Training bias and shows
- Aussies in Agility: feed for speed, train and show in Agility biased for speed.
- Aussies in Herding: feed for stamina, train and show in Herding biased for stamina.
- Spaniels: feed for Charisma, train and show in Field Trials.
- Show: 1st choice biased, 2nd choice low entries.
- Enter 20 $ or 50 $ shows.
- Create 500 $ shows.
Biased shows:
- Bias definitely levels better (higher, quicker) in the long run.
- Unbiased more than likely earns better (especially if you stick to game created shows).
- If you want to maximize your dog's bias and don't want to take the time to manually enter them, choose a common bias for your sport. Speed for racing, stamina for hunting, etc.
- Regardless if the bias of the show is the same as the one you raise, you still get a higher base score than non biased shows. So even if the bias doesn't match, you will still get a higher score than non biased shows.
- I bias all of my dogs, and I'd have to say that it does make a difference. I only hand-enter some of my dogs, the other I just choose bias as the first preference and then the second preference for least entries.
- Placing a biased dog into any biased show, regardless of bias, the dog will do better than a non-biased show. However, if the dog is entered in the show with the bias the dog is on, it will do even better than that.
- Some shows do seem to have more shows with a certain bias to them. To find out which bias seems to be the most popular, when you enter your dogs, go to advanced shows and select first preference as bias and then it doesn't matter about the second. You'll be able to see the stats that are the most popular, and maybe that will help you out!
- But showing for bias is definitely the way to go, if you're looking to level. If you're looking to make money then enter the un-biased shows.
Litter size:
- lala --> 9-12 puppies
- LL, Ll, Lla --> 4-8 puppies
- ll, lla --> 1-3 puppies
Aptitude:
"Sport aptitude genetics use homozygous recessive genes to give your dog an aptitude for a particular sport. More specifically, for every sport on Furry-Paws, each dog has a corresponding set of 4 gene pairs that controls whether or not the dog has an aptitude in that sport. At least one of those pairs needs to be homozygous recessive in order for the dog to display an aptitude for that particular sport. Due to the hidden nature of the genes, it can be quite easy to accidentally breed out an aptitude. Just because two dogs have an aptitude for one sport, doesn't mean the gene pair that has activated that aptitude will line up between the two dogs when you breed them !"
"The more recessive pairs you have in the 4 gene pair set for a specific sport, the higher the aptitude your dog has for that particular sport and, in general, the better it will perform over lifetime in that sport."
"As aptitudes require recessive genetics to work, this means that puppies in a litter may end up with sports that NEITHER parent show an aptitude for. It also means that even if both parents have one sport in common, the puppies might not have that sport as an aptitude at all! This leaves the possibility that, at some point, you will breed a puppy that has no aptitude for any sport."

COLOR GENETICS
Stunning Spaniels
Black based : Ee/EE - Bb/BB
Red based : ee - CC/Cch
Clever Cockers :
Fawn : ee - cchcch
Chocolate based : Ee/EE - bb
Project "Tiger" pattern
- KbrKbr EE BB DD slsl AyAy SS mm rr tt CC gg uu
Project "Blue Eyed Black"
- Aim for "yy" in first locus (blue eye color)
- Aim for "KK EE BB DD slsl xxxx SS mm rr tt xxxx gg uu" (solid black)
"xxxx" --> whatever the genes, a black "KK" dog will not have those colors/patterns/modifiers.
Project Roan
- Goal is to have as much roaning as possible, so ideally roan combined with Extreme piebald: RR and swsw.
- Roaning can ONLY appear when the seventh locus does NOT start with "S." In other words, they only appear on whited areas.
- Pair #9: There are two alleles in the ninth pair, controlling roaning. "R" is the most dominant, causing the roan pattern to appear on the whited areas of a dog. The "r" allele does no modification to the white areas.
- Pair #7: controls the appearance of white patterns. The most dominant allele is "S" and causes a dog to have no white markings. "si" is the second most dominant in the set, causing "Irish" markings. "sp" is the third most dominant, creating a "Piebald" dog. Finally, "sw" is the least dominant allele, causing the "Extreme Piebald" whiting when appearing homozygously in a dog "swsw".
