Here's how the Mac OS X compatible game is described: "Puppy Luv: A New Breed is your new travel and home companion. This puppy will provide unconditional love for you and the entire family and you will have hours of fun playing with your new best friend. From caring to tricks your new puppy will keep you entertained for hours and hours, but don’t forget him, he still gets hungry and is always looking to be loved."

Puppy Love: A New Breed has real time attributes that change depending on the dog's mood. You can pick from four different breeds: "mutt," Beagle, Dalmatian and a Labrador of different colors. You can train your dog to do tricks (there are 11 tricks total) and upgrade your back yard (with things such as trees to a new dog house). There's a store where you can buy your puppy over 25 different toys, six competition modes where you can win money, and a full screen and windowed modes.
