Skills

Finster2 · April 2011

I was just thinking how annoying it is for me to message all of those trainers and breeders saying, "Do you have 100 in skill?" and how annoying it must be for them as well. So I thought it would be cool if somewhere on their kennel it would show the skills that had 100 in them, or just plain list the skills and what score they have in each one. Now I know that you can tell their skills by their titles, but you are allowed to have 100 in two skills. So Maybe they're a breeder with 100 in breeding skill, but they also have 100 in handling skill, and have Grand Master Handler set as their title. Then we don't know! So I just thought it would be a good feature to have if we can see their skills. If that made any sense at all (which I highly doubt!) I'd love to hear your opinion.

Me likey! I used to be a breeder, and I was so annoyed by those questions. I dont even ask anymore, I just find someone that says grand master breeder/trainer.

Yeah. I was asked that ALL. THE. TIME. As a breeder, and it was so irritating. But thanks for liking! XD

As a breeder, that is one of the most annoying questions somebody could ask to get on my bad side. Another would be "Would you age the male?" No! Why in the world would I do that?

Im sorry but I DO ask this question to EVERY sponsor i use. Breeders and Trainers alike and i AM a trainer. Didn't know yall didnt like it BUT these are my dogs and im not gonna let someone ruin them and my puppies (10x4 internationals 280/200 WITH 250 aggro and HIGH loyalty or my lines) Im not gonna let somebody ruin them over NOT asking a question. Ive had too many people try to tell me AFTER they bred or trained them that it was my fault OR had a noob tell me once after breeding a personal gifty that an unspoken rule of theirs is that they get pick of the litter. Uhm NO! But anyways. Just giving a new opinion to this and HOPING i didnt offend any of yall cuz thats not what i was aiming for xD Mini rant there >.< i think this is a VERY VERY good idea!!!

Oh, no! You certainly didn't offend me Vampy. That's perfectly understandable. I've also had it happen with the Greyhounds I I normally sell neutered for like 1Mil++ to me with an unreliable breeder, twice now. First time I was really annoyed because I told her "I bid on one, can you please the release the rest?" So she releases them, and then what's she do? Chooses one to keep. And now I can't get the dog back cause she dyed it, and she won't answer my messages anymore. She only did once saying,"Well you said you didn't want it.." Next time same thing happened, but the breeder REFUSED to give the dog back, saying it was her best brood and all this crap. So I told her to just freaking retire the dog! She what does she do? She takes the female's puppies (which all of the dogs I even giveaway are NEUTERED. AT. BIRTH.) and keeps those and then retires the female. UGH. End of my mini rant, too. xD I have to really stop doing this. Hijacking my own posts.. o.o

I was hoping i hadn't offended anybody with my asking. I never guessed that it was considered rude =O but id rather be rude then have someone keep on of my show pups for free ya know? I mean... ive given dogs away for 100k from my showdogs but NOT if they want to scam it out of me

Frostbight8 · April 2011

Yeah, no, Vampy. I didn't mean anything. You're fine.. It's when people ask it rudely. I was typing that quickly and had to go. If I had more time, I would've worded that better. It's when people sort of.. Treat me like I'm lesser than them.. Maybe like "You better not age that male."

Although this is a good idea and I can see the benefits (and I do like it) but I personally wouldn't want this introduced if there wasn't an option to not display the skills. I don't see why the rest of VP should see what skills I have, and maybe I'm just saying this because I believe most VPians who know of me, and know that I am a good trainer, must assume I have 100 in training anyway. And I wouldn't want to use, say a training kennel, that may have 100 in training but also 100 in breeding, I wouldn't want to use it as a breeding kennel. So I don't see the point of showing all skills. My opinion. (:

Most of the training kennels I've seen have their titles as "Grand Master Trainer" which is well, indicative of that 100 in training. xD I've also had breeders that have 100 in skill, but aren't efficient as well with sponsor trainers. I'd rather just stick to a reliable trainer. xD

FlyTM · June 2011

I'm sure most breeders would have 100 in breeding anyways? and Trainers. As they would want the best for their own lines o.O anyways I my self am sick of people asking but I just don't reply to them who ask now days, easy fix ^^.

You guys bring up some good points. Should we let this die?

Howdy, Stranger!
