Bitches in Season and Trials
Started By
I've competed in many agility venues for years now - AKC, UKC, USDAA, CPE, UKI, and TDAA. Except for a few rare cases, bitches in season cannot run in trials.
Already on ala, pregnant and ill dogs cannot compete. In order to make the game more realistic, I propose that we also prevent in-heat dogs from competing.
This would have a few benefits to the site as a whole. As it stands, the high-TP (think Monsters) trial dogs can be bred quite often, resulting in more of these dogs. If the females were unable to trial in heat, it would encourage the spaying of these dogs, and reduce the number of puppies flooding the site - I also know I see a lot of these dogs retired or pounded because the pups don't sell.
In addition, we have a major inflation problem. If a handler chose to keep their females intact, excluding items, they would be unable to trial one in six days. The goal would be for this to help increase the value of the Ala$, and start to bring inflation back down.
TL;DR, In order to make the game more realistic, decrease overpopulation of dogs, and improve the sitewide inflation, make bitches in season unable to trial.

I don't think the realistic factor matters really. We have magical items and fantasy animals. This site will never be all that realistic. <br /> <br /> I do agree with the idea because it only makes sense to me. There's no reason a dog in heat should be able to compete when a pregnant dog or ill dog can't. <br /> <br /> Support =)

I'm in complete agreement with this suggestion. This would bring a more realistic feel to Ala! You have my Support!
