Furry-Paws anyone?

[iwantmypup]

Heh, I don't know why that title made me laugh. Lol.

Does anybody here have an account on Furry-Paws?
http://furry-paws.com/
It's one of those virtual dog game thingeys.

"What is Furry Paws? It's a virtual dog game where you can raise, train, play with, feed, and show virtual dogs. We have over 190 breeds and counting, and 15 dog sports. So go ahead, sign up today if you haven't already. It's free! :)"

Just wondering if anyone else plays. At the moment (just started this new account) I have a doberman puppy who I plan on doing obedience and agility with.
It's like a dream... XD
My number thingey is #697290 :)

[CharlieDog]

Lol. I joined too, you may have gotten a referral thingy or something cause I put in your number when I joined up.

I have two Australian Shepherds, and compete with the male in Frisbee and the female in Schutzhund, lol.

CharlieDog (#697574) That's my number there.

[Kayota]

I'm #488767, I've been playing for 3 years on different accounts. I have German Shepherds, American White Shepherds, Border Collies, Lapponian Herders, Rough Collies, a couple of Manchester Terriers and a Miniature Bull Terrier. If I were you I'd register all your herding breed dogs in herding to maximize their level/stat gain.

[iwantmypup]

CD, Wooot!! I put you on my friends list :) Ozzy and Scorn are purrrrtyy! :D


Kayota, adding you now! :) And woah, you have a lot of dogs! Lol Awesome

[Kayota]

Yeah, I have to take breaks... a lot LOL I'm starting up again after I get back from Wisconsin, on Monday, though. It's addictive XD

[PWCorgi]

Mmkay. Whoever took IzFro as their name...I'm going to KILL them. IzFro is mine *pouts* It's never not been available before.

[PWCorgi]

O.o Oh, it's me. I guess I already had an account there :o

[iwantmypup]

:rofl1:

[PWCorgi]

And I even has a Frodo! :D

[PWCorgi]

Whoops, apparently the dogs don't do well when left alone for months at a time. O.o

[bubbatd]

Must join !!!

[iwantmypup]

Lol, nope PW.

Yes, you should join grammy! :)

[PWCorgi]

I just retired him. Going to start over.

[PixieSticksandTricks]

Lol I had an account a couple years ago. I had two adult Dalmatians, 1 cocker spaniel, and a Dal puppy. I think I need a new account.

[PWCorgi]

Woot! I like this game :D

My ID is #306258

[CharlieDog]

LMAO PW!

You are such a doofus.

[PWCorgi]

Hey, leave me alone! :lol-sign:

I found out the first thing I don't like about the game. The training. Seriously, dark age methods. Yanking the leash downward to get a dog to down? :confused: Who still does that?

The only way I passed was picking the most violent option for every question. I'm not kidding.

[iwantmypup]

It's true!


It's sad.... :-/


Hrm. Now I am debating buying an adult dog...I started with a puppy.

[Kayota]

There are questions about dog training? I've never had to do that o.O

[iheartsammy]

I use to go on that site loooong ago. Might try it again, it was fun!

[ihartgonzo]

I am addicted! My account is #4765... it's frozen, because I'm on a little break. But I can feel the withdrawls coming. D;

I have Border Collies, Cardigans, & Koolies. Surprise surprise!

Oh, PW, I DESPISE trick training. It pretty much sucks, and it's too time consuming. I stick to training in sports, and showing. = ) That way, your dogs will level and their stats will be all nice and their puppies will be all pretty.

[Kayota]

Trick training is pretty much pointless.

[noludoru]

I joined yesterday.... I LOVE IT! O.O Way better than howrse, which sometimes I could barely translate.

Guys, I have like 60k right now. It seems that in all the how-tos they are always saying "and if you don't have enough money for it..." or "and if you're new and poor..." but that seems like a lot of money for me, at least considering some of the costs of the game. What exactly is "rich" in this game?

Oh, and how do you win shows? I have two Pointers entered in 30 shows a piece with the right accessories to boost their stamina and speed and intelligence, and they're all happy and their needs are fulfilled.. but is winning randomized? What gives you a better chance of winning?

[Kayota]

For winning: Higher stats, you get added points for each "Excellent," and if you keep your dog well fed and stuff it has a higher chance of winning.

Rich: I have a couple million right now, I believe. You don't need to be rich to succeed on the game, but it does help.

[Southpaw]

I've been on there for 4 years, my name is Southpaw (wooo predictable!) #54313.

I've had it locked though for the better part of a year, just because it gets time consuming and the site is usually soooo slow for me.

My other account is Trainwreckd #533866 but I just use that to post on the forums, lol.

....but don't you have to show to GET stats???

One of my dog has two excellents (woohoo) and the rest are good... the other has elbows/hips/etc all good. I was crossing my fingers I wouldn't get a "poor" or something, because I want a dog to breed, lol, and even if it's a virtual game I'm not breeding a dog with 'poor' anything.

[RedHotDobe]

Mmkay. Whoever took IzFro as their name...I'm going to KILL them. IzFro is mine *pouts* It's never not been available before.
O.o Oh, it's me. I guess I already had an account there :o
Hahaha. Nice! :p

Never played Furry-Paws, but I used to play Showdog. Then I made it to #1 Doberman kennel, bred the #1 all-time Doberman and it got kinda boring, so I left. I should go back and see what's up.

[Kayota]

Nolu - as your dog wins shows and levels. its stats will get higher, yes. :) But the better the stats in comparison to other dogs of its same showing level [the thing beside the name, such as NH for Novice Herding], the more likely you are to win.

[noludoru]

AHA I see. So basically I'm going to lose a lot no matter what I do. ROFL! At least at first. That's fine.


Q..... I know you get more points for entering in a show with lots of dogs, and more points if you win. Right now I probably can't win much, so is my best bet entering in shows with lots of dogs and getting many points or entering in more expensive shows with just a few dogs and hoping I will place? Basically, is it better to go up a level or win ribbons? *confuzzled*

[Kayota]

It doesn't matter either way - your dog WILL level eventually. The highest I've seen a pet store dog go is maybe level 10-11. If you wait to breed til your dogs are at least level ten, the pup will have more potential and higher stats than his parents.

[noludoru]

Yeah, I'm waiting to breed. Even though it's a virtual game I wont breed crap, lol.

My plan is to breed my two when they get to about a level 10 - maybe 9 if I'm impatient, but I think it'll be 10 -and breed them, keep the best pup of the litter (or if I can't see the stats and stuff by then I'll just pick one) and go from there.

[Kayota]

I let mine level until day 99 and breed them on day 99, so they reach max potential. If they don't reach level 10 by then, tough ****, they don't get bred.

[Southpaw]

Nolu, have you figured out that certain leashes/collars/food can raise specific stats? You can raise stats by using the training area too (the agility course looking thing).

It all adds up. :p

[noludoru]

Yes, that and the foods, which I am taking FULL advantage of. :D Does the food permanently raise the stats or do I have to re-feed before every round of shows?

I'll try the training area, I didn't know about that.

[iwantmypup]

gosh I gotta get back on. Gotta show mydobes again,

[JustaLilBitaLuck]

Yes, that and the foods, which I am taking FULL advantage of. :D Does the food permanently raise the stats or do I have to re-feed before every round of shows?

I'll try the training area, I didn't know about that.

Yep, they permanently raise the stats.

On FP, I'm Gemini Kennels (622440) - and I raise American Pit Bull Terriers.

[Kayota]

I have two APBTs that I got from the humane shelter - mind taking them off my hands?

[iwantmypup]

I just got a breeding request....hmm..
I think I will decline, I want my dobes to get to level 8 (atleast) before I start breeding. Hopefully, haha

[Kayota]

I added a Komondor to my kennel :)

[Dekka]

Dumb game :p.

My JRT doesn't like rope toys, balls, or Frisbees! What sort of defective JRT did I get?!

[Kayota]

There's a specific list of toys on the dog's page. Each breed uses a different toy - for terriers I believe it is tug ropes.

[JustaLilBitaLuck]

I have two APBTs that I got from the humane shelter - mind taking them off my hands?

Yea, sure. Put them up for private sale on your kennel page and I'll take them!

[Kayota]

I have my account locked atm [school, dang it!] so will you wait til our next break or day off for them? :)

[mrose_s]

This is me

buzlove (#634019

I've had my kennel a while, I got up to having about 14 dogs at one stage and caring for them all but I lost a bit of interest and a lot of the retired. I'm still kicking myself because I missed breeding one that would have carried on this line i really want to keep going. Luckily I sold a puppy a while ago thats mum is the dog I relaly want to keep continueing th eline of, so I'm going to see if I can track her offspring down and get one back lol.

This is way too much nerdy fun.


So now I only have 2 dogs, an Aus Shep and a BC
