My old Kennels and nostalgic photo gallery!

I first experienced playing Petz in 2008. I didn't have internet connection at this time at all. I borrowed Dogz 5 game from my friend and it quickly resulted in a new hyperfixation. I was spending all my free time with it, inventing stories about my dogs and also inventing some kennels - yet I didn't know that there are other people in the world who do the exact same thing!

Then, I got internet. Searching about Petz was my first internet-based interest and I discovered websites - Polish blogs, forums and English websites with resources. My English level wasn't good (I'm pretty sure Petz websites taught me more basic English than school in a meantime).
In spring 2009 I created my first online Petz kennel, under the name "Speed Dog". I was breeding various dogs, including terriers, sighthounds and some gundogs. By the time it evolved into simple jack russel terrier and basenji kennel, sitll under the same name. I was breeding jack russel terriers from original PF Magic file, which dates back to the time I didn't know about modding community. Basenjis were downloaded from "Abnormality" website, I enjoyed this file a lot because it was my favourite real-life breed at this time.
This was my first Speed Dog logo ("hodowla" means "kennel" in Polish).



My second logo. Made for me by Tuniskova from Petz Forum.



I was showing my dogs on Polish forums. Here are some of the most notable of them: Petz Forum, SHiR and Petzik. I am not the artist behind these logos but I wanted to share them for archiving reasons!







I created a side-kennel called "Ruda Sfora", where I was breeding hungarian vizslas.

Here is Ruda Sfora logo by me.



I was a judge in some small Polish pose shows. I joined PKC and tried to enter shows with my dogs. And I started to experiment with Pet Workshop.
Around 2010 I collaborated with my cousin into another short kennel project - this time with Petz 4 sighthounds only, under "Ekskluzywne Inaczej" name, which started as an inside joke but stayed like that anyway.



I still own all my creations from this time. After few computer changes, it seems my oldest hard drive still works and my dogs are mostly safe.
