Is canis novus.com a good dog breeding game?

Answer 1

If you like breeding for genetics instead of other things like color or size or just to create an army of (insert breed name), then yes. It is more time-consuming than some virtual animal breeding games, I think. It has taken me nearly a year to make the dogs I breed on there have more than 3 clears ("clear" is the highest quality for your dog's eyes, knees, heart, hips, ears, and elbows) and to get 2 of their conformation stats to stay at or 1-2 points above/below the "perfect" point. However, I've been limiting my outside breeding to only doing it when my dogs have become so inbred that their pups no longer benefit from inbreeding. ^^; And I've only used one premium import (premium imports are like the normal foundation dogs you'll buy/create, except have better genetics and help you start off better or increase quality later on).

Also, I was a bit disappointed when I found out its system doesn't give your dog a color and a default image for that color. There's actually not even a section on the dogs page for color. So you can't type in a "color" box and say, "Mr. Snuggly Snuffleberry VIII is a purple and green Siberian husky" or something. All you can do it pick an image from the Image Bank and use it; and all of the images there are rather realistic (in that there are no purple and green huskies or anything).

TL;DR version:

Yes, but there are some things that you might not like about it, which include: Lots of genetics to perfect, or completely ruin; not being able to type in your dog's color or get a system-generated color, based on color genetics.
