Yeah that's right. Virtual puppies! I know what you're thinking, "just get a real dog!" what about sony? they make toy dogs, don't they? ah ha ha, now we're getting somewhere. You know, that shows you guys you know nothing of sony history, even though you're fanboy. remember the toy dogs and see if you'll screw sony as well, you cheap b******s.
and what's with "nintendogs is coming psp. just you wait!"? Hmm... let's see
Nintendo=Nintendogs
Sony=Sonygs
See something strange around here? Nintendogs belongs to Nintendo. If Sony got a game like this, it would be called SONYGS. WTH is the dog pun?
Well, I guess I solved at least one of the problems on this review board. Later.

The basic idea of the game is to own a dog without the mess and the costs it takes to both own and take care of a pet. As one who can not afford a pet myself, I decided to try out this game. Every had been going nuts about for so long, a assumed it would be this fabulous creation. Despite some of the negative reviews it had received.
Sadly, I found out the hard way that the game gets old very quickly. Sure, the dogs are adorable. And for the first few minutes, sure, it's fun to yell like an idiot into the microphone of your DS as you teach them their names and different sorts of tricks. But that will get boring, especially if your dogs too stupid to learn the move (my husky apparently is such a dog. After about fifty times of trying to teach it shake, I gave up).
There are the contest, but you only get three a day, and not as much money from it as you'd hope. And of course there's always the fact that if you put down your DS for a few days and don't check up on your dogs, you're fined what precious little money you have is enough to turn someone from the game.
I would definitely not recommend this game to anyone, except for perhaps children.
never got to play it

My daughter has another Nintendogs edition and she absolutely loves it. We just bought a fluke, because it malfunctioned so we are returning it, but I'm sure the game is just great like the other one is!

I like this game a lot. You get to take care of your own dog. But at the beginning of the game is kind of cheesey. You only start out with 1000 dollars. You have to get a dog then your moneys low. But after a few days your money gets higer and your trainer points do to. You start to find better items on your walks. You can link to other people with bark mode and you can give them items. Youcan onley get eight dogs. you can have five in the motel. You can keep three at home. When your trainer points increase you can get other dogs to buy. And if you link to sertin kinds of nintendogs you get other dogs. I think this game is great i hope you buy it.
fun at first

this game is good for people who have never had a dog, or people that are getting one. it shows you that you need to love your dog, which in the game can run away from you if you don't love it enough. their are many different dogs to chose from. you buy food, water, and toys for your dog with the money taht you earn. you earn money buy selling things, or placing in the top 3 of frisbee compatitions, agility and obedience compatitions. this game has VERY good graphics!! you can go on wireless connection and meek your other friends and meet their dogs too!!!! after a while though, this game does get boring, i mean you do the same schedule every day, take it for a walk, feed it, bathe it, and do compatitions...

This game is great!You can do so much you can feed your dog take it on walks play even enter it in competions.
I have two dogs on my nentendogs a golden named Meme and a shiba inu named Heroshe they are so cute!
You should buy this game.If you do buy this game Remember that you have to take care of your dogs or they might run away(If your dogs do run away dont worry they will come back).Your dogs will even get dirty so you get to give them a bath and thats fun(After you give your dog a bath its a good idea to brush their fur). The graphichs are awsome the dogs look so life like.And you can't forget bark mode which lets you interact with other dogs on bark mode!
Sincerly Nintendogs fan , age 9
p.s.Buy this game!
Funny and cute !!!

My 7 yr old daughter got this for x-mas this yr along w/some other games for the DS, and this is by far her favorite! I don't even think she plays the other 2 games. Her father even enjoys it! They take the dog for a walk, feed it, pet it and the thing they like best is entering it in competitions. The only downside to this is that you can only enter your dog 3x aday into the competitions. I know there are other Nintendog games, but we pick this one b/c one of the breeds on it was a Siberian Husky and that's the kind of dog we own!
Best Game Ever

I purchased the game for my wife as a gift. She enjoys the game very much and finds the interactions great, because the game dogs have actions just like real dogs would. Very good game overall due to the great creative design.
