Post subject:  How To Export Your Dog Files For Multiplayer Competition

From the Greyhound Manager Instructions Manual...

5.2.1. Exporting Dogs

"You may export an owned dog at any time. The dog is exported along with it’s current state of fitness/condition etc. Dogs may not be re-imported into a game but they may used later in ‘constructed’ races (including possible online competitions). See section 6.

An exported dog is saved along with your chosen tactics so be sure to set them before clicking the EXPORT button. For example. You may wish to email you dog file (the resulting files are very small) to a league master for who would then import you dog along with other users dogs and race them. He would then make available the replay file so all competing trainers could watch the race

Exported dog files are stored in the .\EXPORTS\DOGS folder. All dog files have the .dog extension and are names using the trainers (players) name followed by an underscore and then the dogs name. For example: ‘dave_mark of zorro.dog’ is a valid dog file name. These files can be copied or emailed as you wish.

Note that Greyhound Manager exports folder is located in a folder allocated by your operating system. This folder is displayed on the Construction Kit main menu. You will need to browse this folder to locate your exported dogs or to copy a league race to the ‘leagueraces’ folder."


The Race Builder stated that mine could be found in the C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\greyhound manager\exports\dogs folder. The files not only show you the names of the dogs, but also the year of their lives in which they were competing in.

Locate the desired files and attach them to an email and ship them off. It is as easy as that. If you exported a dog for every year that he/she competed in then they would be able to compete in seasonal multiplayer competition for each of those years. That works very well in the Starters Orders Pro League for SO2 players.
