Claws and Fangs are not listed as 2 one handed close combat weapons, but are 2 separate weapons in their own right. Would a model like a Flesh Hound get a bonus attack for having 2 weapons because of his Claws and Fangs?

Not unless it specifically states they do in their unit description.  Most likely, you're just stuck using the attacks characteristic on the profile.

If they can, it will usually say something like: Weapons: Fangs and Claws (extra attack included in profile).  If it just says, Fangs and Claws, nope.

 

It's just Games Workshop's way of saying that they are already vicious enough. If you really need a RAW explanation, it's because neither claws nor jaws are described as being single-handed weapons.

When claws and fangs are listed, in LatD or Chaos I presume, dont they say they dont get the bonus because it is already worked into the profile?

I don't need a RAW explanation as I was already aware that claws and fangs are not 1 handed weapons, I stated that in my post. There is no entry in the Fast Attack Daemons entry that says their profiles are as is. This was just wishful thinking. Same goes for the Necron Wraith and its tail and claws.

Would a model... get a bonus attack for having 2 weapons...?

Delete that thought from your mind, it will only end up messing with you later. No model EVER gets a bonus attack for "having 2 weapons".

The bonus attack only applies if the model is equipped specifically with 2 single-handed weapons. If they are not labeled specifically as single-handed, the bonus does not apply.
