Actually I used to have a spreadsheet that noted the judges' preference along with the breeds' scale of points. But that went out the window when all the judges came back to life. Now there are just too many judges and it would be a full time job.

Back when the judges were reasonable in number, it worked pretty well. I know there are head judges and I should show my Afghans under them, etc. Now there are so many I just don't care anymore and my numbers show it.

To me the easiest thing for Jeff to do would be to, as he had suggested, show the next 1 or 2 decimals. I would think it would be fairly simple to do code wise but I don't understand any of that.

It would reset the game for quite a while. He has promised this game won't go away but it is losing members every day and he needs to do something.

Dalmatians used to be one of my favorite breeds but with 2 colors and 100 for every dog, I have pretty much lost interest. Lost interest in dogs like Goldens long ago.

1 easy fix, if all dogs over 50 sop suddenly died

---

This comment actually made me laugh. As my breed enters 98+ SOP, I often think about doing my own hard reset, but the thought is exhausting.

I have nothing meaningful to add to the discussion. A minor tweak to the stats would only bring some breeds back to the 100 issue after a few years.

I'd love to see additional decimals for clarity in breeding, but might it also take some of the fun out of the game? I have a 97.5 girl I am campaigning who places over my own higher SOP dogs frequently. I am always astounded by my surprise "stars" and it truly emphasizes how SOP isn't everything.

But neither is 100 in breeds with one or two colors. I dabble in Standards and even there I am surprised, but it's not as exciting.

I think everyone has thoughtful suggestions which would spice up gameplay. To see them implemented, another story.

My breed just reached 100 sop, and something I've been throwing around is a member started reset? What if we got everyone in the breed to agree to sterilize everything and start over with starter dogs? I would be very about this and it essentially resets everything.

I would so be on board with this!

Maui Breeze…who knows.
Life without Showdog would be…different and a bit sad, for me at least. Many of us have been plodding along since the beginning.
I only took a break when I was in hospital, many years ago.

I hope he knows it would be a huge loss.

I have been playing since 2003. I used to breed and show in real life so playing the game is my dog show fix. We really need Jeff to do another reset. I have one 100% breed, Dobes, but it is really impossible to even guess at which ones are the ones to keep other than certain colors seem to win more than others. My long time breed is the Norwich and we have just had a few 99s for the first time. If Jeff does not want to manage the game anymore maybe he could sell it to someone who would.

Hell no to all dogs over 50 dying !!

It’s taken me over 10 years to get my Gordon’s where they are !

Agree. Not in favor of that or or restarting everything. I guess my choice would be more decimals. And retiring all these judges.

thissssssssss

I'm a returning player who stopped playing around the time SOP was introduced to the game so it is surprising seeing how close to 100 the majority of breeds is now.

It would be nice to see the system tweaked so its a little farier, to allow SOPs to lower.

But I have 10 slots free if anyone desperately needs to drop a dog or two, I don't mind babysitting temporarily and I check in daily so can get them back to you quickly

At this point in the life cycle of the game, I don't look for Jeff to make any major changes. I think this is the last game standing on his platform.

Unfortunately, Barstar, I agree with you. I think we are on our own. I would be lost if this game went away, it has filled my RL show void for what now, 17 years I think.

Oh hell no. I have been here since 2007 and that would devastate me.

I agree there has to be something Jeff can do. This is a good game but 100 is boring and we cannot keep all the puppies.

Not sure how a fix will make everyone happy. Is anyone having this issue on the cats or horse games?

The ShowCats and ShowHorse games were shut down years ago. ShowDog is the only game Jeff has running at the moment. It's the last one standing...

Once you hit 100, you can always slow down breeding operations and focus on showing goals. Think about shooting for GChs and Merit awards on your producers.

Another option if you are addicted to the breed button(lol) Try producing rare colours.

I don't think 100 is boring. The worst part of 100 is people tend to leave the breed since there isn't a visual progress to be made anymore (stats getting bluer, SOP going up). I'm in a few 100 sop breeds, and trying to find that next competitive dog is interesting and fun; while it seems like pure chance, I do think genetics has a play in it too. I'd personally be very saddened if all the breeds were set back again and hope this doesn't happen. JMO
