Blanco K9s

Happy Blanco de Mayo! Wait that was CINCO de Mayo and that was yesterday lol. So for the day after we will check out the Blanco dogs. How do you get Blanco K9s? Easy enough, just breed two K-9s of the same color coats together. (example: two Red Pie Face Huskies could produce a Blanco Husky). The coats on the Blanco K-9s do NOT have the ability to be passed on, but the Blanco Collars DO have the ability to be passed on. It’s as simple as that!

The amazing thing about the Blancos is, there are seventeen of them! Seventeen different sculpted dogs, thats a wonderful job the Amaretto staff have done. You could breed for all of them or only one type, depending on your favorite breed.

While the coats don’t pass, Blanco collars CAN pass

The Amor, Retro, Death and Wild Collars are retired. They can pass from existing lines but will not appear on any Blancos dropped after they were retired. Which one are YOU trying for? Happy Breeding.

Mother’s Day

Mother’s Day is a holiday honoring motherhood observed in different forms throughout the world. In the United States, Mother’s Day 2022 will occur on Sunday, May 8. The American incarnation of Mother’s Day was created by Anna Jarvis in 1908 and became an official U.S. holiday in 1914. Jarvis would later denounce the holiday’s commercialization and spent the latter part of her life trying to remove it from the calendar. While dates and celebrations vary, Mother’s Day traditionally involves presenting moms with flowers, cards, and other gifts.

Did you know? More phone calls are made on Mother’s Day than any other day. These holiday chats with Mom often cause phone traffic to spike by as much as 37 percent.

Normally, Mother’s Day is the busiest day of the year for restaurants.

Mother’s Day is the third highest selling holiday for flowers and plants.

PEACH BUZZ ~ BLING!

Dear Breeders,
Today’s trending topic is BLING! Everyone loves a little bling bling in their lives. We dress, decorate, accentuate…..maybe over compensate (is there really such a thing?) in bling bling gems.

Jewels and gems are the treasures of men. Kings and Queens have adorn their garments, crowns and palaces with sparkling baubles of all kinds. Which started the whole trend of BLING!

Just recently I have learned that some chickens…..yes I said chickens have found some gems of their own! These trending little chickens are cock a doo a doodling with gem beaks of all things!

I must say that Amaretto was quite clever in trying to hide these gems but apparently the chicken breeders found out that if you breed certain collector editions these hidden gems could be found. Its like finding hidden treasure, a pirates booty….argggg?

Here is what I found out by digging around the Amaretto Archives:

On June 27, 2016 Amaretto celebrated Fourth of July with 2016 Independence Day Edition Barnyard Birds! By breeding 2016 Independence Day Edition together you got a chance of having a Gem Sapphire or Gem Garnet Beak!

On Nov 10th until November 24th, 2017 Amaretto celebrated Fall with 2017 Limited Edition Fall Edition Barnyard Birds! The following beak colors were hiding in them Gem Topaz and Gem Onyx!

On Feb.10,2021 In honor of Valentines Day Amaretto has brought to you Mr. Wright & Mrs. Wright, Hiding in these horses was beak color Gem Diamond & Gem Turquoise!

These beautiful beaks do in fact pass! So if you want to add a little bling to your chicken there are six gem beaks to help you. Maybe you and your blinged out chicken can watch breakfast at Tiffany’s together?!? Your Chicken will be “Tiffany” worthy!

This concludes Peach Buzz that informs you of the hottest trends in Amaretto!

National Teacher Day

National Teacher Day is observed on the first Tuesday of the first full week of May (May 3) and we’re more than ready to show our appreciation to those who have taught us. Everyone has had that favorite teacher that has helped inspire them. This day meant to honor them was actually made by a teacher. None other than First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt herself. Eleanor Roosevelt was more than Franklin D. Roosevelt’s wife, she has a history of civic duty and was an advocate for fellow teachers. Her love for education began at a young age when she was privately tutored and encouraged by her aunt Anna “Barnie” Roosevelt. No matter how high she rose on the social ladder, she never forgot where she came from.

In 1953, Eleanor Roosevelt stood up to Congress in hopes of convincing them that teachers needed a day to be recognized for all that they do. Until that point, the celebration of the day wasn’t clear. It’s believed that some schools in certain states were already observing the day, but there wasn’t a clear consensus and she wanted to make it official.

The National Education Association (NEA) in partnership with the Kansas State and Indiana State Boards of Education, lobbied Congress in order for the day to be recognized. Despite her best efforts, the first National Teacher Day didn’t become an official national day until 1980.

At its inception, National Teacher Day was celebrated on March 7 until 1984 when it was moved to May. Thanks to the assistance of the National PTA, it evolved into Teacher Appreciation Week, giving teachers more time to bask in appreciation. A year later, the NEA  established that the first Tuesday of the week would be National Teacher Appreciation Day.

Amaretto is great for occasionally tossing in a few twists and turns. So we decided to take it to the next level and actually make a “Twist” Horse and “Twist” K-9 each month. The Amaretto Twist will consist each month of 2 different breeds that you must breed together in order to discover the “twist coat and eye for horses and twist coat, eye, and collar for K-9’s”.

From August 5, 2014 until September 5, 2014 you could breed any color Spotted Amaretto and any color Exmoor Pony together for the chance at one of these Spotted Exmoor Coats. No other qualifications necessary, just has to be 1 Spotted Amaretto and 1 Exmoor any color.

The Spotted Exmoor Coat DOES have the ability to pass.

The Back to School Eye DOES have the ability to pass.

From August 5, 2014 until September 5, 2014 you could breed any color of Yorkie and any color of Pug together for the chance at one of these Porkie Coats. No other qualifications necessary, just has to be 1 Yorkie and 1 Pug any color.

The Porkie Coat DOES have the ability to pass.

The Back to School Eye DOES have the ability to pass.

The Yellow School Bus Collar DOES have the ability to pass.
