 Did you find the Fireman's Hat? October 24, 2006

The only way you can unlock the Dalmation is to find the Fireman's hat during a walk. If you have been unlucky and want a dalmation, you can buy the Dalmation edition.
Basically there are 20 dogs in all... 18 of which are featured in the first 3 editions (see below). Dalmations and Jack Russel Terriers are the only dogs that are not featured in any of the first 3 games. This newest edition includes Dalmations and 5 other popular dogs from the other 3 games. I assume they will release Jack Russel edition next. lol
Games and dogs included:
Dachund & Friends: 1) Dachshund 2) Beagle 3) Shih Tzu 4) Pug 5) Golden Retriever 6) Siberian Husky
Chihuahua & Friends: 1) Chihuahua 2) Boxer 3) Spaniel 4) Yorkshire Terrier 5) Shetland Sheepdog 6) German Shepherd
Labrador Retriever & Friends: 1) Lab 2) Corgi 3) Min Pin 4) Poodle 5) Shiba Inu 6) Miniature Schnauzer
Dalmation & Friends: 1) Dalmation 2) Boxer 3) German Shepherd 4) Golden Retriever 5) Yorkshire Terrier 6)Beagle
NOTE!!!!! EVERY EDITION HAS THE POTENTIAL TO UNLOCK ALL 20 DOGS. So if you want to do it on your own you can!! That's what I hope to do.
REGARDING THE JACK RUSSEL: you can unlock it by finding a book on Jack Russel Terriers during a walk.
AVOID THIS GAME... December 30, 2006

Avoid this game if you don't want your child laughing and giggling and
plain ignoring all the other gifts she got for Christmas. Avoid this game
if you don't want your child learning about dogs and their care and
feeding. Avoid this game if you don't want your child excitedly
interrupting you to show you the latest trick she taught her dog or what a
good groomer she is, etc. Avoid this game if it is important to you that
your child is constantly engaged in some loud, life-or-death violent
struggle with some alien, or demon, or other enemy, as opposed to having
an imaginative and constructive virtual relationship with man's best
friend.
Will the game get boring, as some comments have intimated? I think it
depends on the person, and whether you like dogs. Some people get
bored with walking and caring for real pets, too. And some people look
forward to their walks with their dog, and don't mind in the least the
cleaning up that goes with it. I can also see how this game could be
appealing to any age group, again, assuming you like dogs.
Also, from what I've heard, the Nintendogs game seems to appeal more than
the SIMS PETS, especially from a graphics and interactive standpoint, but
that the SIMS PETS is fun and nice if you have other SIMS stuff.
The yelp your child makes when s/he first discovers that they can actually
blow against the touch-screen to blow bubbles to the puppy is priceless.
My one concern so far is what happens to the dogs if one doesn't play the
game for a few days? Do they become famished? Since not playing the game
hasn't become an issue, it may be awhile before I find out the answer to
that.
Time will tell of course about how long this game will generate enthusiam,
but I already feel that we've already gotten more than our money's worth
out of the game, in just this short while, especially compared to other
games the kids exhaust after only ten or so hours.
The best Addicting Game!!! November 5, 2006

I recently bought a Nintendo DS White Lite a couple of days ago which came bundled with seven games! As my Parents will obviously not play with them- except my Dad, there was one for each of us, there are 7 children. Eveybody scorned Nintendogs and said they'd rather play the Brain Games, so I took my chance. I grabbed the Dalmation Nintendogs, which I heard was the rarest Nintendogs game you could find and immediantly got completley absorbed into the game. Heading for the Kennels, I was handed $1000 {in the game} and bought a dalmation puppy female for a price of 680, because they was so unique they were the most expensive.
Suddenly my sister came along while I was saying my new furry friends name into the microphone, whch was Pupsy, she started to say: ''Its getting so annoying with you saying Shmupsy Drumpsy Pupsy!''
Then she grabbed it, and started loooking at it, then petting it, and then saying its name, anfd then I knew she too had lost herself in the game.
And I just had a plan.....
My cousin had a Nintendo DS Lite too, a black one, and he didn't like Nintendogs either. So, in the Evening, I strolled over to his house and let him play with the game for a few minutes. But soon I realised my mistake. He would not let go of it! He just was into it too much. It took several hours before I finally managed to grab it back.
All of what I have said so far is ALL true. AND what I am going to say next.
The game is absoloutley brilliant. You can buy up to alll the breeds you start off with in the game, but some must sent off to the Hotel. Anyone who play a few seconds with is immediantly addicted to it. You never seem to want to abandon the poor pups and you can even connect to other people. There are competitions and walks to do and MANY MANY MORE! I won't reveal any more secrets of the game to you becuase this review may bore you as it is SO LONG!
Bye!
Go Dalmations! November 23, 2006

I have Lab & Friends right now but I'm getting it for X-mas!
I think the case looks a bit weird with the 3+ thing.
I could esially get a Dalmation on my Nintendogs since I have the fireman hat and I could get the Jack Russel with my Jack Russl book, but I'm not in the mood.
I have a bunch of Nintendogs Dalmation DS accesories. I have the purse thing and the folio thing.
This game is just like the others only with different starter pups.
Nintendogs is truely fantastic.
The comercial was 100x better than the old one.
I don't have the DS lite but I do have a silver, old, DS. If I wanted a DS lite, I would get the white one.
I sugest of you getting this game! It's the BEST!
It would be cool if they made a Dalamtion Nintendogs themed DS lite...

I bought this game for my 11-year old daughter. She absolutely loves it, and I can see why. The graphics are beautiful. She says, "It's really cool, especially how you can unlock every breed in every version. One of my dogs has made it up to the championship." Her dad and I are very conservative when it comes to electronic games for our daughter; this is one we can feel really good about.
