I got my 12. BA 3 days ago <3


Pet's name: Killian

I'm super happy bout this bab, but I'm slowly getting to the point where I start asking myself "now what?''
I mean, I adore them, but I kinda feel odd about just letting them sit in a group, collecting dust. I have tried to spice them up with items, but I have no idea for a theme and it always end up like 'hnngh, nah.'
But the plain black fur invites to put some bright, colorful iems on it

Does someone here have a creative lil hoardies with fancy dress-ups, funny names or something like that?
I would love to take a look and maybe get some inspiration. <3

Congrats! That's a huge achievement. I have my peppermint buns dressed up fancy. I didn't try to go for a central theme, though I do often favor red/white items.

Must be one of my favourite hoards from others. *w* ♥

I have a question for my fellow hoarders. I have a few ex-hoards or just cut back the amount and ended up with quite a few extra outcomes, I'm trying to set up some groups for easy trading. I just hope I'm not wasting my time in doing this, I would like to hear what you think about it! Any suggestions on making my system better?

What I have so far is a "catalog" group with a single pet from each ex-hoard to showcase what is available, with the official name listed. So you don't have to click through 10 pages of the same outcome to see what I have.

Next I have the actual "collection" group with all of the pets available, they're grouped together pretty well since I don't think I have any overlapping dates. This group will be for 11+ of each outcome, and don't forget to add the one from the catalog!

And finally I have a "Booster" group for pets that maybe I have a lot of outcomes for or I changed my mind fairly quickly after hoarding, so 4-10 of each outcome and they won't be listed in the catalog. (I haven't gone through my trade group to add much to this group yet)

The sets would be strictly single outcomes, I won't be doing anything like "3 tailed dogs" or "pps" or entire litters.

What do you think? Is this something you would find helpful when trading for hoards or maybe when looking to start a new one? Feel free to use this idea yourself, and sorry if this has been brought up before. I thought it would be helpful to hear from hoarders!

I think so far it sounds pretty well organised. Personally I wouldn't use a catalogue group, but I'm also the type who'd go through 100 pages of pets to see what other people have... P:
(Because then I see how many of them they have, even if they're currently not on my wishlist)

Haha! Thank you, what if I were to add the number of each outcome on the pets name in the catalog? My only worry is if people would even use the groups, or go straight to the "pets on my wishlist" drop down and pull from there. I know thats what I do. But I've seen plenty of other people without hoards on their wl. Ooooh !! What if CS were to create another WL selection, a hoard button!! We could set goals and have counters *dreams*

I'm the type of person that 100% just goes to the 'pets on my wishlist group' and then goes through 100+ pages if needed. I have a small wishlist so just going through groups doesn't help me since people usually only have maybe a couple dozen or so of wishlist pets for me. I'd still go with a catalogue group and just mention it in your trade rules that way people know that it exists and can look there first.

Creeping Shadow is finally finished, with 2 full pages:


Oh, and number 14 has joined the Spectral gang ^^

I´m with Raire and Lady Kiba. I would also go through 100 pages of Wishlist ... well not 100, maybe 20, because I´m lazy, but I´m using that "Pets on your Wishlist" Feature quite regularly when I´m trading ^^
Would also recommoned to mention your Catalogue-Group in your Rules, if you don one :3

i just got this pup from a free adoption center and i fell in love! it's a '13 vc and i'm thinking about starting a hoard from it, do any of you guys know if other people have?

I used to have a hoard of this entire litter, but I decided I didn't like it enough so I disbanded it. I think I had well over 300 of the litter...if I have any extras of this guy left I'll send em your way! =^D

Here are my hoards if anyone would like to have a look! My favourite would have to be the angels, devils & maidens hoard.

Angels, Devils and Maidens Hoard!
