I was a bit bored and i was also wondering whats other kennels/members policy? Like, how do you breed and what do you breed, do you breed for level, color or stats? What does your pups normally cost, maybe the prizes is different between males and females? :] My policy is: "I breed Swedish vallhunds and i breed for level, color and stats. The prizes on my pups normally is from $100 - $1000, sometimes more...but for my Swedish vallhunds, the prizes will be from $500 - $1000. I do not really choose my prizes after female or male, more after level and color, sometimes stats to. I do not breed dogs that doesn't show up in the Hall Of Fame (normally) and i do not inbreed any of them" So, whats your policy? It's free to write it here =D Posted on 7/13/2010 By: Zios Was this helpful?

 

Hallo, I'm Daran, also known as Pup; or anything else, really. xD

I breed Pharaoh Hounds and Italian Greyhounds and I often try to breed them up by stats rather then levels or color, but lately I've been working to raise my Pharoah Hound levels before getting into raising stats and defining colors.

My Pups will often go from 5,000 to 10,000 depending on the levels, stats, color, etc... (I will however add that I don't believe in charging different prices for different genders =P) and I don't allow buyers to breed dogs bought from me, and I don't sell to anyone I don't know or trust.

I breed German Shepherd Dogs. I breed my dogs for level, stats and occasionally color.

My prices vary from $300 - $800 at the moment, but they will go up as my dogs levels and stats go up.

I do not inbreed, overbreed or overshow and only breed dogs I know for sure will produce quality puppies.

I do not let people who purchase any of my dogs breed them, stud them, resell them or send them to the SPCA. Whoever does do that will never be able to buy another puppy from me again.

Those are my policies. (:

Generally speaking:
I breed for level primarily, stats second, and colour last. It's not something I focus on much at all, actually, except for the first few generations of my newer breeds.
I inbreed rarely, and I only do so for the stats of the breed. I never sell any of my inbred dogs to other kennels, and generally speaking I only breed them to either created dogs or Gen #2 dogs.
I allow most of my breeds to go grey after the first 3-4 Generations. Sooner if grey is their natural colour.
I pay no attention to age when I breed. If I have a dog that has amazing stats and an amazing level and is 10yo, I'll breed them to a younger dog if it improves my line.

Dogs out of my litters are priced around 400$, higher if it wasn't a litter I bred to be sold, which means it as meant for my kennel [higher quality].
Rescues are usually priced at 100-150$, depending on HOF standings and age.
I don't charge a higher price for either gender because it makes absolutely no sense. You can produce just as many dogs out of a male you've bought as you can out of a female. One gender is not more colourful, nor does it have higher stats than the other.

I usually only sell to people I know I can trust, or those I've seen doing wonderfully in the game thus far. I'm definitely keeping to that from now on, with my recent train of bad events with some of my new buyers. I mean... I currently have an Aussie rotting in someone's kennel because they weren't on for more than a week. -_- She even produced an amazing litter of two males, I believe! They're rotting as well! Ugh.

I do not breed more than 3 times in a dog's lifetime. On this account most of my dogs aren't even bred, they're just shown. If I do breed the dogs, it's usually only twice in their lifetime, if the first breeding goes well.
On my other accounts I'll generally breed my foundation dogs twice, potentially three times if they have improved wonderfully throughout their lifetime. After the 2nd generation it tends to happen the same as my main account - most aren't bred.

My breeds:
Airedale Terrier, American Eskimo Dogs, American Water Spaniel, Australian Shepherds, Bedlington Terrier, Black and Tan Coonhound, Briards, Cairn Terrier, Chow Chow, Cockapoo, Dandi Dinmont Terrier, Field Spaniel, Gordon Setter, Great Pyrenees, Komondor, Kuvasz’, Lhasa Apso, Maltese, Norfolk Terrier, Norwich Terrier, Papillon, Patterdale Terrier, Petite Basset Griffon Vendeen, Pointer, Puli, Saint Bernards, Shih Tzu, Siberian Huskies, Sloughi, Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier, South Russian Ovtcharkas, Treeing Walker Coonhound, Welsh Springer Spaniel, and Welsh Terrier.

On this account, I am working with Akitas, American Bulldogs, American Pit Bull Terriers, American Staffordshire Terriers, Anatolian Shepherds, Boxers, Cane Corso Mastiffs, English Bulldogs, German Shepherd Dogs, Great Danes, Mastiffs, Newfoundlands, Rhodesian Ridgebacks and Rottweilers. On my other upgraded account, I am working with Australian Shepherds, Beagles, Belgian Sheepdogs, Border Collies, Chinese Shar-Peis, Dalmatians, German Wirehaired Pointers, Komondors, Samoyed, Shiba Inus, Spinone Italianos, Vizslas, Weimaraners and Welsh Springer Spaniels. On my basic account, I am working with the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and Chihuahua.

I have been breeding for just stats since about 2007. I am experimenting with color here and there. I have been successful in keeping litters colored. I do not pay attention to levels at all. I show my dogs on a strict schedule rotation, so they are being leveled. I just never focus on levels when I am pairing two dogs together.

The prices for my dogs vary. In order to figure out an exact price, I take the stat total of the dog and times it by two. Then, I add $100 to that if they dog has a color or $50 if the dogs natural color is grey. Level is never a factor when deciding prices.

I do not inbreed. I would probably think of linebreeding, but usually their family members are retired when they are ready to breed. I also do not breed them more than three times. I usually breed them at eight, so it would only be one litter in their lifetime. I am going to try and experiment with two litters in their lifetime. I am still debating though. I only sell my dogs to people who I trust will take care of them well. I only have three rules when people purchase my dogs. Do not send them to the SPCA (I will always buy them back for the original price), keep the kennel prefix and picture, and no inbreeding or overbreeding. I allow people to stud out my dogs. I have no problem with it as long as they pay close attention to the future partners pedigree.

I think that is it. If I have anything else to share, I will post it later. :)

Vinnie - I have long explanations with big-ish words. And a lot of dogs to talk about. XD It happens all the time. lol.


Also, since I did see other people talking about it:
When I sell my dogs, I do have rules. Females can not be bred more than 3 times, males no more than 4 [be it to outside dogs or the new owner's dogs], if someone buys two dogs from me they can not be bred together, my prefix must be kept in the dog's name, and the dog can not be sent to the SPCA. I used to believe the rule of not selling a dog with a prefix to any other kennel without the breeder's permission was an unspoken rule, but apparently it isn't. I just figured that since you can't legally sell a dog from a breeder in real life without the breeder's permission, that people wouldn't do it on BSK since it's similar. But I guess...
Oh yeah. I also request that my dogs be shown at least once a week in their new home. Seems reasonable to me.

I have studding rules as well. My dogs are no longer placed up for public stud since I used to get like 2 requests a day for my dogs, and none of them would meet the requirements. It was rather aggravating, so I took them off. Anyone wishing to stud to my dogs must now message me for me to put them up for stud. The female must have an actual name. Not "New Puppy" or "akjnwe;" or something like that. I don't care about Gen. #s as names either. So long as it's either a Gen. # or a name like "twisted caps" or "sally". Not just new puppy or random typings. Nor just a level and stats. I don't allow the female to just be names "Lvl. 1122323 3/3/3/3" or something.
The female has to have a health of at least 70%. I'll breed my dogs at a lower health, but I guess I just don't want other breeders to show the heck out of their dogs and then let them rest for a day, then breed them. =/
The female has to have a level other than 0, and for some breeds it has to be above a certain number. Like Aussies I'd prefer higher than 10, Sibes higher than 50, etc. And the female has to have been entered into at least two shows.
Of course, there are certain users that I don't mind ignoring one or two of the rules for, like the health or the level. But that's in special cases. :)


I think that's it?
I've been breeding Sibes 'n Aussies since '08. Other breeds have been added over time. Kuvasz' and SROs I've bred since the beginning of '09. I used to breed many of the breeds I now do like AEDs, Briards, Norwichs and Puli back toward the end of the middle of '09 until they came off the rare breed list. I sold off the lines to focus on Sibes, Aussies, Kuvasz' and SROs, and they ended up going right back on the rare breed list, so I'm not selling my rare breeds ever. Not even to those users I know wouldn't let them go back on!
I originally started out breeding Wolves when I first started BSK in early '08, though. That was back when the highest levelled wolf you would find was like 600 and the stats were all under 10. Breaking 10 for a stat back then was rare and was cause for major celebration. ^_^

Wel i breed American Staffords, Tosa Inu's, Cane Corso's &Fila's  .. i'll Maybe keep my Mini Bull Terriers 2.. idk yet..

I breed for Level and Stats.   Not so much for color anymore, as they are far from realistic. (Blue Merle Tosa Inu? ..Wha??)

So well, now my main goal is to , somehow, breed a dog with stats 100+
I allready bred an American Stafford with 50stats :]  (Today! YaY!)


I Keep my lines private (allready..2months?) I don't like people buying my dogs and then breeding them like bunnys untrill they get the highest leveled and lowest stated dog on bsk.. i mean..come on!

I'm a pit competitive, so i want to be the 1st to get the best dogs of a certain breed myself ;)  hehe

But if i do sell any of my dogs, the prices would be def. above 3.000$
And if i keep my dogs on the top of their breed, well the prices will raise.
But i won't be selling them anyway ;D

I breed my dogs max 2 times in their lifetime, mostly only once, but if the litter's so good i allmost fall off my chair..well i'll breed the pair once again. (and i don't fall off my chair so quickly, so it won't become a habit)

My dogs must be showed, groomed, & named!

The dogs that are at my kennel but are not named, will never be bred, only showed and if they get good results in shows they will be passed to the -maybe- breedable section. (most of them aren't bred even then )

I retire my dogs at the age of 10 (as soon as the "retire" button shows up)

I Never,Never! Stud my dogs. I don't want to take the risk someone's going to breed with one of my males, get good pups and then start a puppymill and consider himself/herself as the "best champion breeder" of that breed.
So asking me for studding is, senseless. :)

I mainly breed the Japanese breed of Shiba Inu. After noticing their horribly low levels, I have added Otterhounds, Irish Terriers, and Pekingeses as side breeds.

I mainly focus on level and stats, but I attempt to breed for color. To be honest, the dogs could be walking around green and pink stripes with yellow polka dots, for all I care. I do not inbreed, my dogs are only breed once in their life time, rarely two. No dog under twenty total stats will be bred. My dogs are shown daily, until they hit about below forty health, where I let them rest.

My lines are completely private, at the moment.

I breed Whippets, Greyhounds and the Basenji.

I breed for Level, Stats and then colour.  I am also very careful about inbreeding.  I name my dogs with a certain tag so I can tell what line they come from and who I have partnered them with.

I never sell or stud out any of my dogs. This keeps my line pure.

Colour:  I don't fuss if any greyhound or whippet puppy turnes out as grey.  Please ask me why I don't mind, well greyhounds and whippets are grey, or can be.  Besenjis on the other hand... I will accept any colour.  I do ecept grey but only one of the parents should be grey.  If both parents are grey then we get into the vicious circle.  And when thime comes to offer my dogs to the public, people may be put off about the whole "No colour" thing.

Stats:  I don't breed any dog if their stats are below 20.

I think thats all really.

This is my new breeding policy:

"Here, we breed only the best Mini aussies. The price is normally $500-$1000, it can be more. It's private breeding at the moment, do not ask for any current pups or upcoming pups."

We breed for: 

1) Level

2) Color

3) Show/Breed Quality

4) Stats

Of course we do not inbreed or overbreed them

I'll aslo edit "I do not breed them more than once in their lifetime, and thats when they turn 8yo" to my breeding policy.

Thanks everyone for posting your breeding policy and there is room for more :]

I think I will be the first to openly admit I do inbreed. Only since it is a game, I do not mean to be rude to those who dont inbreed, in real life I would never even atempt in-breeding.

I breed Cattle Dogs, English Setters and Cane Corso's in this account. Border Collies, Irish Wolhounds, and Greyhounds in my other account. I have tried many times to breed color but have given up. Right now my plan is to get my dogs levels really high than add color in to the line.

I will sell a pup to some one who contacts me, but I dont advertise my pups. So far my only rule is the dog should be givin some attention, a name, shown, groomed, and maybe a pic.

Simple and clean:

 

A wolf is only worth it's level.

 

*Years ago, I had wolves in the hundred millions for levels, then a glitch deleted them. :<<<*

 

All other dogs are only worth their stats. (I add up their % of training with their % of intelligence, strength, etc.)

 

Works for me.
