Just adding here what I had popped in Discord previously, will continue to edit! Please share your thoughts/suggestions!
I highly recommend you read through the https://virtualcanines.com/help help section!!

Money Making:
  • Every day the Jobs Board will reset with 6 new jobs you can do for a few hundred cash.
  • Instead of culling extra pups at birth, consider caring for them until they're 2mo and rehome them. Each rehomed dog is $250 (at minimum--increases based on stat total) and with large litters, this can build up quickly over time!
  • Running events: Hosting events earns you both a portion of the entry fees and XP/Fame. Even if you don't have dogs of your own to enter, see what's missing in the hosted events, and fill in the gaps. Events are not auto-run, and can be run after 24hrs IF there are 10+ dogs entered, except Flyball or Mushing which needs at least 3 teams.
  • Entering events: Any dogs that place 1st to 5th receive winnings!
  • Dogs and pups for sale or stud: as VC is still building up, there aren't a lot of dog breeds available, instead of rehoming a pair of imports you've just bred, consider putting them up for sale or the male for stud to generate some income and help the community with making some breeds accessible. Try not to flood the market of course, but consider what you would buy/breed with as someone working on their lines etc.
  • Consider buying imports with your tokens and putting them on the market for cash. (1 import is either 1 token or $2500 cash, so keep this in mind)
Leveling up/increasing Fame:
There are three ways to increase your fame--Running events, entering events and training dogs.
  • Runnings events: (see above)
  • Entering events: you can enter up to 4 dogs in one event (or 2 teams of 4 dogs in Flyball or Mushing) and regardless of their place, these dogs will receive XP that increases your fame.
  • Training dogs: Each time you 'train' a dog, it will increase your fame by 5pts. Say you're getting 3 trains in per turn, that's 15xp--6 trains? 30xp! Each dog year is 48 turns--1440xp (approx) It all adds up!
