Policies - Rules

Stud Policies

• females are never available
• High MP males for stud at level 30
• Low MP/Gene males at level 5+
• Prices based on quality, level, rarity
• Prices increase with level at my discretion. High level, high aged studs will be more, as will be 100+ day old studs as breedings decrease. At level 30, Mains are typically 200k and increase to 500k at L-50, 900k L-70, 2mil L90, and 5mil is often the minimum stud fee for mains over 101 days, with 10mil FPD not being unheard of for 95-100+ level studs over 101 days with few remaining breedings. I accept FPP, but I...
• do not lower prices. As a member of the Rare Dog Society, you may sometimes get a chance to win a free breeding with a stud, though!
• Upon all requests the dog is unlocked, vaccinated, etc before I accept. Do not message me over this! Request the dog, he will be good to go when I accept.
• Seriously, please do not message me within literally one minute asking me to unlock the dog. If you need a breeding that day for your 100+ day old female, plan ahead. I'm happy to answer questions not covered here and to plan to unlock on a certain day for you with a message in advance, and it's fine to message me if the vaccination has obviously expired after I approved or it has been a full day without approval. I'm not happy to get instant demands, though.

101+ Day Studs
• 100+ Day Stud availability fluctuates with my needs, their age and breedings remaining. If you need to assure a breeding in the future, you should message to plan with me.
• 100+ Day Stud breeding must be completed in 12 hours or the next FP day/rollover time, whichever comes first.
• ^I will not waste a dog's days, request when needed and breed right away
• ^^I will not keep unlocking the dog for your convenience. Sorry to be harsh, but I've had too many people waste my dogs' days like this.
•NEW RULE Due to this continuing, I will now be putting directions in their descriptions too, but for these studs, message me to unlock them. I can't keep messaging people and losing days on 101+ day dogs, I'm sorry. It's now your responsibility to message me. Seriously, I ask nothing but payment. I don't care if you want to breed your uncared for, FPGF rated, level 1 dog to my level 103 24HH 4xstm lala impeccably cared for stud, it'll get approved if you want to pay that 10mil FPD {or FPP}. This is very little to ask for everyone to use my dogs, so don't make a big deal of it. Thanks in advance, folks <3>

Sales Policies

•If a litter is not marked for sale, not marked Achievement, "open" or "1 - Open," it is not for sale. I appreciate that you think you're helping me by wanting to bid or that you want a puppy from me, but if it isn't for sale, it isn't for sale. See below for why.
• Most high MP litters are not sold from; I pick them and sell them once out of the litter. You can find them in the very first kennel tab :)
• When high MP litters are sold from it is ONLY after the aptitude test has been completed and my picks have been made.
• Waiting list is notified for picks first, then preference is given to home quality, and lastly to progenitor "points". Achievements are great, but not my main concern if it isn't an achievement litter.
• I accept FPP instead of FPD if desired! The process is: If it is a litter buy, just message me about paying in FPP as you would with an adult dog, and I will arrange to accept a $0 bid in the litter and have you send your FPP over. Adult dogs will be transferred for $0 to your account upon receiving FPP from you in a message. But please, message first! I don't want someone else to buy your dog before I can take it off of public buy.
•High-quality art may also be accepted instead of FPP.
• Due to being offered very low-quality dogs I don't need or want, I do not accept dogs for dogs anymore. The only exception to this may be a breed/specific stat/pattern of that breed that I have listed that I am in need of. You can find that at the top of the page currently, in bold, as "Seeking."
• If there is a breed you want, or are looking for a specific stat set, genes, gender, aptitude and so on in a breed, please message me to be on the wait list! :) You will then be notified as soon as I have a litter or dog of that breed for sale, and will have your choice of SPOL. When I do two litters on dogs, POL may be available, provided you are alright with waiting until second litter is aptitude tested for me to pick there.
• Pricing is based on multiplier, overall quality of genetics and aptitude in sport, rarity of coloration/pattern, as well as availability/current market rate of similar dogs as possible.
• Achievement litters and dogs are either free for new bidders or start at 3-5k. This is only different when it is technically an achievement litter because it's an A-Litter {test breeding/first litter before 101-110 day litter} and the dogs have good MP and quality.
• Dogs picked for sale have been picked for quality just as if they were being kept, and are sold fully equipped and (in the case of 6 day old puppies) untrained so that you may pick your desired sport!



Young Adult - Adult Sales

•Young dogs (right out of litter) are sold equipped but not trained unless it is a dog I had intended to keep and decided against; it has been trained in the best sport for its stats and aptitude.
•Adult dogs are leveled, trained, and equipped appropriately. These are typically dogs that were gene dogs I no longer need or ended up not needing.
•Gene/Project dog prices, and achievement dog prices, are based on overall quality and general market value. They can range from 2k to 400k and up depending on level achieved and the above factors.
•101+ day dogs that I did not end up using: in the case of females, these dogs have usually not been bred. These dogs are priced very highly, rarely below 3mil FPD, that is the general minimum. Pricing is based on level, breed, and overall quality and demand. Very rarely, I will have a female that I did breed in a B-Litter for sale. She has been bred one time, and her final litter with you will not suffer in quality.
•If a dog is on private sale or 101+ days of age, I would really love for you to keep the dog's name. I realize you do not have to do anything, but this is really my only stipulation. These are usually dogs that I have used as a stud who have a few breedings left that I have made the difficult choice to sell so that they may benefit another player. They are thus actively in my pedigree and it makes my life a lot easier if you keep the name! Furthermore, I admit that it is obnoxious to look back in my pedigree and see that my dogs are now technically related to a grandsire named "Spud" or "Panties" or "Cupcake" or something really ridiculous {all have happened!}. Again, I know you don't have to, but please be nice.
•As with puppies, FPP is acceptable instead of FPD, I love it, please do it. Dog trades are not usually accepted in the case of high MP, leveled competition dogs, or 100+ day dogs, but equal quality dogs that I may need are possible. The same is true of art, I have accepted high-quality art for these dogs in the past, but I mean high-quality art. This includes bases, refs and revamps, and tags as well as characters. For example, a dog worth 10mil FPD could be converted into the equivalent FPP and that applied to the quality of art pricing.
•While I always need FPD and FPP as I am very poor IRL and cannot buy FPP with real money, I work hard on these dogs, have worked hard on them since 2006 and I will not just accept anything you offer. I reserve the right to refuse a purchase of a private sale or litter buy for the following, but not limited to, reasons: you did not bid enough/I received a better offer, another bidder had a better quality home, the dog was up for sale privately to a waitlist buyer specifically, you have previously broken my rules or proven to be someone I do not want to sell to based on bad behavior in the past. I do not owe you an explanation of this choice, if you ask me, I may tell you...I expect not to be harassed about it. I may not answer...I expect not to be harassed about it.
•The same applies to dog and art trades. I am not trying to be mean, I know you work hard on your art and dogs. However, I cannot just accept things I do not want or haven't a use for at this point just to be nice. That's...how I end up wrecking my kennel finances and with a ton of dogs that just sit locked somewhere. Please know it is not personal! I will never, ever, insult your dogs, art, or kennels when/if I refuse. I promise. That's rude and unnecessary.
•Furthermore, it shouldn't even have to be said, but it probably does: I will not refuse you a dog based on any information supplied by you on your about page, on the forums, etc. Not limited to but including: your gender, sexuality, political affiliations, religion, or personal opinions expressed. In fact, I try really hard to not even know these things about you and I usually stay off of the forums with the exception of art and dog sales. None of these things will have any bearing on my sales choices. Only quality of home, payment, availability, and whether you've previously made my life terrible in this game with breaking rules like flipping my dogs, being incredibly rude and argumentative on the forums and elsewhere, and such.

Other Dog/Sales/Buying Related

•Buybacks: though I will not do so for an exorbitant price, I am interested in buying back my dogs that you have "rescued," yes. I'll pay up 200k for my main breeds and 50k for non-mains. Especially if they have ended up in the HS, as it really irks me when I see that in my dog's pedigrees several years in the past while looking something up.
•Rescues: I don't otherwise do rescues. I support your right to play the game as you wish and enjoy, but my desire to keep my lines, records, and main breeds clean and appreciated due to my hard work is not the same thing as feeling like these dogs are suffering neglect or something. Please don't try to guilt me into taking a bunch of dogs from you on that basis, it isn't going to happen. Don't send me random dogs to rescue. And unless I have agreed to do so because I really need the dog that badly {meaning I have seen it and sent you the form myself}, don't send me a giant questionnaire and things I have to agree to like keeping the dog in my kennel until the game retires it. If I say I will do something, then I will, but that's ridiculous. I'm not continuing to spend money and time on a dog that I probably just want to show until a good level, breed for its genetic contribution to the line, and retire. If you can't accept that the dog will be cared for, appreciated, and contribute to something instead of sitting around on an account uselessly, then I guess you shouldn't give me the dog because that's what is going to happen.
