This all you need to know about Reproduction:
•BREEDING•
All dogs reach sexual maturity at the age of 3.
The breeding season is Spring, you cannot breed at any other time of the year. The only place dogs can breed is in Silent Grasses. You can do "Graphic" and "Long" breeding, but you must put *** somewhere in the post topic so others can be warned of what the post contains.
Females can be force-bred. In order for this to happen, both canines must have introduced themselves and the Male can then decide if he wants to force-breed her or not. Force-breeding can happen all year round, breeding season or not but if a pup is born in Winter or Autumn they are far more prone to illnesses and still births. Also food and water is far more scarce so the pup will not get as much nourishment as it should, therefore not growing to be as healthy as it could be.
Gestation period (how long your female is pregnant) is 30 real life days. After this time is up, you must come to the Birthing Springs. By then it should be Summer, which is the birthing season. When birthing, you can do as many pre-posts as you like but once the female is just about to birth, the dam and sire must post their stats (which are on the main Birthing Springs page for you to copy and then paste into your post) so that Mother Nature can create your litters' stats. You do not choose what you pups look like, their allignment or their gender! That is all up to Mother Nature. She will come up with all the physical attributes and some general stats aswell. The final letter of the joining password is 'A'. Once you have finished reading these rules, head off to the joining board to create you character using the password that the combined letter make. Using what mild personality Mother Nature has given your pups, it is up to you to name them, add to their personality and decide who will Play your pup/s. If the dam and sire cannot decide who to give the pup/s to by the time they reach the age of three, Aztec will take them off you and place them into the adoption centre. The maximum ammount of pups born is 3, but the usual ammount is 1-2. Pups can be born with illnesses and abnormalities (these are more common with mix-breeds and during Autumn and Winter) and possibly result in death. Be prepared for this when giving birth, because it does happen.
•PUPS•
Dogs (including pups) age 1 year every 4 months (1 month=1 season- 4 seasons in one year- 4monthes=1 year!). It is a good idea to keep track of your dogs' birthday.
Pups no longer have to live with their care taker after they age 2 years old, but the care taker can kick them out whenever they wish. Pups living on their own under the age of 2 will most likely die. Canines can kill a lone pup if they wish, but there is not god-modeling or power-playing.
God modeling is when you make your dog invincible or have unatural powers that a canine would not normally have, and power playing is when you control another players moves e.g. if you are power playing you would say something like "Blackie bit the little dogs leg off and he bled to death." Instead you would say something like: "Blackie attempted to savage the little wolves legs." If you see somebody God Modeling or Power Playing, please inform me so I can warn or possibly 'slash' that player.
