Derby Dogs: A Doggone Good Time
Derby Dogs is a dog raising/breeding/competing sim for the Nintendo DS that lets the player experience the joys of dog ownership without having to clean up any poop. Players can choose from a variety of dog breeds, each with their own unique stats and abilities. Once they have chosen their dog, players can then train it in a variety of exercises that will help it improve its stats.
In addition to training, players can also take their dogs to the dog park, where they can socialize with other dogs and learn new tricks. Players can also enter their dogs in races, where they can compete for prizes and glory.
Breeding
One of the most unique features of Derby Dogs is the ability to breed dogs. By breeding two dogs together, players can create a new dog with the combined stats of its parents. This can be a great way to create a dog that is perfect for racing or competing in other events.
To breed dogs, players must first have two dogs of the opposite sex that are both at least level 10. Once the two dogs have been selected, players can then take them to the dog park and select the “Breed” option. The two dogs will then mate, and a new puppy will be born a few days later.
Racing
Racing is one of the most exciting parts of Derby Dogs. Players can enter their dogs in a variety of races, each with its own unique track and set of obstacles. Races can be either single-player or multiplayer, and players can compete for prizes and glory.
To enter a race, players must first select their dog and then choose a race to enter. Once the race has started, players will need to use the stylus to guide their dog around the track and avoid obstacles. Players can also use the stylus to activate their dog’s special abilities, which can give them an edge over the competition.
Conclusion
