Nintendogs: Labrador & friends

You can choose from a list of breeds of puppy to adopt: Labrador Retriever, Miniature Schnauzer, Toy Poodle, Welsh Corgi Pembroke, Miniature Pinscher and Shibu Inu. You can even choose from male and female pups as well as different colour coats.

You start off with relatively little money and earn more through attending trials and competitions. The more you win, the more money you earn and then you are able to purchase more puppies, with 3 being able to live together at once. Socialise your puppy by walking it around town where there meet other neighbourhood dogs – sometimes they’ll fight and you’ll need to break them up, other times they’ll play along nicely. Walks start off short as your puppy is young and needs to grow in strength. Go shopping and buy food and toys (though some presents will be found along your walks.

It is suggested that you play this game daily however it can get boring, especially as the more puppies you have the more you need to walk them, wash them, feed them, train them and play with them. An ideal gift for a child or adult with a passion for dogs.
