Delightful Dalmatians!

Happy Hump Day Breeders!

In honor of Fire Pup Day, which is tomorrow October 1st, today’s spotlight is on the adorable, delightful Dalmatians! The Dalmatian is a breed of large-sized dog, noted for its unique white coat marked with black or liver-colored spots.

Their use in firehouses began during the 1700s. Originally trained as carriage dogs, Dalmatians were often chosen by firehouses over other dogs as they not only calmed the horses, but had incredible endurance, were very loyal, and had loud barks. This was key in the early days of fire carriages as the small pack of dogs that would run beside the carriages was also used as a sort of siren to warn pedestrians that a carriage was coming and they needed to clear a path. Long after the red engines replaced horse-drawn wagons, the Dalmatian remains a recognizable tradition in fire stations across the country.

Amaretto Loves Dalmatians!

As part of Amaretto’s Paradise Puppy reward system, when you send your K-9s or kennels to Puppy Paradise you will receive a number of points based on the number of traits and age for a particular K-9. Once you have accumulated enough points (250,000), you can use these points to purchase a unique K-9 Paradise Puppy.

The K-9 Paradise Puppy Dalmatian comes in random gender and these random coats: Black/White, Liver/White, and Rainbow/White Dalmatians. Paradise Puppy Dalmatians are NOT able to pass their coats.

These unique K-9s DO have the ability to pass their eyes (depending on the coat you receive) Paradise Spotted Black, Paradise Spotted Liver, and Paradise Spotted Rainbow.

When you breed a Paradise Puppy (whether it is with another Paradise Puppy or any other K-9) you DO have an increased chance at receiving a random Enchanted K-9. It should be noted that the non-Enchanted offspring of Paradise Puppies do NOT have an increased chance of producing Enchanted K-9s.

Start collecting points today and get a Paradise Puppy Dalmatian for your very own!

Until next time…HAPPY BREEDING!

Dazzle Horses!

Hello everyone its another Manic Monday!

Today I wanted to take a look at the amazing Dazzle Horses. These horses are absolutely gorgeous and very special.

On September 1, 2015 Amaretto released the Dazzle horses!

On October 7,2016 Amaretto released new starters in version 5.5 there were new hidden Dazzle Horses Ruby, Peridot, Opal, Turquoise, and Pearl Dazzle Horses.

https://horse.amaretto.wiki/index.php?title=Dazzle_Horses

Dazzle Horses can only come by breeding a male and female with Dazzle eyes together.

The Dazzle eyes can be viewed on the wiki at the following links:
http://wiki.amarettobreedables.com/index.php?title=Dazzle_Eyes
http://wiki.amarettobreedables.com/index.php?title=Dazzle_HeartShine_Eyes
http://wiki.amarettobreedables.com/index.php?title=Dazzle_StarShine_Eyes

They do NOT have to be the same Dazzle Eyes to have a chance at getting one of these randomly dropped coats.


The Saddles that come with each amazing Dazzle coat are specific to their coat and they do have the ability to pass. That’s right you heard it correct these beautiful new Saddles DO have the ability to pass!! Dazzle Horses can NOT pass their coat. However breeding a Dazzle Horse with another Dazzle Horse or with any other horse with Dazzle Eyes you will slightly increase your chance for another Dazzle Horse.

So good luck getting one of these awesome horses!

Happy breeding everyone! This is Ava over and out!

To Hold or To Walk. THAT is The Question

We all know that salt/chew toys/orange rings/lettuce and gummies raise the happiness in our Amaretto breedables. But what happens if they run out or we are low on funds to get more? Is there any other way? YESSS! Thanks to the Amaretto scripters we have an easy way to raise the happiness on all the breedables. With horses you can ride them. Now this doesn’t mean you have to go anywhere, you can just stand in place with the horse attached, by picking it up and ADDING it from inventory as long as it is awake. In fact, you can add quite a lot of horses at once to raise their happiness. When i was on Phoenix viewer this was hilarious, as they all had to attach to separate spots on the avatar.

Now on the Firestorm viewer they all attach to the stomach, so the colors can overlap each other. It makes for some interesting pictures. Here I am wearing a Deep Sea LE and a sizzling red walker. Remember horses need to be at least 7 days old to add.

To raise the K9’s happiness you can either play fetch or walk with one dog, using the HUD, or you can hold them using the menu. To use the menu pick up the dog, add and click it for menu>holding, then select the right size. Notice I’m holding two different size dogs. You will have to set the smaller one first. Horses and dogs need to be at least 75% happy to gain fervor and heat.

To hold your Barnyard Birds you can click the menu and select attach, hold and animate your av while its rezzed, then select what type bird you want, or simply add it from inventory. Here I am holding a hen and rooster. Barnyard Birds need to be at least 85% vivacity to gain vigor and to breed.

Now with Ponie Pals, if you run out of gummies you can hold them, and more than one at a time or have them walk by you, using the menu. While theyre rezzed and awake, click the menu>WEAR>WALK or Hold and they will attach and assume the correct position, or you can pick them up and add from inventory to hold. Edit the ones you are holding into position so you can see them on your right hand. They need to be awake and healthy to do all this. Ponie Pals need to have at least 70% bliss to gain moxie for breeding.

Thanks to the wonders of SL and the genius of our Amaretto Scripters, you can hold or walk with lots and lots of the breedables to make them happy for breeding, or just for pics and giggles. Happy Holding!

Checkout my Socks!

Hello everyone I hope your Saturday is going well and your weekend is off to a great start!

Today we are going to shine the spotlight on our Horses and the Sock trait.

The Sock trait was introduced with the Limited Edition 2013 Valentine Horses that were on sale from February 7, 2013 through February 22, 2013.

On February 7, 2013 a twist to the Limited Edition 2013 Valentine Horses was announced. If you breed a Limited Edition 2013 Valentine Horses with a Limited Edition 2013 Valentine Horses you will have the ability to get a new trait called Socks.

From October 1, 2013 through October 9, 2013 the Limited Edition 2013 Fall Horses were on sale. By breeding these Limited Editions with any other horse you had the chance at getting 1 of 4 new Sock colors, Black, White, Green or Rainbow.

Spring Editions were available from March 20th, 2018 to Tuesday April 3, 2018! Hiding inside these Spring Editions was the Daisy & Plumeria Sock!

Please note that socks are an alternative to hoof traits so you may only have one or the other on a horse.

A Null trait is an “Invisible trait”, a placeholder. These placeholders were implemented as a way to allow the breeder to have a maximum trait horse but still look the way they want it to look.

The Sock trait CAN be passed on.

For a closer look at socks check them out on the wiki at https://horse.amaretto.wiki/index.php?title=Socks

Until next time this is Snookie hoping you have a great weekend and an amazing week ahead!

Happy Breeding!!
