Dogz and Catz/Gameplay

When you play the game for the first time, you can select 'New Puppy' to choose your dog, 'Options' to change settings, or 'Quit' if you want to go out of the game. After you have got a dog, the options 'Play' and 'Select Puppy' will become available.

New Puppy
This is the only option which takes you into the game when you play for the first time. Click on the 'new puppy' button to be taken to the breed selection menu.

Select a breed (Pug, Labrador, German Shepherd, Border Collie or Beagle) by clicking on it, and then you can choose what fur colour your dog will have. Later in the game you can buy different fur colours (Dalmatian, Wolf and Metalic) from the store to give your puppy that modern look!

Choose whether they are male or female, pick a collar for them to wear, and then the certificate will appear on-screen. Type the name for your new puppy onto the certificate, and then your puppy will appear in the back yard, waiting to be played with!

Load Puppy
If you already have some dogs and want to swap the dog who you are currently looking after for one of your others, click on 'Load Puppy'. A list of al the dogs you own will come up, with a tick over the one you have at the moment. There is no end to the list of dogs you can own. Click on the dog you want to look after and click on 'select'. If you decided that you don't want to switch dogs, click on 'back' to return to the main menu. Also, if there is a dog that you don't really like very much and don't want them, click on them and then click on 'Delete'. Just remeber that you can't get them back once they are deleted, and all the money you had with them will be lost and you will loose all your items.
