Hi guys,

I've been playing this game for a while now and I thought I'd share it with you. In the beginning, I could play the game but I needed help from a sighted
person because some of the things I needed to know were inside a picture. When I mentioned this to the game's creator, he decided to do something about
it. He totally changed the outline of the game and now everything is in text and *very* accessible.

It's called the show dog game. You breed, raise, train and show your own virtual kennel full of dogs. I thought this was a simple little kiddie game
at first but it isn't. It's easy once you develop a system but it does take some strategy. I could play this game all day.

A basic account is free and a one year subscription for a family account is $30. You can do more with a family account but if you don't want/can't afford
one, you can still play the game as a basic user and have loads of fun. The link is:
www.showdog.com

If you decide to play, look me up. My kennel name is Growlsburg. You would go to user list and then to the letter G and then find growlsburg and you can
send me a message. I'd be happy to help anyone who wants to learn how to play this very cool game!

That sounds kinda neat! I've heard of sites like that before, like www.powerpets.com, www.smallcritters.com, www.furry-paws.com, etc. But this one sounds cool too, I'll check it out!

I'm a Furry Paws member. That game is awesome. I'm raising a female boxer.

Yeah Furry Paws is cool, I signed up but haven't been on in awhile. It's fun though, and pretty easy to navigate once you get the hang of it.

I played Furry and enjoyed it too. It's still not like Show Dog. That's why I switched. Although Furry does have a few things SD doesn't... SD is more realistic while Furry is just fun!!! I like both games but I paid to play SD... I suppose, I'm an SD addict.

In Friendship,

If you could help me out I'd be very appreciative. I created my dogs and have a general idea of the sight, but I also have numerous questions. I can't find where to view my dogs for example. I want to know exactly what I've got, how their quality points are distributed, what colors they are, and I need advice on whether or not to breed one of my own bitches with my own stud or whether or not I should pay a stud fee to a user with a higher quality dog. Look me up on the zone or drop me an email through my profile. Thanks.

Excellent site! I will check it out now. I have a dog and he's adorable! His name is Chippy and he is very friendly. Maybe I will breed one like him on the site! Hahahahahaha, Chippy would like that. Thanks!
