Getting Started

Quick Start
Dog Guide Livestock Guide Breeding Guide

When you make your account you have to choose a preffered dog breed, by doing so you have gained 2 starter dogs of your chosen breed. Those dogs will have a random gender, colour and lower stats than imported dogs (ranging from 1-50 per stat).

You will need to assign a speciality to your dogs before you can begin training. You can only assign this once, so choose wisely. When you have chosen a speciality you need to assign a flock/herd to your dog.

You will get one duck flock. This is a place where you be able to group your livestock. You have to assign a minimum of three animals in order to use them for training sessions. If you don't have enough livestock in your flock or herd yet, you may have to train at someone else's farm, if they have the suitable flocks or herds for you to use.

You can do one activity per hour with your dogs, Training or increasing their happiness. You can do one activity per hour with your livestock and be able to collect their goods.

You can enter competitions with your dogs at the age of 10 days and older. Higher training will benefit you in competitions.

You can breed your dogs and livestock when they are 21 days of age. Females will have a 5 day cooldown if they are bred.

If you own dogs or livestock they have to be fed once a day. Feeding your animals will cost $2 for each animal you own.

*Note: You will not get a free duck; only 2 starter dogs
