The official archive is now up and running, big thank you to our archivist Smokeyskies!

The Irish Shepherd is a medium sized, long and thick coated dog of sturdy but athletic structure. Taking roots from pastoral breeds like german shepherds and border collies and some mild influence from gun dogs like the flat coated retriever. Irish Shepherds are a popular choice for protecting and shepherding livestock along the coastal landscape where the winds are cold and harsh. In the modern age, these dogs fit well with most sports or farm homes.

coats will be based in real life genetics though events may deviate from these guidelines

Irish Shepherds have a set of stats that each shepherd is generated with and can increase them. Imports typically have a starting stat base of 70. Puppies will be within 10% of their parent's total stat range at the time of breeding.

Starting out - You'll want to get your first dog for your new kennel, you can do this by filling out the form below for an imported dog or winning an adopt!

What next? - With your first Irish Shepherd you will need to create a kennel storage to keep track of your dogs, their levels and achievements and any other relevant information! This Should be completed within a month of the import being posted otherwise your dog will be readopted. As long as you have a dog that can participate in activities you can compete in sports or competitions or go exploring!

How do I get more dogs? - By entering for adopts, winning or buying a custom import from staff with open slots or breeding two of your own dogs or a split litter between yours and another user's dogs. Occasionally stray dogs can be found from exploring or import tickets can be won from competitions or events.

How do I level up? - You can earn EXP by completing quests and prompts, exploring/competitions or participating in events. When you reach significant milestones you may be rewarded with items from the store.

if you have any questions please reach out! this page will be updated as everything fleshes out!

to get started with your first dog, just post this form on this forum! This is a one-time completely free founder, no import ticket required! Each account/user may only have one founder and you may not request another even if you trade the dog away.
