I have an open breeding policy. I feel it is not my place to tell you how to play the game, and you will only get places if you have access to quality breeding partners. I price dogs at level x100 (every 5 levels) +(# of HHs - # of hhs) / 2 x 1000 . To ensure quality, dogs are available no earlier than level 10. Females are removed from public breeding at age 75. My dogs are bred at ages 87 and 100.
Usually, I will have reserve puppies available. This is the second best breeding quality dog of the litter, though if you want a specific puppy other than the one I have for reserve, please message me. Sometimes, if the litter does not produce an improvement of quality from a specified parent, I will put two puppies for reserve. Other times, such as I have two equal pick of the litters, or a puppy with better show quality than the pick of the litter, I will not have reserves. They will all carry my prefix, unless you are the owner of the stud dog I used for that litter, in which case you may request the puppy carry your prefix. I ask that you bid at minimum (# of HHs - # of hhs)/2 x500 for any puppy.
Very rarely will I have dogs for sale, prices are usually negotiable.
