Hello all! I actually posted this originally as a reply to an old topic, but I realized some may not see it.

I saw a dog listed for sale with negative condition - I hadn't seen that when I played before (years ago), and hadn't seen it yet this time around.

I bought the puppy out of curiosity and as an experiment to see how fast/if I can get condition up.

How does that happen? What causes negative condition?

The condition of the dam is very important. In this case, the dam's condition is 7, which is poor, so this affected her offspring. (I am assuming you are referring to the Irish Setter in your kennel.)

... The condition a puppy is born with is based on the condition of the mother at the time she whelps. The higher a mother's condition is, the higher the puppies' condition will be at birth.
