<strong>We should have a multiple dog sports and breeds. for example Show dogs should be show dogs Pit bulls aren't mean't for jumping though hoops. </strong><br /> <br /> -I agree that we should have more dog sporting events than just trial runs. I'd like to see rally, dock jumping, schutzhund, etc. It would bring more to do on the site and people can even specialize in certain dog sports. I don't believe it should be limited by breed. Sure, pits aren't the best for jumping through hoops but I think it'd be a mistake to leave breeds out of any of the dog sports on here. While pits aren't ideal, it is possible. <br /> <br /> <br /> <strong>We should have more breeds and mix breed dogs. Lets make this game fun.</strong> <br /> <br /> -New breeds are voted on and the art staff works to bring new dogs. We already have Great Danes being planned out in the future. Artists can only work so fast when they also have monthly items to create. So more breeds idea is already in progress and has been in progress since the site started. As for mixed breeds, what would it even add to the site? To create individual looks for mixes would be a nightmare as well as trying to combine the markings when breeding two different breeds together. If we wanted to go a different route and say that mixes can have the image of one of their parents, that even further devalues mutts because then they aren't adding anything to the game at all. I think however it is looked at, mutts will be a lose lose situation unless they are made generically and all share the same image and don't say what mix of mutt they are. If that happens, one image has to be decided to represent a category of dogs as different as snowflakes. No two snowflakes are alike. <br /> <br /> <strong>We should make the Newbie Breeder Organization part of the game, I'm helping new players so they won't quit! Please in this advice and for those who are reading this help me and post topics like this. Trust me the staff will notice.</strong><br /> <br /> -New players have lots of resources available to them. We have the newbie helper team, we have the issue hub, there is the pound where they can grab more dogs, and we have awesome players who set up their own type of organization of their own to help new players. I don't think there needs to be an official Newbie Breeder Organization. Not to mention, everyone starts off at the same point of the game and work up. Normally the hardest part of the game is understanding how it works, and like I said, we have a whole staff section devoted to helping new players =)

Borzois aren't agility dogs either, yet they are still breeds.<br /> Not all breeds are agility dogs but I bet they're added since players voted. Pits were added this way.<br /> Mixed breeds were suggested many times before and the issue with those are because of the amount if art it would need.<br /> We have the Professor and the newbie raffle, but not sure how active that is.
