Until the spell ends, the creature can use an action to exhale energy [...]“. Strictly speaking, the effects don’t contradict each other, correct?

I think it is pretty awesome!

Assuming a pet with high mobility (owl?) and given that the distance of the breath cone is 15 feet, your enhanced familiar could dive in and out of range to damage opponents from a safe distance.

Yes. Having my Owl carpet bomb a group of enemies never gets old.

Or having your car cuddle up to a sentry and then ACID BREATH!!!
