On Red server they have made a lot of downgrades to the game which hurt your class.
As the poster above indicates, pets should begin to dual wield without any weapons 44+. However on Red server this is never the case and you always have to hand weapons to your pet to allow for dual wielding.
I'd suggest playing on the blue server instead. It's a lot closer to the classic you remember. Until the top end raiding, but both servers top end raiding has veered away from what was classic.
As for weapon type it's irrelevant. Among the weapons you can summon, dagger, fang, spear and sword... All work. Note that the spear is primary only though. Two swords is typically what most players will give their pets.
