I used to play this game many many years ago, and just recently made a comeback. Happy to see this game is still thriving! I'm not playing competitively, just casually breeding some of my favourite breeds and enjoying colour genetics. I still had all my dogs from 2014, so I unlocked them and continued where I left off. I breed a litter here and there, but I don't really have any strict goals in mind, sometimes it might just be to get some pretty colours.
IRL I own a Eurasier, that is why this breed is prominent in my kennel. I also used to own a Norfolk Terrier but he has since passed over the rainbow bridge, so I'll keep a handful of Norfolks here in his honor. Kooikerhondje is a breed I'd like to own in the future, so I picked up a couple from the foundation.
Achievements didn't exist back when I played, but because I'm an avid achievement hunter in other games, I started working on them here too! I am mostly working on the Diversifier right now, and bought a few random breeds from the foundation for the first stage. Then I discovered I can also bid on people's Progenitor litters and get Diversifier dogs that way while helping others, so I've been doing that for now. I might also bid on other litters occasionally. Feel free to decline my bid if you don't need one from me, or if you'd rather have your puppy end up in a more competitive environment! I will keep all the dogs I buy, train them in a suitable discipline and lock them if I have to be inactive for a while, so they'll have a good home with me.
