Shift? Like... shifting letters?

Shifting the letters "dgxarxdb" by 9 gets you "uxorious" meaning "having or showing an excessive or submissive fondness for one's wife."

Hm...

Edit: Lacuna stated "You want it to be cryptic?" before the letters. As in, cryptography?
It was also meant to be the one adjective describing her pup

[Pansycat2]

letts shift them the other way maybe

@Schuyler

I went to check out the meaning of your name you gave, and found nothing. So I tried google translate (because its obviously not english and I also found nothing but the detected language was Afrikaans, an official language of South Africa. Im just wondering if this digging is going nowhere or not, could the design of your pet have something to do with animals native to South Africa?

Nope, nothing to do with Afrikaans or South Africa. :P You guys probably aren't going to figure out the meaning of the name on your own, as it's sort of an inside thing, so I'd personally recommend focusing on the other hints. I'll explain the name after I claim mine if y'all are still curious. c:

[Shobits]

I'd love to claim my pup. Maybe if you shift focus to my clues? ^^

A little free writing here as I try to decipher this clue.

Dgxarxdb - first the unedited letters

Ehybsyec - Shifted one letter next
Cfwzqwca - Shifted one letter earlier

1234567890
QWERTYUIOP
ASDFGHJKL
ZXCVBNM

Ersq4seg - Shifted one letter above the keyboard rows
Fhcstcfn - Shifted one letter right keyboard rows
Shifting to the left undo-able with that A.
Shifting one row down undo-able with the X and B

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
ZYXWVUTSRQPONMLKJIHGFEDCBA

Wtczicwy - reversed the alphabet

I am not seeing any words! Am I overthinking this?

*takes a little break*

[Burrito Bunny]

Does anyone have a master post of what pups have been claimed?

Check the hint chart, we try to keep it as updated as we can! ^^

@Lacuna

Dgxarxdb

Okay with the shifting hint, and the confirmation that the word is a single word with eight letters.

I got absolutely nothing. (:

By searching this;
Wzqtkqwu
That is a shifted form of Dgxarxdb.

Then the word uxorius came up, a letter away from uxorious which is also a shifted form of Dgxarxdb.


Maybe something to do with Caesar cipher, Julius Caesar or maybe a pet dressed like this:

Time to make some blind guesses on which is Lacunas.
Maybe you could tell us if it's grown into the third stage yet? :')

[22tabby]

Would any staff like to tell us if their pup has more stages than just the three? I obviously know that one does, but I'm curious how many will grow several times<3

[KittayKattz]

So sometimes i look at something and something completely random (or not-so random) pops into my head.

Took a look at this doggo and immediately thought of Nadine. Actually, if you compare it to her staffie last year...

There are definitely a lot of similarities- the swirl on the shoulder, the facial markings, and the wings.
EDIT: The ears are also the same! Thought I may be wrong, I haven't looked at the hints.

Putting this back out there.
Have we nailed down any sun hints yet that we could connect to this? Or do any of the pups look like obsessive/submissive husbandos?
