Nintendogs - Dalmatian and Friends - DS Mooch

With the competition earnings, players can purchase food, toys and accessories for their puppy. The Nintendo DS's Wi-Fi functionality also allows players to share their adorable new Dalmatian with friends through 'Bark Mode'. Interacting with another puppy automatically unlocks that breed in another players version of Nintendogs, giving players the chance to share this rare new puppy with friends. In 'Bark Mode', owners search for other Nintendo DS's running in the same mode using the console's built in wireless connection.

If another console is discovered, the DS will emit a 'barking' noise, alerting owners that a playmate has been found. Both players then exchange contact cards, allowing them to interact with each others puppies and give exciting gifts if they wish to.
