Amaretto Breedables Customer Connection

Hey everyone its a wonderful Thursday here at the ranch! I wanted to take a few moments to talk about some of the silliest things ive heard.
There is a class at the ARU that you can take called Myth Busters!

Id say the most myths I hear about are breeding for Specialty coats!

Did you know that it doesn’t matter if your siblings are 1st or 50th Generation they have the same chance of getting an albino? Its true!

Lets talk about Charmed/Enchanted/Exotic animals! The DOS of any of these do not hold any magic or special chances at getting another! So it doesn’t matter if Mom, Gramma, or Auntie was a charmed!

This is one I am really passionate about is “pure” horses. Some breeders choose to market their bundles, kennels or nest as pure. Ok first whats a pure horse? Well lets talk about what a pure horse is, a pure horse would mean that the hidden traits and the ones you see on the horse in world are exactly the same! So just because you breed two white walkers together doesn’t mean you get a pure white walker bundle, its hidden could be a tawny meck from great gramma. So please be careful labeling and purchasing things that say “pure”.

Another one that REALLY gets my goat is that the same people get the good stuff, or only big breeders get the good stuff. Well let me break it down for you the server (computer for those who don’t know) pick which traits and coats you get. So that means josie, jason, tm, jaymee or myself arent sitting on the other end handing out what we think people should get! Who would have enough time to do that anyways do you know how many bundles drop everyday?

That brings me to my last myth. How many times has someone told you if you want a eye to pass to breed it to a white eye? Or if you want a coat to pass breed it to a weak coat. This is absolutely not true! There are no “weak” or “strong” breeds or traits it all has to do with the lineage! Say it with me it all has to do with the linage! Got it?

Well these are just a few myths that I hear often. If you would like me to address one you have heard send me a note card and I will!
I hope that i have helped you understand how breeding works just a little bit better! This is ava over and out!

Hello everyone! Its another Terrific Tuesday! Since everyone liked my connection on the sound explorer last week I thought I would do one on how to use the area search!

There might be a couple reasons you want to use the area search feature!
Maybe you lost your favorite breedable and can’t find it where you left it! Or you wanna figure out who all has objects out on your sim or parcel!

You can find the area search under world> area search if you are using the firestorm viewer!

There are several different options that you can include in your search so you can check the ones you want to include in your search.

In this example im searching for all objects owned by Avalon Crystal on this sim.
As you see here Ive just put in my name and hit search!

Viola!
You will see a whole list of objects that I own on this sim!

You can right click on any object and see the following information and options.

This is a very handy tool it has many different search options as I showed before so it could be Owner, Object Name, Description, Group, Creator, or Last Owner.

I have found all kinds of crazy things people have left behind at markets that i frequent, so try it out and see what you find! I hope that I have taught a few of you something new about second life! This is Ava over and out!

Happy Saturday Amaretto! So, I wasn’t sure if everyone knew about this so, thought I would write a quick connection about it. During the weekdays, here in sl, we have set up office hours for some of our staff. What does this mean? It means that there will be staff members available at the horse main store through out the day to help in any way they can. We have placed online boards there as well so that our community can see who is online and available. So watch for the staff in the group each day as they will announce when they are doing their office hours so you can come on down and chat or ask for assistance. Spread the word, we are here to help! Happy Breeding!

Hey everyone its Thursday already can you believe it we have all survived another week! I wanted to take some time to talk about something I was asked earlier this morning.

How can you find a specific horse with sounds on in a sea of horses?

Well what I would do is throw out my G.P.S. and use it to turn all sound off on every horse I own on the sim.

But, what if it is not a horse you own? A partners, renters, or fellow breeder?

Well one thing I always do when working on the market sims I attend is open your sound explorer!

To get to the sound explorer using the Firestorm viewer just go to world> sound explorer
It should look something like this:

Here is a list on all the sounds I have heard recently!
You can see here that I currently hear a sound from an object that Josaphine Cooperstone owns!

Now I know where the sound is coming from I can easily track it down by using the Look At button. This will zoom you in on the object that is making the current sound! Now you know what is making the sound and exactly where it is at.

This can be used on any object not just breedables! I hope that i have shed a little light on how to track down sounds inside of secondlife! Remember if your breedable is at a market sim proper etiquette is to turn off all sounds, animations, and movement!

This is Ava over and out! Happy breeding everyone!

Happy Wednesday to the Amaretto community! We are half way through through this week and I hope that you are all having a great one! Today I wanted to take a moment to touch bases on a great trait available on the Amaretto K-9! I’m talking about the cute little nose traits! You can take the different color noses and mix them in to your current breeding projects and make them that much better.  Take a look below at the different nose traits available to date for the K-9. Keep in mind that these nose traits do have a chance at passing!

The Normal K-9 nose

The Black Spotted, Pale, Liver Spotted, Liver nose trait comes from breeding “Starter Coats” together or 1 starter with any other K-9.

Pumpkin and Blueberry noses came from breeding the 2013 Holiday K-9s.

The Cherry, Grape, and Coconut noses came from the 2014 Valentine Special Edition K-9

Happy K-9 nose breeding!

Until next time….

Hello everyone its a Terrific Tuesday here on the ranch! I wanted to take a moment to talk to you all about your responsibility as an Amaretto Breeder to be educated!

What am I talking about? Well knowing what is a fact from what is a rumor!
Alot of times you may go to an auction and here an auctioneer say something like this is pure or this is next months special eye, or even these new LE’s are going to give us yellow leather saddles!

Most of this time these are rumors these are people that are speculating on what we might do. Now im not saying that you cant guess Amaretto’s next move because it is possible to do if you look at our past releases you may think you know the next thing to come! However that does not mean that you are right and should share your opinions as facts! Because just when you think you got us all figured out we will change it up! We do this to keep things exciting!

So when you hear someone say well someone at Amaretto told me that we are getting Argyle ears! Unless you can confirm it on our website or in a notice that we have sent DONT believe them because it is only speculation or rumor!

This rumor mill in the Amaretto community is always hard at work, If i told you all the rumors i have heard in my day this connection would be pages and pages long!

It makes me sad to think that people believe we would give information or certain “breeders” and advantage over others. That isn’t our style nor would we benefit from it! So next time you hear someone say well i was told that Amaretto is gonna make breedable rats! You can go thats crazy I didn’t see if on their website.

If you ever have questions if something is true or not ask in the main group there are always plenty of people there and they love to debunk rumors going around!

This is Ava over and out! Happy breeding everyone!
