The Nintendog first appeared in the DS game ''Nintendogs''. This breed of Nintendog is from the ''Labrador & Friends'' version of Nintendogs. ''Nintendogs'' is a real-time simulation on taking care and playing with puppies. When a player turns on the game, the puppies that the player bought will "greet" the person by jumping in front of the camera and barking. The Nintendogs also do this when the player pushes the "Call Dogs" button, or by calling or whistling for the ''Nintendog'' in the DS microphone. In ''Brawl'' and ''SSB4'', a ''Nintendog'' appears on the stage for a short period of time. The Nintendog then jumps in front of the camera in a similar fashion to how they did in the ''Nintendogs'' games. The ''SSB4'' version of the Nintendog is more in line with its design used in ''nintendogs + cats''.

The Nintendog appears in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''. It was first seen in the trailer at [[E3]] 2006 and was believed to be an [[item]] of its own. However, much later it was confirmed to be an [[Assist Trophy]]. Upon being summoned, the Nintendog comes up to the screen and prevents players from easily viewing the battlefield and their own characters; in addition to potentially staying still and staring at the player, the Nintendog can also paw at the screen, dynamically altering visibility of gameplay. [[Name]]s and other tags are also disabled and [[CPU]] characters that are covered by the Nintendog do not do anything until the incursion subsides. The puppy will always bark twice at the bottom left corner of the screen before leaving.

===Trophy information===

===As an [[Assist Trophy]]===

[[File:Smash4dog.jpg|thumb|left|The version of Nintendog that appears in ''Super Smash Bros. 4''.]]

The Nintendog [[Assist Trophy]] also retains its role from ''Brawl'', disrupting visibility of the game. The Assist Trophy is in this game a {{s|wikipedia|French Bulldog}}.

The Nintendog needs to land on the ground before it can block the screen. Otherwise, it will despawn upon crossing a [[blast line]].<!--Does this happen in Brawl, too?-->

Nintendog's trophy appears in both versions. In {{forwiiu}} it is part of the ''Nintendo DS and Nintendo 3DS'' [[Trophy Box]].

:{{Flag|North America}} ''This is one of the many adorable dogs you can care for in Nintendogs + Cats. It's hard for them to wag their little tails, but they make up for it with that cute face. In Smash Bros., they want to get right up in your face, blocking your view of the battle. They just want to be loved!''

:{{Flag|Europe}} ''This is one of the many adorable dogs you can take care of in Nintendogs + Cats. They aren't big tail-waggers, but they have the cutest little faces. In this game, one might come right up to the screen and block your view! It just wants to play, so don't get annoyed, OK?''

:{{Flag|Europe}} ''The Shiba is one of the oldest breeds in the world. These Japanese dogs can be very loyal, and in the past, their agility and active nature was useful to their owners on hunting trips. You can look after and train one of these dogs in Golden Retriever & New Friends.''

:{{Flag|North America}} ''Hunting wild rabbits used to be a popular sport in England, and the beagle, an active and playful breed, was a popular companion for it. Perhaps sleeping beagles nowadays dream of chasing rabbits like their ancestors. You can choose this breed in Golden Retriever & New Friends.''

;Jack Russell Terrier

:{{Flag|North America}} ''This breed originated in England and is especially good at chasing foxes. With no foxes in the living room, though, it'll chase toys instead. Terriers are tough, athletic, and curious—a perfect fit for someone who is the same! You can choose this breed in Toy Poodle & New Friends.''

:{{Flag|Europe}} ''This breed from the British Isles loves chasing small animals. If there aren't any in your living room, they'll just chase toys instead: balls, Mario karts - whatever's lying around. They're tough, athletic and highly curious. If that also sounds like you, maybe you'd be a good match! Take care of one in Toy Poodle & New Friends.''

;Golden Retriever

:{{Flag|North America}} ''This large breed was originally from Scotland and was used to hunt waterfowl. They're smart but way too friendly to make good guard dogs. They come in a variety of shades, but all members of the breed share the golden color. This breed is included in Golden Retriever & New Friends.''

:{{Flag|Europe}} ''This large breed from Scotland used to hunt waterfowl. They're intelligent, but a tad too friendly to be good guard dogs. With them all being the same colour, one Golden Retriever might look like the next, but in Nintendogs + Cats, no two dogs are the same on the inside. You can take care of one in Golden Retriever & New Friends.''

The Nintendog returns as an Assist Trophy yet again. This time, the dog is a [[wikipedia:Poodle|Toy Poodle]]. Each breed that had been used for the Assist Trophy appear as Spirits. Additionally, the other breeds reprise their roles for the Living Room.
