My daughter got a Nintendo DS for Christmas, along with this game. She LOVES it! The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because it requires the pet's "owner" to call the dog's name MANY times to get the puppy to recognize it. I understand that they are trying to show that a real dog will not respond to it's name immediately... but the best thing about a portable game system is that a child can use it in the car, in restaurants, on airplanes, etc. But, with this game, I send her to her room (with the door closed) or outside to call her dog. I don't know if this will get better the farther she gets into the game... but for now, it's driving me nuts!!! I wish there was a "silent" mode.
Cute!!!!!

My daughter has truly enjoyed playing this game. There is only one note of caution. For those that own other Nintendog games, the dogs in this version may duplicate ones that you already have.
Fun

Teaches my kids that it is not all fun and games to take care of an animal-they need a lot of care and attention-and this is only a game.It is very realistic. I actually got sucked into it.Fun Fun Fun.
Great fun for a girl!

This is the first game I bought my daughter (8) to go with her new nintendo ds lite that she received for Christmas. I have tried the game myself. It really is great: it is entertaining but also a good "learning" tool (know your dog breeds, handling your money). I don't want to be sexist but it does, however, seem more to be a game for girls (my son (7) has yet to show any interest, preferring Mario).

This is a fabulous game. It's perfect for animal lovers. You need to go through all the stages of owning and raising a puppy. It teaches you how to interact with puppies/dogs and it's in real-time. You play for short bursts of time over a long period. It's realistic, open-ended, and it teaches responsibility. You earn money to buy puppies, supplies, etc., and enter competitions. My 9-yr old got it for Christmas and thoroughly enjoys playing. She helped some of the 7 & 8 yr olds in our neighborhood get started (probably the toughest part). They have different versions so they have more breeds to share wirelessly.
It was worth my $15

I'm not really a big animal person, but I do like games that you can do something new everyday. I wouldn't have paid more than the $15 I got it for, though. That's pretty much all the excitement it's worth (to me, at least, not being a dog fanatic)
Daugher is crazy about this game!

My seven year old daughter can't get enough of this game. We have had the game at least a month now and she plays non stop. First game my daughter has played, out of about a dozen, that she can't put down.
My daughter won't put it down.

Bought this game for my daughter and she absolutely loves it. I find myself playing with it every once in a while too.
