- This article is about the type of dog. For the microgame from WarioWare: Smooth Moves, see Nintendogs (WarioWare: Smooth Moves). For the microgame from WarioWare Gold, see Nintendogs (WarioWare Gold).
Template:Character-infobox Nintendog is the name of any puppy character from Nintendo's Nintendogs game series. Nintendogs are named after their debut game, which in turn is a portmanteau of "Nintendo" and "dog." Nintendogs have appeared in a few games related to the Mario franchise.

Super Smash Bros. series
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
A white Labrador Nintendog became an Assist Trophy in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. When it is activated, it will distract the players by covering most of the screen and start clawing and barking, although it only worked on actual players. Nintendogs also appear as stickers and a trophy.
Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U
In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, the Nintendog returns as an Assist Trophy, though in this game it is a French Bulldog. A number of Nintendogs also appear on the Living Room stage in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the Nintendog returns as an Assist Trophy, though in this game it is a Toy Poodle. As the Living Room from Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS returns, a number of Nintendogs also appear. All three Nintendogs that have appeared as Assist Trophies in the series appear as spirits.
Super Mario Odyssey
In Super Mario Odyssey, a Nintendog, specifically a Shibaken wearing a fedora, is a recurring character.[1] Its model is taken directly from Nintendogs. Mario can play fetch with the dog by throwing Cappy, whom the Nintendog will then retrieve. It shows up in various kingdoms after the kingdom's boss has been defeated. The Nintendog appears in the Sand Kingdom, Seaside Kingdom, Metro Kingdom, Moon Kingdom, and Mushroom Kingdom, where it leads players to buried coins and Power Moons. Furthermore, in the other kingdoms left, the Nintendog appears inside the Odyssey after finishing the game at least once. A Toad in the Mushroom Kingdom claims to be the Nintendog's owner. Also, if Mario falls asleep, the Nintendog will fall asleep next to him. The Nintendog is also seen in attendance at the wedding of Bowser and Peach. The Nintendog's fedora cannot be removed, possibly to prevent Mario from potentially capturing it.

| Nintendog | 
|
DS Nintendogs | A puppy for you to train on your Nintendo DS. They come in a wide variety of breeds, colors, coat styles, and personalities. You can train them, use dog toys to play with them, and feed them treats to establish a real link with your virtual pet. Other features include the ability to enter your dog in disc-catching contests and agility trials on obstacle courses. |
Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U

Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nintendog (3DS) nintendog (Wii U) |
|
DS nintendogs (08/2005) 3DS nintendogs + cats (03/2011) |
This is one of the many adorable dogs you can care for in nintendogs + cats. It's hard for them to wag their little tails, but they make up for it with that cute face. In Smash Bros., they want to get right up in your face, blocking your view of the battle. They just want to be loved! |
| Toy Poodle | 
|
N/A | Those adorable eyes and curly hair may remind people of teddy bears more easily than dogs. But unlike a stuffed animal, these dogs are active and love to play. One reason the dogs are so popular is that they are quite easy to train. They appear in Toy Poodle & New Friends. |
| Shiba Inu | 
|
N/A | The Shiba is one of the oldest breeds in the world. These Japanese dogs can be very loyal, and in the past their agility and active nature proved useful to their owners on hunting trips. You can look after and train one of these dogs in Golden Retriever & New Friends. |
| Beagle | 
|
N/A | Hunting wild rabbits used to be a popular sport in England, and the beagle, an active and playful breed, was a popular companion for it. Perhaps sleeping beagles nowadays dream of chasing rabbits like their ancestors. You can choose this breed in Golden Retriever & New Friends. |
| Jack Russell Terrier | 
|
N/A | This breed originated in England and is especially good at chasing foxes. With no foxes in the living room, though, it'll chase toys instead. Terriers are tough, athletic, and curious–a perfect fit for someone who is the same! You can choose this breed in Toy Poodle & New Friends. |
| Golden Retriever | 
|
N/A | This large breed was originally from Scotland and was used to hunt waterfowl. They're smart but way to friendly to make good guard dogs. They come in a variety of shades, but all members of the breed share the same golden color. This breed is included in Golden Retriever & New Friends. |
Red indicates exclusive to the Nintendo 3DS version.

Trivia
- There are many Mario references in the Nintendog series. The player can find hats that are the same as Mario's and Luigi's, as well as various toys. These include Mario, Princess Peach, and Bowser karts (designed with their Mario Kart DS kart style), which can be driven around the room, as well as Mushroom and ? Block toys to throw around. Additionally, the music played while driving the toy karts is heard from courses in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!
- Occasionally, pausing the game in Brawl while the Nintendog is on the screen will instantly cause it to leave.
- In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, while Nintendog will still appear in front of the screen when paused, moving the camera will cause it to be missing at every angle and zoom.
- In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, "Nintendog" is not capitalised, matching the stylization of the series' name.
- Nintendog, Andross, Waluigi and Zero are tied for having the most spirits for an Assist Trophy with 3 each.
