Welcome to the Nursery


main page

Table of contents:
-life cycle and other explanations (you are here)
-stud/brood list
-Litters
-genetics guide
-mutation guide

Pixel Terriers usually have 1-5 puppies, with the smaller litters being the most common, after a gestation period of 3 months (3 days). The pups are weaned after 6 months (6 days) and are full adults after 1 year (12 days). Females can breed approximately once every 6 months (6 days).

Pixel Terriers are immortal...once they are weaned. However, from 0-6 months, they are vulnerable to a variety of diseases. These diseases are easily treatable, but if not treated in 1 month (24 hours) of developing, the puppy will die. Sad.

Now, you may be wondering how this system works. If you want to offer your terrier's genes to others, fill out this form:

Username and ID number:
Dog name and number in kennel:
Gender:
Genetics:
Mutations:

I will set a fee based on genes, mutations, and looks. Males can be bred infinitely, but females only once every 6 days (I will note that).

Now, say you want to use those genes. You find the stud/dam. You tell ScottishCoyote the match, using the form above. You send the fee to the other user. You wait.

Now, I know that some people will want pups from a litter that was born. The Rule is: the person who is paying gets all the pups. Puppies =/= payment. End of story

The Ultimate Guide to Pixel Terrier Mutations!



Here you can read all about the various mutations that lurk in Pixel Terrier DNA

How do they pass?



Each mutation has a certain percentage pass rate. If a mutation has a rate of 5%, if 100 puppies are born, only 5 would have that mutation. All have a low pass rate.

The easiest way to have a mutation pass is to have at least one of the parents have that mutation. However, if a terrier has a high amount of rare genes, then there is a 2% chance of its puppies having a random mutation. You can also give a pregnant female a uranium chunk, which gives the puppies a double chance of inheriting and mutations, or a 2-4% chance if the parents have no mutations.

What mutations are there?



Well, I will tell you! Please note, if both parents have the SAME mutation, the pass rate goes up by 1.5 (3% to 4.5%, for example).

1. Flopear
What it is: your terrier's ears failed to stand up when its siblings' ears did
What it looks like: the terrier's ears are bent forwards
Lethal: no
Appears: 6 months of age
Pass rate: 5%

2. Bobtail
What it is: your terrier's tail was always shorter than those of its siblings
What it looks like: the tail is about half the normal length
Lethal: no
Appears: birth
Pass rate: 7.5%

3. Beardless
What it is: When the puppies' fur begins to grow long, your terrier's stays short around the muzzle
What it looks like: the terrier has no beard on its snout
Lethal: no
Appears: 12 months
Pass rate: 10%

4. Blind
What it is: when the puppies opened their eyes, your terrier's eyes were pale, and it had difficulty getting around
What it looks like: your terrier has white eyes
Lethal: no
Appears: 6 months
Pass rate: 6%

5. Malformed brain
What it is: your terrier is really struggling with basic functions
What it looks like: normal
Lethal: yes, three months
Appears: never unless tested
Pass rate: N/A

Genetics!



Here you can learn all about genetics!

First, this is what the rarities mean:

Common: colors/markings/eyes found in terriers
Uncommon: colors/markings/eyes found in domestic dogs
Rare: colors/markings/eyes/found in wild dogs
Very rare: colors/markings/eyes found in animals
Legendary: Colors/markings/eyes not found in any real animal (raffle only)

Now, genes do more than just make your dog look pretty. They actually affect mutations. Rarer genes are more unstable, so they boost the chance of getting a mutation. However, they really boost the chance of lethal mutations. So be careful when breeding for rare colors.

But when a terrier gets a mutation, its other genes will most likely be on the low end of the rarity scale.
