I am wondering if anyone else is dealing with major guilt on this game.

I am in a whole bunch of breeds that I know if I were to FH the majority of my dogs to get into other breeds or close a kennel, that breed would take a MASSIVE hit, and I feel like I might be to blame if that breed were to "die" and have to be restarted over.

I like the fact that on this game, it takes actual effort and time to develop the breed's traits and pedigree, but the one downfall I think about this game is that a RL decade of time can be "lost" or can end in just a few hundred days as the dogs die and can't return and you have to start over.

I'm in breeds that I've been in by myself for years, too. I just know if I get rid of them or let them die, then all that work by all those users in the past will be for nothing, pretty much, as the lines will all have to start from scratch.

I just don't want to be the reason why that happens to a breed.

SO, I have a bunch of breeds in my kennels that I don't want to be in anymore or have waited for that "zest" for some breeds to return to me but it never does, but I'd feel too much guilt getting rid of them, FHing them, or selling them to new users who never log in again.

I have breeds that I breed every couple hundred days just to keep the line going and have been doing this for years at this point.

Breeds that I've been in for years I would feel SO BAD to quit and leave the smaller breeders to their own devices as I've been supplying good studs for them for years and we've all been playing together for so long.

I don't know, I'm finding it hard to quit this game for the guilt factor of a breed dying out and all that time and effort going to waste...

And then, I have been overwhelmed with my kennels and all the random breeds I'm in but know if I get rid of them, it's getting rid of like 80% of the 90+ sop in the game right now.

Don’t feel guilty. I have kept Gordon’s going for over 10 years. Without me the breed would have died. Apart from the odd player or too.
So don’t feel guilty we all do it at times lol

I understand...it's so hard because we want to keep the game going and try to revitalize the less popular breeds, but there are less and less players now. Even I'm not very active, I come back every few months and play hardcore for a while, then I get busy and forget to log in for a long time. It happens but it is hard to not be bummed about it. I was working on some less populated breeds for a while and eventually I had to FH them because I couldn't focus on multiple.

Think of it as a way for a natural reset for a breed.

I think those of us who have been around for a while go through that at some point. I know I have let a couple of breeds die, just the other day I went to breed a bitch (in another kennel) and there was no one to breed her to! Now what? I felt awful.
