Some of you may know me - I've played on SD on/off for the past 10 years I have recently made the decision to leave the game.

So I thought I'd compile just a short list of some of the dogs I felt like were worth mentioning

Obviously over those years I have played under many different kennel names (having had a total of 20 kennels and currently have 15 of those at the moment) and I've been involved in over 90% of the breeds in the game in one way or another. I've bred, I've shown, I've campaigned, I've done projects to finish a CH of every breed, I've colour bred, bred for traits, bred for merits, made banners, run competitions, you name it

I've met so many wonderful people through this game - several of them now considered as close friends and one who I even met in RL when she came down to my hometown on holiday one year!

Obviously I can't list every dog who I've ever been proud of in this game - but I've decided to list a select few. I've also included Dam/Sire merits as I feel like these merits often get skimmed over and not recognized.

Oh Dalkeith

I will be so sorry to lose you.

I count myself privileged to have been a fellow player in your time and have benefited from your advice and your breeding.

I liked your banners a lot and your kennel pages. I used to check them to see what changes you've made, it was interesting to me at least . Hope you change your mind and stay.

Really sad to see you go Rij. It was fun working with you and helping each other out in several breeds. Interesting to see all your kennels too!

So sad to see you go! The first dog I ever bought on this game was from you. Thank you for being welcoming when I was new! It definitely helped me decide to stick around.

I think I've just about taken your entire lot of Chins! Thank you very much, they will continue on here and help bring back the lost colors!

I am really going to miss your postings of long lost- hidden studs of the different breeds...That is quite a task!

Hope that you come back some day!

Rustic

Oh man, I'm going to miss you so much! You've been such a wonderful asset to the game. I sure hope one day you'll be back <3

Very sorry to see you going (very much a loss to the Showdog community) --- hope to see you back some day.

We are all going to miss you as an outstanding player. I'm also going to miss the updates on Emmett and Tonks.

Wishing you all the best and hoping to see you back some day.

So sorry to see you go

Thank you so much for all the lovely messages of farewell It's been an absolute delight to play this game and meet so many awesome people

Wishing you all the very best
