Finding My First Dog

You can not create a dog in this game (except in beta) as a novice. So you have to go to the marketplace tab and find a dog for sale. To do this, click the marketplace tab above or the Search Dog icon and select what you are looking for.

Taking Turns

In this game you control how fast your dogs age, how fast you train, and much more by the concept of 'taking turns'. When you take a turn, your dog will age one week. It is where the time is 'executed'. It will recover energy, change mood, get dirty... and much more. a pregnant dog may give birth during a turn if the dog is due or near due. Your cash will go down...each dog costs money to keep, and this is where you pay the feed and vet bills. With out taking a turn, your dog will remain 'untouched'. Between your turns, is where you train your dog, play with it... breed it... do as you wish, but watch its energy!

What happens when you run out of turns? Nothing happens when you execute a turn. You will have to wait until you recieve more turns, turns are given out every hour whether you are on or offline. Sponsor players are given an unlimited number of turns. The max number of turns you can have displayed is 127. However if you use a turn, and you still have turns saved up, they will be added in at some point

Fame is given for hosting events, entering events etc... The more people who enter your events, the more fame given, the better your dog does against more competition, the more fame your awareded. What are the fame points? Each time you get fame, you get fame points. You can use these points to add on to your personal training, and add them in your skills. Novice players may only have handling as their skill, because its important in competing their dogs. Read more...

Kennel & Cash management

So you have your dog and a basic understanding... well I will describe an example day. One may go through their dogs, train them until their energy is low, check events to see if their dogs are eligable for any, bet on the dogs they think will win... then take a turn. What you do is up to you!

You can make cash several different ways: By selling dogs, hosting events (sponsors only), puting a dog up for stud, training other peoples dogs, odd jobs you find... and even gambling.
