About the Game

Canine Derby Manager is a charming management simulation where you build and grow your own racing kennel from the ground up. Recruit promising puppies, develop their unique strengths, and carefully manage their training to turn them into elite competitors.

Each dog has distinct attributes, growth potential, and personality traits, meaning no two careers unfold the same way. Smart planning is key — energy is limited, training has trade-offs, and pushing too hard can lead to burnout at the worst possible time.

Compete across structured leagues from E-Rank local races to prestigious S-Rank championships. Study your rivals, prepare for race day, and watch your strategies play out on the track as your dogs fight for position and surge toward the finish line. Expand your facilities, improve training efficiency, and build a legacy through selective breeding to create the next generation of champions. Whether you play cautiously or chase risky breakthroughs, every decision shapes your rise through the derby circuit and your ultimate goal of becoming the top kennel in the league.
