Hello!
I am looking at trying to bring back American Eskimo Dogs from source (amongst other goals). However, it’s been a bit since I’ve been here. Out of curiosity, does anyone know the difference between the source quality? How does that work? Any tips on breeding from source? Thanks! Windy |

Hi, I have been breeding True source dogs since 2006. They are getting better but not show quality yet. This is not a task for the faint of heart. It takes time and dedication. Some people cheat ( I am a purist) and cross breed with higher SOP dogs. You can do it that way too. You should get a show dog faster. You can message me if you have more questions or just reply here. Carol |

this post has been edited 1 time(s) Thank you so much for reaching out! I can only imagine the work that goes into it, for sure. At the moment, I would like to revive a breed that appears to only have four or five dogs total (all source dogs on a basic kennel that hasn’t visited in days). So, they would technically be show quality from the start (though not competitive in any other way, shape, or form). I guess I just want to bring back an extinct breed. I’ll be sure to head over and read the posts you put out. As an edit: are rare breed accounts still a thing? I remember they existed way back when (Actually, I remember when they were first introduced), and am curious if they are still around. ----- Last edited by Windsong Hills on 2/7/2020 4:12:22 PM |

I am not sure about rare breeds being a thing, anymore. |

Ah, that's a shame. it seems difficult to find source dogs to start a line. |

I played when the game was brand new and now I am back since I have so much more free time lately. I have a couple of kennels (not this one) where I am breeding from source. One I am doing true source breeding because all dogs in the game are source. In two kennels I started with source animals but I am using outside studs to make the process go more quickly. Breeding source to source so far has been a nightmare! But as far as I can tell I am the only person doing it in the breed so I will try for a while. I had 32 puppies and kept two but only because I felt like I had too, not because they were of a good quality; I am trying to decide what to do as they age (they are only a couple of days old). |
