I have some downtime for a couple months so decided to crack open my SD account for a bit.

Are most of the active breeds heavily populated with family kennels of the same breed? A lot of random basic kennels that are short-lived. I know this has happened through out the 20 years of SD, but it seems like that's what's keeping the game alive.

I was going to find a breed to work with, but it looks like all my favorites would be almost lost to starter quality if the one main breeder dropped out or didn't make things available.

Glad the games still here.

I have noticed many breeds just have a couple of kennels. If it's a breed that has reached 100 and there is just 1 color or maybe 2, it's kind of pointless to be in it honestly. I don't know where this game is headed...

No, not your imagination at all. Malamutes and Dobermans have this going on right now. For me, it’s not a problem when people play each kennel as an individual, it’s when there is a giant superkennel that I, personally, have an issue. I do know the rules about this are no longer enforced, so there is a lot more unethical game play now than there was when I had to stop playing in 2022.

The only mega super kennel on here right now is the WP account. 58 kennels, who have told players to leave their breeds and have tried to get Jeff to either ban/suspend/cancel their subscriptions. As for the whole 'it's my kids, family, in-laws, friends, neighbors' that they claim, the entries and last minute withdraw of entries are not when bed times for kids normally are...

I will message you the rest of the details as I am not sure if it is forum appropriate.

The current state of the schedule of points for Malamutes is unfortunate.

They're doing the same in other breeds, too btw.

I know, they are slowly working on doing the same in Standard Poodles, which is unfortunate.

What is the purpose of WP trying to infiltrate breeds like they do? I know I’ve seen their kennels around, and I was told in another of my kennels to be careful because they try to get people banned. But why aren’t they banned? Super kennels have been a no-no since the beginning of the game..l

I picked up a pup from you a couple weeks ago. She should be ready to hit the ring in a few weeks.

They have had people banned via lying to Jeff. He has been shown screenshots of harassing and threatening emails, his actual email, and of the super kennels and nothing has been done about it.

Their goal is to be the top kennel in ALL breeds and have top dogs in all breeds. That can be done without getting people banned and by playing without super kennels. Look at the breed directory for Malamutes, 99% of those are his. The majority of us left. Any kennel that contains the wp prefix belongs to them. Last I counted they had 58 kennels, which they use to take over breeds.

ANY kennel with the WP prefix in it, IS theirs. These kennels have spread into others as mentioned. I do have a list of all their current kennels because to quote Styx: Too Much Time on My Hands *clap clap* lol

Guess I won't bother to show any of my Mals unless it's a no handler show. No point in going here.
