The Nintendogs universe (ニンテンドッグス, Nintendogs) is a real-time pet simulation franchise developed and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo DS. It was originally released in three different versions: Dachshund & Friends, Lab & Friends, and Chihuahua & Friends. It has been re-released twice since then, first as a bundled release with a special edition Nintendo DS with a new version called Nintendogs: Best Friends, and then again as Nintendogs: Dalmatian & Friends.

A full sequel, Nintendogs + Cats, which also came in three different versions such as French Bulldog & Friends became a launch title for the Nintendo 3DS.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Assist Trophy

A Labrador Retriever Nintendog features in Brawl as an Assist Trophy. When summoned, the Nintendog will appear at regular size among the players, before jumping towards the screen and trying to play with the player. This will obscure a player's view of the stage.

Trophy

Nintendog
A puppy for you to train on your Nintendo DS. They come in a wide variety of breeds, colors, coat styles, and personalities. You can train them, use dog toys to play with them, and feed them treats to establish a real link with your virtual pet.
