Category : K9 Information

Go Fetch!

Today I would like to take a moment to talk to you about the K9 HUD. I will go over how to use this HUD and the fun things you can do with your K9 while using the HUD. While the K-9 is attached to the HUD they receive a boost in Happiness. This happiness boost will increase as long as the K9 stays attached to the HUD.

Let’s first talk about where and how you can get a K9 HUD. To get a HUD simply do the following:

  1. Click on any of your Amaretto K-9s and that will bring up the main menu.
  2. On the menu you will see a Help Button
  3. Click this button and you will get another menu that has a button on it labeled HUD.
  4. After clicking the HUD button you will receive a K-9 HUD in the objects folder in your inventory.
  5. Go to the objects folder and find the K9 HUD
  6. Right click it and select wear. It will attach to the upper left hand side of your screen. (This can adjust this if you wish.)

Next let me cover using the HUD:

  • Wear the HUD – It will attach to your screen in the upper left corner
  • Touch the K-9 you want to interact with and chose HUD from the Blue Menu
  • Touch the Connect button on the HUD – It will confirm in local which K-9 is connected to the HUD
  • Now you can choose to have your K-9 do one of the activities listed on the HUD

Come, Stay, Follow

Next let me cover the buttons on the HUD:

  • Connect – This button lets you chose what K-9 you want to interact with
  • Disconnect – This button disconnects the current K-9 from the HUD
  • Follow – the K-9 will follow your avatar
  • Come – The K-9 will walk to your avatar and then sit near you
  • Stay – This will cause the K-9 to sit and stay in its current location
  • Get Ball – This button will send a ball to your objects folder for use with the Fetch button
  • Fetch – This button needs to be activated before you can throw the ball and have your K-9 go get it for you

K9_HUD_Labeled-300x232

To play Fetch with the K-9 using the HUD

  • Click the Get Ball button – This will send a ball to your objects
  • Wear the Ball – it will attach to your hand
  • Click Ball to set range for the distance at which the ball will be thrown. You can chose from 20, 40, 60, or 100 meters.
  • Click the Fetch button on your HUD
  • You will see the mouse look button at the bottom of your screen click that to go into mouse look
  • Aim where you want to throw the ball and left click your mouse to throw the ball
  • Your K-9 will run and retrieve the ball and bring it back to you as you will see it back in your hand and you can throw it again and again while your K-9 retrieves it for you.

Once you are done interacting with your K-9 via the HUD or you want to play with a different K-9 click the Disconnect button. This will disconnect your K-9 from the HUD and reset Home position where the K-9 is located at the time it disconnects.

So it’s time to play with those K9s and get their happiness rising!

Until next time….

Happy Wednesday Everyone! Hope everyone is having a good breeding day!

This Wednesday i would like to touch a little on Amaretto Horse Haven, Puppy Paradise and Bird Sanctuary.

Well let’s start with Amaretto Horse Haven. First let’s remember this ONCE A HORSE IS SENT TO HORSE HAVEN IT IS UNRECOVERABLE.
When you want to send your horse to haven , you simply click the horse when menu comes down you click on settings then click on horse haven, then you will have to confirm that you want to send this horse to haven. Remember once a horse has been sent to haven it can’t be reversed.
When sending a horse to haven you will receive points for age and traits.
You will also receive Horse Cents to send in the vendor that is at all the Amaretto horse stores and at Amaretto Horse Haven.
Let’s move on to Amaretto Puppy Paradise. Remember this also with the K-9’s ONCE A K-9 IS SENT TO PUPPY PARADISE IT IS UNRECOVERABLE
When you decide to send your K-9 to puppy paradise you would do the same as you do with the horses. Click on settings then Puppy Paradise, and then confirm that this is what you want to do.
When sending a K-9 to Puppy Paradise you will receive Points for traits an age of the K-9. You will also receive Kennel Cash to send at the vendors in all Amaretto K-9 stores and at Amaretto Puppy Paradise.

Last we have the Amaretto Bird Sanctuary. Remember this also with the Barnyard Birds ONCE A BIRD IS SENT TO BIRD SANCTUARY IT IS UNRECOVERABLE.
How to send your Barnyard Bird to Sanctuary you would simply click the barnyard bird then click settings then click on Bird Sanctuary then you will have to confirm that is what you want to do.
The Bird Sanctuary will reward you with the Henny Penny for age and traits.

You can spend these Henny Penny rewards at any vendors located at the Amaretto Birds Stores an also on the Barnyard Bird Vendors on the Amaretto Haven Sim.

So be sure this is what you want to do when sending Amaretto Breedables to Haven, Paradise or Sanctuary because there is no turning back after sending them!
They are gone cannot be recoverable even if it is sent by accident so think about it before you hit send!
Until next Wednesday! Happy Breeding!

Happy Wednesday Everyone !

I wanted to talk to you a little bit about doing tickets. First off I will tell you where to go to sign up if you need to file a ticket. Go to this Website
http://support.amarettobreedables.com/index.php

This is where you can create a new account or log in on your account.

You may have a missing, duplicated , or broken breedable you may even have a suggestion this is where you would go to get a ticket in so the CSR can repair or replace your breedable.

You have to check your ticket periodically for a response. You might be asked to please send your breedable in a folder with your name an ticket number doing so will ensure that you will have your breedable sent back in a timely fashion.

Sometimes you may have a missing breedabled, it is best to send the UUID or Name of the missing breedable in the ticket it helps the CSR’s to get your breedable back to you as quickly as possible.

Please do remember to be nice in your ticket as the CSRs are here to help you with your Amaretto breedables.

Please remember this :
ABUSIVE BEHAVIOR OF ANY KIND WILL NOT BE TOLERATED AND YOUR TICKET WILL BE CLOSED WITH POSSIBLE LOSS OF SUPPORT PRIVILEGES.

Until Next Week Happy Breeding Everyone !

Howdy all and Happy Thursday! Today I am going to talk to you about Charmed Horses, Enchanted K9s, and Exotic Birds! Below I am going to take a moment to go over Charmed, Enchanted, and Exotics.

Let’s first start with Exotic Birds! Exotic Birds are rare and special Birds! These Exotic Birds will give a gradual boost to the Vivacity of birds within 10 meters over a period of time. These special birds can be born at random through any Barnyard Bird breeding or they can randomly be found in the starter packs! These amazing Exotics do not pass their eye or coat and the non-Exotic offspring of an Exotic does not increase the chance for producing another Exotic. However, when you breed an Exotic to an Exotic, you do have an increased chance at getting another Exotic!

Here is a list of the current Exotics:

  • Egghead
  • Rubber Chicken
  • Robotic

Next, let’s cover the Enchanted K9s! These Enchanted K9 can be born at random through any K9 breeding. These special K9 do not pass their eye or coat and the non-Enchanted offspring of an Enchanted does not increase the chance for producing another Enchanted. However, when you breed an Enchanted to an Enchanted, you do have an increased chance at getting another Enchanted!

Here is a list of the current Enchanted K9s:

  • Enchanted Anubis
  • Enchanted Pixie Yorkie
  • Enchanted Blood Thirsty Beagle
  • Enchanted Hell Hound

And last but certainly not least are the Charmed Horses! These Charmed Horses can be born at random through any Horse breeding. These mesmerizing Horse do not pass their eye or coat and the non-Charmed offspring of a Charmed does not increase the chance for producing another Charmed. However, when you breed a Charmed to a Charmed, you do have an increased chance at getting another Charmed!

Here is a list of the current Charmed Horses.

  • Charmed Pegacorn – Out to Pasture
  • Charmed Pegasus – Out to Pasture
  • Charmed Unicorn – Out to Pasture
  • Charmed Robo Unicorn – Out to Pasture
  • Charmed Demon Horse – Out to Pasture
  • Charmed Nightmare Clydesdale
  • Charmed Flutter Love Shetland – Monarch
  • Charmed Flutter Love Shetland – Blue Morpho
  • Charmed Flutter Love Shetland – Purple Emperor
  • Charmed Zebra Black
  • Charmed Zebra Brown
  • Charmed Rainbow Zebra White
  • Charmed Rainbow Zebra Black
  • Charmed Ladybug Shetland
  • Charmed Molten Fell Pony
  • Charmed Inferno Demon
  • Charmed Artic Demon

 

This list includes “Out to Pasture” Charmed Horses. This mean these Charmed Horses will no longer be born on the grid.

I hope this opened your eyes to one of the many special things that can come of breeding Amaretto Ranch Breedables! Keep your eyes open for when you are least expecting it, you could end up with an amazing find!

Until next time…

Hey Everyone it’s Wednesday ! Hoping you having a good breeding day !

Hey all let’s take a ride on the Reading Railroad ! LOL

Do you read ? The Manual that come in the boxs with your new breedables ? There is really alot of information there !

Well lets take a look at the Horse Manual

This manual will give you the basics on how to start breeding your own Amaretto Horses.
First read these items below about the horses, they will help with future questions:
****DO NOT OPEN THE BABYBUNDLE YOU WILL BREAK IT! ****
*To get started, rez a BabyBundle you purchased from your inventory on the ground. Click the bundle and select the “birth” option to rez your new baby horse, foal. Your new little foal has a default range of 5 meters from “home” which is the spot where you birthed them. To move your foal just select edit and move, or the foal can be taken into inventory and re-rezed to the new location. To set home position in the future click the foal/horse, select settings, set home. Home position does set automatically on rez when you re-rez a horse. The Range is set in Meters and is the radius of a circle with the home point as the center. (The Radius of a circle is measured from the center to its edge)

**THERE IS NO TIMER ON THE BABYBUNDLE THEY DO NOT EXPIRE**

*The foal will get a little bigger each day until it reaches full maturity at age 7 (days). When they reach maturity the fervor will start to rise as long as the happiness is above 75%. Once the fervor reaches 100% they will be able to mate.

* Pregnancy lasts for 3 days. After having the “bundle” it takes 4 days for the female to recover, then 2-3 days for it to get back 100% fervor. The male recovers immediately and begins to gain fervor.

*You can ride your horse once it reaches age 7. To ride you horse first turn off movement on the horse you want to ride, take them into your inventory. Wear your horse from your inventory. In the horses menu you can choose the animation you would like and height adjustment. Your horse will gain happiness while you ride but will also tire faster. Once the energy gets to zero it will detach from you and go back to your inventory. You will need to rez the horse so it can sleep and gain energy back before riding again.
*Please DO NOT send horses, notecards or instant messages to the Amaretto staff or the creator the ONLY way we will be able to assist you is if you file a ticket on the support site. http://support.amarettobreedables.com/

If your Salt licks read 0%!!
Check the description field of the salt lick. Right click and choose edit. You will see something that looks like:
42: Owner Only
The 42 is the number of “licks” left. The hover text may display wrong but the description field is what is important.
As of Update 3.2 Salt licks now have an on/off switch so they can be turned off when not needed by your horses.

****REMEMBER TO RESET HOME POSITION IF YOU EDIT MOVE YOUR HORSE
****IT IS BEST TO RE-REZ YOUR HORSE NEXT TO THE FOOD INSTEAD OF EDITING IT OVER
Terms:

Charmed – Special/Rare Horses
Foal – Baby horse
Dam – The mother of the horse
Sire – The father of a horse
BabyBundle – Hay bale/Crate with foal inside waiting to be born.
Coat – Coat type/color
Fervor – LOVE!!!! (100% needed to breed)
Birth – Rez foal from BabyBundle
Pairing – Having two specific horses breed with each other only
Recovery – Waiting period between pregnancies
Retire – At approximately 120 days old the horse will no longer breed.
Forever Foal – Once your horse retires at the age of 120 you may purchase a Forever Foal certificate and have your retired horse fixed so it will never require food again.

Well we won’t go into the consumables but they are listed in there also !
Please be sure to read over the manual that comes in with the breedables it is very helpful .

Today I want to talk about why it is important to send your breedables in to us in folders with your name and ticket number on the folder when you need to have them repaired.

 

First check out your own inventory, look in the objects category. I’m sure you have some items there. If you drop an item to someone, this is where the item usually goes.so when we log on and look in that folder we see that obviously someone has sent us something, we are not sure what or why so then we get a surprise that usually ends up in causing us confusion.

 

. Now think about all the breedables that get sent to me and the other CSR’s everyday. If they are not sent in the folders like we requested, they may end up lost and in the trash., because without a folder labeled with your name and ticket number, we will have no way of know who the items belong to.So the two most important items to put on the folder is your ticket number and your SL name.

.

Now creating a folder is easy

1. right click (or command click if your using a mac) in either the My Inventory folder or another folder (like the Objects folder)

2. click New Folder then under the folder you clicked on, a New Folder will be created and ready to rename with your name and ticket number.

3. Right click on the folder and select Rename, now rename the folder with your ticket number and your SL name.

4. Once you are done changing the name it will fall in order with the other folders and be ready to add your inventory to it.

5.. After you have placed the horses / K-9s/ barnyard birds, bundles / kennels / nests and any additional information you can add for the ticket pull our name up in search and drag the folder over to us and we will get it (even if we are off-line!) and we will respond in your ticket if more information is needed or if no info is needed you will have your fixed breedable sent back in the folder that will say Amaretto Breedables from CSR NAME -REPAIRED

 

You do NOT need to send a note card separately or an instant message to the CSR. If you do instant message a CSR have your ticket ID on hand, we talk to so many people when you randomly message we have no idea who you are.

 

Below are the ticket guidelines

 

• ABUSIVE BEHAVIOR OF ANY KIND WILL NOT BE TOLERATED AND YOUR TICKET WILL BE CLOSED WITH POSSIBLE LOSS OF SUPPORT PRIVILEGES.

• PLEASE put both your full SL First name and Last name (if you do not have a last name put resident) in the ticket do NOT use display names

•All communication MUST be in the ticket. CSRs will not respond to in world IMs or Note cards! To ensure your ticket is resolved as quick as possible, Please keep ALL responses/communications in your ticket.

•Tickets may take 48-72 hours to get a response from the support team, please have patience.

•Do not respond to the emails, we do not get those, you must respond inside the ticket itself for us to see the response.

•No response to tickets from the user in 3 days and the ticket will be closed.

•Do not wait to be contacted inworld regarding your ticket. Please log in and check for responses to your tickets.

•Please do not file multiple tickets for the same issue, it only slows things down and the duplicate tickets will be closed.

•Refrain from refreshing your page on the ticket system, it will duplicate your tickets

•You must be the owner of the horse/bundle, K-9/kennel and Barnyard Bird/Nest to file a ticket. Please do not file tickets for others.

•Please include any pertinent information regarding your ticket/issue this will help expedite your ticket through faster.

•BE SURE TO GIVE AS MUCH INFORMATION ABOUT THE BUNDLE/HORSE KENNEL/K-9/BARNYARD BIRD/NEST AS POSSIBLE AS THIS WILL HELP SPEED THINGS UP

Today I am going to talk to you about keeping your Horses and K9s happy! I will briefly cover each breedable and how to keep those animals smiling!

Let me start out by saying Happiness in your Horses and K9s pertains to breeding only. If you do not intend on breeding your animals they do not have to be happy.

Ok now on to keeping them happy…

Let’s first start with horses….

The most convenient way to raise a horse’s happiness and keep it up is using Salt Licks. The Salt Lick helps to increase the happiness of the horse. It can be used when you are trying to increase the Fervor of the horse for breeding. The Salt Lick gives a 1% increase in happiness over time. One Salt Lick last 2 horses 2 weeks.

To use a Salt Lick

1. Open boxed Salt Lick and rez close to the horses you wish to increase the happiness. For the horses to use the Salt Lick it needs to be within their set range, just as the food and water is.

2. Click the Salt Lick to set options for Owner only, Group only, or All.

  • Owner only: Will only be consumed by the owners horses.
  • Group only: Will only be consumed by horses in the same group as the Salt Lick is set to.
  • All: Any horse within range of the Salt Lick will be able to consume it.

Once the Salt Lick has been completely consumed it will disappear.

The other way to increase a horse’s happiness is to ride a horse. Riding a horse is not only an enjoyable time for you but it is always a great way to increase the happiness on your horse. Please make note that even though it does raise your horse’s happiness, your horse also tires easier. Your horse must age 7 and above to ride your horse.

 

Ok, let’s move on to keeping those K9 happy!

The most convenient way to raise a K9’s happiness and keep it up is using Chew Toys. The Chew Toys help to increase the happiness of the K9. It can be used when you are trying to increase the Heat of the horse for breeding. The Chew Toy gives a 1% increase in happiness over time. One Chew Toy last 2 K9s 2 weeks.

To use a Chew Toy

  1. Open boxed Amaretto Brand Chew Toy and rez close to the K-9’s you wish to increase the happiness. For the K-9’s to use the Amaretto Brand Chew Toy it needs to be within their set range, just as the food and water is.
  2. Click the Amaretto Brand Chew Toy to set options for Owner only, Group only, or All.
  • Owner only: Will only be consumed by the owners K-9’s.
  • Group only: Will only be consumed by K-9’s in the same group as the Amaretto Brand Chew Toy is set to.
  • All: Any K-9 within range of the Amaretto Brand Chew Toy will be able to consume it.

Once the Amaretto Brand Chew Toy has been completely consumed it will disappear.

You can also increase your K9s happiness by playing with your K9. To play with your K9 it must be connected to the K9 HUD. While the K-9 is attached to the HUD they receive a boost in Happiness. This is an incremental increase that will rise as long as the K-9 stays attached to the HUD.

To use the K9 HUD

1.Wear the HUD – It will attach to your screen in the upper left corner

2.Touch the K-9 you want to interact with and chose HUD from the Blue Menu

3.Touch the Connect button on the HUD – It will confirm in local which K-9 is connected to the HUD

4.Now you can choose to have your K-9 do one of the activities listed on the HUD

Come, Stay, Follow

 

I hope this helps make you and your Horse and K9s happy! Until next time…. Happy Breeding!

Howdy yall and Happy Thursday!

Do you have a retired horse with sentimental value? Do you want to keep that special spayed or neutered K9 until the end of time? Well I have the answer for you! Forever Foal and Perpetual Puppy! The Forever Foal makes a Retired horse so that it will not require food anymore and the Perpetual Puppy make a Spayed/Neutered K9 so that it will not require food any more. The horse and/or K9 will still function as a normal retired horse or spayed/neutered K9 would. The hover text will read “pet” after they have been turned into a Perpetual Puppy or Forever Foal. Sounds awesome, doesn’t it? Let me point out some important information to make the redemption process go smooth.

Important Information for the Forever Foals:

Forever Foal certificates can be purchased at any Amaretto Horse store locations

You will need ONE certificate per ONE horse you would like to Forever Foal

You can only use the certificate for a Retired horse (120 days and older)

Once a horse has been turned into a Forever Foal it is permanent and cannot be reversed.

Only the person who purchases the certificate can redeem it.

Redemption Instructions:

Please place the Certificate in a folder named “Forever Foal <your sl name>” with the Retired horse you wish to be your Forever Foal. Send the folder to Jaymee Caproni. Jaymee will work her magic and return the horse to you in a folder named “Forever Foal from Jaymee Caproni”

Important Information for the Perpetual Puppy:

Perpetual Puppy  certificates can be purchased at any Amaretto K9 store locations

You will need ONE certificate per ONE K9 you would like to Perpetual Puppy

You can only use the certificate for a Spayed or Neutered K9 (126 days and older)

Once a K9 has been turned into a Perpetual Puppy  it is permanent and cannot be reversed.

Only the person who purchases the certificate can redeem it.

Redemption Instructions:

Please place the Certificate in a folder named “Perpetual Puppy  <your sl name>” with the Spayed/Neutered K9  you wish to be your Perpetual Puppy. Send the folder to Jaymee Caproni. Jaymee will work her magic and return the K9 to you in a folder named “Perpetual Puppy from Jaymee Caproni”

 

I hope this is helpful information and please remember, The Perpetual Puppy and The Forever Foal is an OPTION…. If you do not want to purchase it, you do not have to. You can continue to feed your Spayed/Neutered K-9s and Retired Horses pet food as this option has not changed.

Until next Thursday…..
