RoboPup

The RoboPup (Japanese: 犬型ロボット Inukata Robotto, Dog-type Robot) is a dog breed introduced in Nintendogs + Cats. It is the only one to not cost any money and requires a voucher instead.

Once they have obtained it, the player must take it to the Kennel. After it is redeemed, the dogs will be present in many different color options. It can also potentially have any personality type in the game.

The RoboPup will do everything any other dog will do, only that its barking and walking sounds robotic. It still eats regular dog food, drinks water, and can become dirty and infested with fleas. Like all the other breeds, this is remedied with shampoo and shower, meaning that unlike the majority of robots in real-life, RoboPups are waterproof and are not harmed by taking a shower, playing in puddles or drinking water.

RoboPups seem very hard to train in comparison to most regular dogs. They come untrained and often - like regular dogs - are stubborn.

In-Game Description[]

Nintendogs + Cats:
(NTSC): "This state-of-the-art robot dog is powered by dog food and plays well with real puppies."
(PAL): "This state-of-the-art robot dog is powered by dog food and gets on well with other dogs."

Appearance[]

The RoboPup, as its name suggests, is a robot-type dog. The crease down its snout looks thicker in comparison to other dogs. Its torso and crotch are two different pieces, with a grey metal tube connecting them. Its legs are slender, and segmented. There are small black dots that separate the paws from the fore-paw and hind-paw. It also has teardrop shaped shoulders/thighs, to connect the front and back legs to the torso and crotch.

Coat Colors[]

The RoboPup is available in many different colors that can be found by pressing "Surprise Me!". There are over 22 different color combinations based on a primary body color and a secondary color for the extremities (ear tips, feet, head stripe, tail base, shoulders, and hips). The table below lists some (but not all) possible combinations.

Trivia[]

Sometimes on walks, neighbors mention a mechanical noise at the back of the kennel. This noise is likely the RoboPup being made, or playing with other RoboPups.
The Flat-Screen TV shows a cream and blue RoboPup.
It must be unlocked in a special way, similar to the Jack Russell Terrier in Nintendogs.
You are able to brush your RoboPup like what you would do with a regular Nintendog, but the brush you use does not automatically turn around to show fur. In fact, brushing your RoboPup would not have any fur accumulate on the brush at all.
