So I decided now I've come back I want to start posting a few updates on the actual forum again. I don't want to burn myself out, so these will be mostly important updates and random pix, but I'll do something more often. So, news. I decided not to do my usual and age all my petz up after my break as self imposed punishment for leaving, because I've realised that's not helpful; instead all their ages are off by 6 month on my profiles post. The only puppy we currently have is borzoi Zelenskyy (yes, named after that Zelenskyy), spawn of my Zakopchyenniy and Thor 's Nazar (and because I bred him too he is accidentally linebred on my late PKC WC borzoi called Burya because I wasn't paying attention ). The oldest doggo we have is Max the II, she is 10 soon. I'll be retiring her from breeding soon so if you want to get some very titled GSD genes, put your apps in. Speaking of age, I've decided to vary lifespans depending on rl breed life expectancies (as per the Kennel Club's annual surveys); I hope this will provide both more realism and variety, and perhaps educate on the rl dangers of inbreeding and colour classes (looking at you, 6-7 year Great Dane life expectancy). Adjustments will be made depending on how it goes. As I came back I realised that as much as I loved all my doggos, I just wasn't clicking with certain breeds any more, therefore I decided to adopt out my scotties and chi. While I'm still waiting on Roger's breeder, Heather and Little Squirt were just adopted out to wonderful new homes. My current plans are to wait a bit, try to title some older dogz (though shows rn are very slow), and hopefully start to get some new blood into the kennel in the next few month; as much as I love the family vibes, I really need to not have everyone related as much as my rl snails are. And finally, some pics from this week: Smuvvles (from gwaeron ) "enjoying" time with family.Slipper being inappropriate.Is he a happy boy, or did he sit on a crab? You decide.Brothers being brothers.Lysander is an honorary GSD, despite being part borzoi and daxli (also Gwae's).Reject doge. Return to banana.I see you, baby, shaking that-Sock and Zokli, the eternal brothership <3

Smuvvles is from Zokli the dachie and Raptor the borzoi, both Gwae's, yes. He was an "accident" Fanks. Linebreeding is when breeders try to avoid getting told off for inbreeding by passing it off as less bad because it's with more distant relatives, basically. Breeding back to the animal's own genetic line.

The kennel welcomes several new puppers: I borrowed gwaeron 's Raptor to see if she and Sneg would get along; they fell in love almost immediately and here's the result. She's almost the perfect mix of her parents and is nearly weaned. The puppers above are from my dogz, Nib and Roma, and catcreature (from RKC)'s dogz, Baffled and Confused. I wanted my dogz to find true love so I asked catcreature if I could borrow her GSDs to do so, and these are the two winners. Matching pair <3Dozhd' is a special dog.Skillz.Nib contemplates the nature of time.Zokli & Sock <3

Our puppers have been weaned. We have: Nadiya, Sneg and Raptor's little girl. Luckily she loves her father, and the fact she and her mother hate each other is negated by the fact Raptor has been sent back to Gwae :x Dots, Nib and Baffle's little boy. He's only been weaned today so I don't know much about him, except he's not the fastest at learning tricks Athena, Roma and Confused's little girl. She's also only just been weaned today and so far I know she's considerably faster at tricks than Dots. The two are also good friends.

Today we say goodbye to an old friend, the poodly Patagonia. Adopted from Shade, she was a dog who knew her own mind, but not always where her oversized feet were. She was a loving mother and a close friend to many dogz here, who passed on at the age of 13. She will be sadly missed. We also say goodbye for now to Ratty, who has been adopted by her biggest fan, gwaeron. I never had any intention of adopting her out, but Gwae loves her so much I know she'll have an excellent life over with him, and she will always be welcome back for a visit. Her offspring with Lysander will be co-owned between us.

Puppers are growing... well. I sent the other two pups to catcreature, unfortunately they hate each other :x They are named Jassuma and Nilah.
