It depends on the life expectancy of the dog breed. The point is that you don't use contracts to extend the life of your dog after it's been automatically expired by the game.
I got them when I was in basic training, the only way to really get rid of them is to rest them, reduce the workload and/or wear better shoes. You can ice them to relieve the pain and swelling. They're usually a result of sudden strenuous increase i…

The difference between the outside stats being 160 or 200 won't keep your dog from winning.
It should matter, depending on which stat is being judged. If the stat isn't listed, it's not important and it won't matter if it's 160 or…
If a dog's trained/actual stats, the numbers outside the parenthesis, aren't as high as the competitions' stats in the important areas, it won't win. In Field Retrieve, aggression doesn't matter, so it won't matter whether it's maxed. The numbers in…
The event doesn't actually score based on distance. The coding determines the winners based on stats and then the distance is made up based on points. Looking at the dogs themselves, it seems to me that the event is scoring correctly, just the dista…
If you think someone is purposely trying to pretend to be you, you can report them and we'll look into it.
Sugarbread is kinda like a cinnamon roll, it's a real thing, though I don't know how popular it is.
Kinda have to remember that new players have never been in the game, so it would be difficult for them to have known what other kennel names are already taken.
I would say they are both. The weight/height of the parents determines a range of possibilities for the pups with the random chance of throwing pups outside that range.
Sponsors have certain bonuses built in according to specialty. Skills give an added bonus, but it won't be as large as the sponsor bonus. So you could have breeding skill on a training account and have better pups than a novice, but they generally w…
Around here, it seems many people don't believe in immasculating dogs. There is only only one other dog in the neighborhood that is fixed.
When I rescued Buddy, people were asking if I intended to breed him because he had such a good nature (mind y…
We've not worked out exactly what the length of time will be. I would imagine once we get Beta up and live, that we'll ask for input from the players. Hosts will always have the option of running them themselves after 1 day if the event has more tha…
The events would just sit there.In Beta, the events run themselves after meeting certain criteria, so that shouldn't be a problem unless an event doesn't get enough entries. We tried that here at least once, though I want to say twice, but when Ops …
I would suggest putting articles of clothing or toys to make him feel/remember being safe. A dirty T-shirt that you've worn, for example. Make sure the traps aren't out in the wide open as he may be too afraid to go to them. Good luck and hope you g…
The Vent section was created because quite a few players complained about the number of negative posts in General Discussion and this separates them so if a player doesn't want to see, they just don't go into the section. Haven't seen any complaints…
I think I did it again. I did not write that thinking people were being greedy. I was going on the assumption that players were looking for ideas to liven things up. Running events faster and not having to wait to see results might do this. Discussi…

I'd also like to address running events with low entries. I think the problem compounds itself because some players wait to enter their dogs until there are a certain number of entries, and then there are never that many entries (es…
I like this idea. I don't think it'll be feasible though. Beta coding works a little differently. In order to have a specialized (training, breeding, etc) kennel, the overall account must be sponsored. Like with dogs, if you have a sponsor with bree…
The ledger has always been wrong and has been buggy since game creation. What exactly it does and doesn't add, I'm not sure, but very well could be sales from adoptions is one of those. Best bet would see if someone could adopt from you while you're…
