Is canis novus.com a good dog breeding game
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.
