Furry-Paws anyone?

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.

Trick training is pretty much pointless.

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.

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.

Hahaha. Nice!

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.

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.
