MEMORY & MATCHING GAMES
About the game
Dogs come in all sizes and colours! At times, it may be difficult to comprehend that a tiny Chi-
huahua belongs to the same species as a massive Mastiff. Play a matching game and match
dogs of the same breeds together.
This game is made for dog lovers, no matter how big or small. It features 80 dog cards and
different levels of complexity, making it a game that can be adapted for a variety of ages!
The first part of the game focuses on matching adult dogs to puppies of the same breed,
while the second part of the game introduces variations within the same breed.
How to Prepare the Game
Print the cards, preferably on thick card stock (80+ lb), so the pictures cannot be seen from
the other side. Optionally, you can also turn them over and print the included patterned
backs on the other sides of the cards. That will allow you to separate the two games included.
Cut the cards out with scissors or a paper trimmer.
You’re now ready to play!

PUPPY AND ADULT DOGS
MEMORY & MATCHING GAMES
Some puppies look very similar to their grown-up versions, while others go through quite a
transformation on their way to becoming full-grown dogs. Any Mastiff owner will tell you as
much! In this game, match puppies to their adult versions and the other way around.
This game includes puppies and adult dogs from a diverse but far-from-exhaustive selection of
breeds: Afghan Hound, Australian Shepherd, Bernese Mountain Dog, Border Collie, Bull Terrier,
Bulldog, Chihuahua, Chow Chow, Pembroke Welsh Corgi, Dalmatian, Doberman Pinscher,
Mastiff, French Bulldog, German Shepherd, German Shorthaired Pointer, Golden Retriever,
Great Dane, Old English Sheepdog, Pomeranian, Poodle, Rottweiler, Saint Bernard, Saluki, and
Siberian Husky.
There are two sets of cards provided: one with the dog breeds pictured and labelled and
another more challenging set with just illustrations and no text.
HOW TO PLAY
Sorting Game
Mix all the cards thoroughly, face up. Two players look through them, finding matching pairs
as quickly as they can. Once all the dog cards are sorted, the winner is the person who found
the most pairs.
Matching Memory Game
Depending on the number of players and their ages, you can either use a few pairs at a time (4
-5) or create a big memory game with all of them.
Place the cards face down in a rectangular grid on a table. Players take turns temporarily
revealing two cards from the grid. If both of the cards revealed are the same species, the
player who revealed them gets to keep them. If a player keeps a pair of cards, they can reveal
two more cards. If the cards they reveal do not match, it is the next player’s turn.
Whoever has the most cards at the end of the game wins.
Take It Up a Level
Make it easier by using the cards with text or make it harder by using the cards without text.
For extra difficulty, use the cards of breeds whose puppies may look visually similar. For
instance, mix in Bernese Mountain Dog and Australian Shepherd, Rottweiler and Doberman
Pinscher, Dalmatian and German Shorthaired Pointer, Pembroke Welsh Corgi and Chihuahua.

breed standard. In this game, players will match the dogs who have different colour variations
but belong to the same breed!
This game includes dogs of the following breeds: Afghan Hound, Australia Cattle Dog,
Australian Shepherd, Chihuahua, Chow Chow, Dachshund, English Cocker Spaniel, French
Bulldog, German Shepherd, Great Dane, Labrador Retriever, Pomeranian, Poodle, Bull Terrier,
Chinese Crested, Siberian Husky, Collie, and Shi Tzu.
