I don't have Nintendogs yet, but I'm getting it for Christmas, anyway, I can tell you about it because I have played my coisons before.Now the only problem is that the sound resistance is not the best. I was playing it in a resturant, and my pug thought it's name was "Sugar...*blah, blah, blah*" So you have to be in a totally quiet place when you talk to them. But the graphics are perfect and the game is really fun! You start out by picking your dog breed and choosing which one you want after watching them play together. Like maybe, let's say you pick a Shih-Tzu, and then you'll see three different Shi-Tzus who have slightly different coloring and different personalities. Then you pick one out, take it home, and spend time with it until you name it and then you can take it on a walk and do competitions with it. You also get a good selection of breeds in each game. And you have different catigories of things to do with them, like, sports,toys,care,accessories,and ect. You don't have to get Nintendogs, but I think that it's the best game in the world!

Phenominal Game....

This game is genius. Great graphics, awesome puppies, and tons of things to do. Lets just clear one thing up though. There WILL NOT BE A PSP VERSION OF NINTENDOGS. The PSP lacks 2 very important needs for Nintendogs- the Touch Screen, and the Voice Rec. How would you pet your puppy? How would you train your puppy? Come on people common sence here! But I did hear that there may be a GameCube version of Nintendogs that uses a microphone just like Mario Party 5..... Anyway, Nintogs is a great game, and even if you do get bored with your puppy, you can purchase another pup, or re-set your game.

Great so far

I got this game and a Nintendo DS two days ago, and so far everything is good. The game is a little hard at first, trying to figure out everything, but the more you play it the easier it becomes. The first thing you do in this game is pick your dog, it's breed and gender. There is a little discription describing the dog's breed then the personality of the dog you want to buy. All the dog's cost about $500-$600. I picked a Shy Female Shih Tzu and named her Roxy.
You only start out with one dog. You have to earn money by entering contests and getting top 3. If you don't get top three, you don't get any money and you drop down a level. I won First Place Twice in Agility, which is definetly the easiest one (in my opinion).
You can take your puppy for walks and it can socialize with other dogs. Today, i took my puppy to a park and there were two other dogs there. You can also use bark mode and find a DS Nintendog in your area (i tried that, and i couldn't find any)
There are alot of things you can buy your Nintendog, collers, bows, hats, food (dry and canned), water, guide books, toys (bubble machine) sports toys (frizby, which you need for the frizby compitetion, and tennis balls) and so much more.
If you have more than one puppy (which i don't, but i'm getting another Shih Tzu, a male) you can drop them off at the dog hotel. You can also donate dogs.
If the game is turned on and your ignoring your dog, it will start to cry, back up and turn away from you. You should feed your Nintendog three times a day; in the morning, afternoon, and at night - water and dry or canned food - because it gets hungry very often. You can also get milk for your puppy.
You can only enter three contests a day, and you can't take your dog(s) for walks alot (it won't let you anyway) because it will be very tired, and it will be very very thirsty, and have to drink alot of water afterwards, which isn't good if you are trying to save money/supplies (like me)
On walks, there are many places to go. To the agility park, and various other parks. Your puppy will meet others along the way. Also, sometimes, your puppy may eat garbage (you can't stop them if it is on their walking trail) But don't worry, because your dog will get better within 20 seconds.
The dog breed that costs the least is a beagle ($510), and the dog breed that costs the most is a pug ($590).
The animation is so realistic, my Video Game Shih Tzu looks like my real life Shih Tzu. I definetly recomend buying this game. A ton of fun; and the disc is so small, it's hard to beleive all of it is on that little disc.

A great game,

I reviewed Nintendogs about a month ago, when i first got the game. Scince then, i have discovered alot about this game.
First i'll start off by saying, this game is really easy to play. Basicly all you do is pick a puppy and raise it. You can walk it, feed it, play fetch, buy things for it, and so much more. You can take it for walks and find useful (most of the time) items, that it picks up along the way. To get alot of presents, be sure to go over alot of question marks (when your drawing your walking route) because that means more presents (or dogs).
You can enter your dogs in contests as well. There are three types of contests (though i might get more on this game once i play it a little more) Obediance (when you get to show the tricks you taught your dog) disc (or frisbee, your dog will catch the frisbee and bring it back to you.) and agility (a corse set up with alot of different things your puppy has to run through, jump over, ect. You have to train very hard for these contests, especially agility, because even if you get an exelent score, and you get alot of faults, you won't get the place you hoped for. You can win money in these contests, but only if you place 3rd, 2nd, or 1st. For first place prize (in all of the contests) in begginer, is $100. Open class (which comes after) is $200. For expert class, $300, master class is $600, and the championship is $1000 (but only if you do really good)
There are a TON of items in this game, and they are sorted into catagories: Acessories, Ect., Sports, toys, clocks, care, and music. There are alot of items you CAN'T buy, that you will eventually find on your walks. Something really neat, though it may take awhile to find these, is that when you find a firemans hat, and a jackrussel book, you will get Dalmations and Jack Russel Terriors. Here is a list of some of the items i have found while walking:
Acessories: Pirate hat, sun hat, graduation cap, green hat, blue and red cap, firemans hat, green pearl ribbon, purple pearl ribbon, sport sunglasses, scholar glasses, and many more.
Ect: Moai Statue, stick, leather shoe, while boot, promise ring (diamond ring) and many more.
Clocks: Marble clock, lucky clock, and many more.
Music: records, keyboard, ect.
Care: Brushes, food, treats, ect.
Sports: disc, bark ball, ect.
Toys: Jump rope, pull rope, wind up toy, remote controll cars, ect.
If you dont' like the items or they are useless, you can sell them in the second hand shop (located in shopping) and get money for them.

You can teach your dogs many tricks. They are not too hard to teach. If you want to teach your puppy to sit, you just sort of brush down on it's stomach, and it will sit, or lie down. If you want to teach your puppy to shake, just grab it's paw. To teach it a trick, click the light bulb. It will record your voice very quickly, so remember to say it very clearly so your puppy will understand you.

After you get your first puppy at the beggining, you can go to the kennel and get another puppy, after you save up some money. You can have up to eight dogs, five at the dog hotel and three at home. There are a few breeds to pick from on your game when you first start. After a while you will start to get more breeds ( i have all the dog breeds already).

You can also change the style of your home, but it is quite expensive. Along with getting new dog breeds you will also get new styles to do your house in.

Overall..
This is a really great game to play. My review might have made this game look hard to play, but it is really easy, and a ton of fun, too.

Great Game

I have had Nintendogs for about a week. I don't get to play much because my 22 year old son stole it from me and now he is training my dog. Neither one of us has much time to play, but we love to take Sega for walks and train him. It's a sweet little game and children, teens and adults all will have lots of fun with it. It has training manuals, stores to buy food and water and toys. I like the interaction with the stylus too. It almost feels like our puppy is really real. I miss not being able to pick him up and hold him tho. Now if Nintendo can ever solve that little problem, no one would be able to stop them!

Compassion...even in the smallest forms

The game is called Nintendogs. You might htink this means what it typically means-taking care of a dog. This game is much more than that.

You start the game at a kennel. You can browse the 6 different breeds of dogs and pick the one with a personality to match your own. Take your dog home and name it. You must play with it, feed it, take it for walks, etc.

As the game progresses and as you ,the dog owner, get better at the game, new animals and dogs unlock. You are given trainer points, or points given when, for instance, you win a competition or grow closer to your dogs. Right now I have 14,000 points!

There is a new built in feature in your DS that allows you to seek wireless partners. In this game, it is called BARK MODE. You search for a wireless partner, and once found, you and one of your dogs brings along a toy and goes for a little playdate! They play around and the dogs have alot of fun.

When you get back from BARK MODE, the breed of dog your partner had is then available to you! You can also get a present from the other owner and they will go into your friend list.

The game is also very accurate as to the breeds of dogs and everything! The creators must've done their homework!

This game isn't just a game. It teaches young children and preteens how to take care of a dog (well, tells you mostly) and it gives you a chance to fall in love with a breed! You have to pick up after your dogs and give it love and attention. It teaches you responsibility, compassion, and love for dogs. It could cut down on animal cruelty in the future!! It makes people realize that having a dog isn't just playing with it when you want to, it makes you work for your dogs love. It makes you do all the dirty work of washing it and feeding it, and it makes you appreciate it that much more.

Graphics=A++
Sound=A
Something new all the time=B
Difficulty=not at all, A
Touchpad=works beautifully, A++

Compassion and responsibilty taught in the game=priceless

Puppies Rule

I got Nintendogs for Christmas and I think it's the best game
ever! My mom won't let me get a real dog because I have two cats.
I've been begging for this game since September. Since I got it I
haven't stopped playing with it. I have a dachshund named Cookie.
She's really good in disc competitions. We have $1,782.80. Competitions are fun, but you need to practice a lot. I try to go to the park everyday to practice for disc competitions. It's hard to get your dog to listen to you when you first get it. It
takes awhile to teach it it's name, but after that it's more fun! I only have one dog, but I will be able to buy another soon.
On walks there are a few places to go. I usaully go to the park
and I just started to go to the gym. You can only do up to three
competitions in one day. I used up all my competitions today,
but tomorrow I'm thinking about doing an agility trial. My dog
has really short legs, but we've been practicing for a while and
I think she's ready. I've heard that obedience trials are the hardest, but I've never tried one. In bark mode you can meet other dogs, but you need to be in wireless range to connect with someone else. Nintendogs is a great game. I highly recommend it! Well I have to go feed my dog now.
P.S. My dad wants one too!

Awesome, but still a game except that its so lifelike and so enjoyable

I bought this game for my daughter's birthday but it ended up with me playing it more than what I orginally intended the purchase for. In a nutshell, Nintendogs is still a game no different than raising Pokemon but its very possible to have emotional attachments to the virtual dogs because of their lifelike behavior. There are some noticeable software glitches and collission detection bugs but they are visible only to those who look into details. All in all, still a great buy. Hopefully the next version will introduce offspring to be able to create your own mix breeds.

If You're Looking For A Good Game, Pick This One

Hello!
If you are looking for a game on your Nintendo, pick this one. It is just like owning a real puppy. I got this with the Nintendo. At first, I was clueless and had no help except the manual, which didn't give enough info. But this game is easy to grasp after 1-2 days, so don't worry. You basically own a dog and can feed it, train it, take care of it, and more. It doesn't matter which kind you get,(Chihuahua and Friends, Dachshund and Friends, and Labrador and Friends) because if you're a good trainer you can just unlock all the breeds.

This game had great graphics and sound affects, so buy buy BUY it!!!

ok,this is the COOLEST game in the WORLD!the dogs are just adorable!great for kids who want a dog but cant have one.Here are some tips

.When you walk your dog,pick up its poop by poking it
.make sure your dog is well trained,it will come in handy
.when your dog learns a new trick,reward it with a biscut or a jerky treat
.some dogs are alot happier if they have a friend.So 2 dogs is the best you can get
.wait until your pup settels in before u name him.
hope this was helpful!
