"Not just a silly dog game... Umm well maybe. No! No! No! not the CN dog game. It is great and very realistic online game. Its the community of CN that's silly. Just a terrific bunch of people having fun including the very active Admins. Anyways bring your sense of humour and try it for yourself Canis Novus. You'll see that I'm right. "

"My husband and I wanted to play a real to life dog sims game. We tried a few but found them to be very far from what we knew about showing and caring for dogs. We wanted a challenge. Then we signed up for Canis Novus.
In every way CN is a true to life game.
A fun and helpful bunch of folks are here now. Join up and see for yourself how great this game is. It takes less than an hour a day to take care of your kennel and your jobs but you will find yourself not wanting to leave.

"Definitely a fun game to get into, and it is a fun challenge. I never want to get off, because I know I'll miss the community here. Canis Novus is rapidly becoming one of my favorite dog sim games."

"CN is the most realistic animal sim I have come across, and I have played quite a few. Instead of focusing on how many buttons you can click CN focuses on strategic showing and careful breeding. As well as having superb dynamics, CN also sports a wonderful, mature community with a great sense of humor.
Spoken from the heart!"

"CN is a phenomenal SIM game with Phenomenal players and Admin. This is by far the most awesome game I've ever had the pleasure of playing. The realism factor far surpasses that of any other SIM game I have played! Not only do you show your dogs in shows to achieve realistic WORKING titles, but the titles are even specific to RL breeds that can compete! Abused/neglected dogs are even removed to the Humane Society from neglectful accounts. No more watching your breed waste away in kennels! Come join this super friendly, happy, and sometimes silly community and see what all the fuss is about!"

"Of all of the dog SIM games I've ever played, Canis Novus is the most realistic. While most SIMs focus on the conformation and breeding aspect of the dog world, the variety of dog sports that a dog can be trained in really gives people an idea of just how many sports there are to do with your dog."

"Great game! Challenging, realistic, and intellectual--you'll find it all at Canis Novus. Not having shown dogs in RL, I've learned so much about titles and qualifying scores. The Admin is accessible and quick to take care of anything that pops up that needs to be addressed. The community is fabulous--friendly, helpful, and fun!
So c'mon over--cuz Boom needs help with keeping all the taps turned on in the Village overnight"

"Mirroring real life, Canis Novus emulates true working dogs. Not only do dogs come into heat like real life, but you also train the dogs in multiple sports to achieve titles. With a mature community, and an equal chance to succeed no matter what you want to get out of the game, what more can you ask for? Come join CN! "

"Canis Novus is a new and enjoyable SIM for all ages. Focused on the working dog, users can will face the challenges of maintaining a kennel and breeding their prize-winning canines. A friendly community with knowledgable and active admins, Canis Novus is definitely a treat not to miss"

"CN is so different from all the other SIM games I've been involved in. It actually takes thought and planning in order to have a successful kennel. It's so much more than the clicking of a few mouse buttons. Everyone here is so warm and friendly - I definitely am not sorry I joined! I love CN!"

"If you can't own a dog like me then CN is the next best thing, its a very realistic Dog sim, it makes you feel like you are looking after and showing a real dog. The community is amazing so come along and join in the fun."

"CN: One and only of its kind. Here you'll find a wonderful community of very friendly and helpful people. Also a very kind and understanding Admin, always here to give a helping hand. The game focuses on the working titles that dogs can earn. I love that. This is an awesome game to join and be a part of, you won't be disappointed. Come on in and make some new friends."

"What I love about CN is that it's not just having healthy dogs and entering in the most shows you can every night. You have to plan ahead, train your dogs correctly, keep them healthy, and plan your breedings. Waiting until your dogs are about to retire to breed them does not work here; your dogs have the same potential all their lives to create the same potential offspring. So far it's the first SIM of its kind that, like real life, dogs earn their titles instead of number levels. I love it!"

"CN is a realistic dog SIM involving lots of strategy. There are different ways to approach the game, and new aspects are frequently added. The admin are very involved and frequently present; any problems are dealt with almost immediately. They really care about the game and the players. The community is helpful and fun... CN is a reality-based game that feels like home!"

"Canis Novus is a realistic dog game that is quite unique and very flexible in terms of what your want for goals.
The showing is very much like real life. No way can a dog enter into 50 shows in a day. It is impractical and I feel a waste of time and effort. On CN, you enter two shows a day. They receive "legs" as they do in real life working trials.
Most sports require roughly 3-5 days to receive a title. You only have to be competitive if you want to. Even if you do not place, you still receive your title.
Prices are reasonable, the kennels cannot become these mammoth entities.
The owners play the game right along side of us, make mistakes as we do and join in our successes.
The community is amazing. There is no other game I love more. I have stopped playing most all other SIM games as none compare to this one.
Everyone can achieve a good dog with work. No extra money, fancy rare items or excessive donations are required. Basic and premium accounts have the same advantage over shows and showing.
This is a game of good sportsmanship and an amazingly friendly and supportive community. I love it here.
It feels like home and I love everyone in the game.
Hopefully you will become part of our "family.""

"If you're looking for a more challenging dog SIM, then CN is the place for you. For example, to get champion dogs you have to put in the work. You can't get away with neglect without a price. Another example, you actually have to work for your money. When your vet clinic runs out of supplies, you have to restock it or else no one can use it. You really learn the value of a dollar. Overall, CN proves to give the user an exciting challenge!"

"CN is definitely the place to be in 2008. Its a shame that Boom runs amok in the village sometimes and that Herdndog is both mouthy and bitey to other players ... but despite that is a fab fab fab place to spend some time each day. All of the players are both helpful and kind but some of us are also cheeky, a bit naughty and wear silly tags!!! So why are you not here yet?? JOIN NOW !!!"

"Focusing on hard work and determination, CN motivates players to raise champion working dogs. To advance to the top, one must use intellect and perseverance to discover and conquer the game’s intricacies. CN is not for those wanting to have a kennel full of dogs yet no responsibility. At CN, strategy rules and all actions have consequences: positive and negative! The members and admin are very involved and friendly. CN is truly an innovative game!"

"What do the following have in common:
Breeding/Training/Showing Cyberdogs, a magical Skunk, AI collection containers, Secret Santa Gifts, and the Chatterbox Award for 2007?
Canis Novus of course! Where showing dogs is taken seriously, but the boards run amuk with amusing antics and helpful CN veterans."

"Canis Novus is not just another run-of-the-mill dog sim. The focus is on working dogs earning working titles, and breeding the best dogs to get to the top of their realistically chosen sports. You'll enjoy the challenge of working out your own strategy to reach the top in a wide array of working dog sports. You can't buy your way to success; the game requires your thought and involvement. Even so, you don't need to spend all day on the site to succeed. You might want to, though: the community is friendly and fun. Admins and veteran players are almost always available to provide help or enjoy some chat."
