Hey guys, I'm new (ish, I had an account back when I was 12 or so and recently decided to return) and I wanted to pop in and say hello! I'm 21, my hobbies consist of making art, reading, gaming, and binge-watching Netflix. I'm an avid sim gamer (always have been) and am looking forward to seeing HP again after all these years.

I want your opinions though!

I'm not quite sure what breed to start with and I'm open to suggestions ;) I'd love to hear what you guys suggest.

Yay! Welcome back!
Hope to see you around in chat!

Id go for Boxers or Dobermans! For Dogs anyway :P

If you check out the breed ambassador section theres a few giving away starter breeds. Might be a good place to start, breed wise :D

Ill be raffling off a pair of quarter ponies in a few weeks!

Theyre being entered into private shows, so theyll have a very nice start!

Audacious is also giving away paint horses :)

Or you may be interested in Finnhorses! I don't have any backups available yet (I will in 9 weeks), but I also offer a service as breed ambassador: I will train up to 4 pairs of Finnhorses to 300k for free. One-time offer for new breeders :)

DIREWOLVES!! 

Whynn, there are Direwolves?! I'M SCREAMIN AHH

Thank you for the suggestions so far guys, I'll definitely take all of those into consideration ♥ I ended up starting with a pair of Maremmano because a random number generator said so (I'm literally that awful on deciding omg) but I'm definitely going to be expanding into other breeds as well c:

WELCOME!  Super glad to have you!  I know I'm late to the game but I vote Andalusians! :P

Welcome!

Always lots of options for breeding! 

I always suggest you start with something that you have a personal attachment to. It makes training and eveyrthing easier. I find that I sturrgle to keep up with a breed if I dont have some emotional attachment to it.

Welcome back!

I've got a little of almost everything it seem xD but I second what Zad said about finding something that's special to you. I absolutely love my abaco barbs and know about the breed and what's currently going on with it. The last mare actually died a couple years ago and they're working on re-creating the population with harvested eggs from her and outside spanish lined horses. So I have this attachment to them outside of HP even. The other breeds I have are special to me too in various ways.

Welcome back! 

I breed Kabardas. I agree with the above statements about having an emotional attachment helping, but I kind of picked Kabardas andomly and the emotional attachment grew form there :) I love my Kabardas!

Hey! If your interested in breeding any of these I'd totally be willing to give you a couple of starter horses/dogs:

horses

- black forest night mares 

- brumbys

dogs

-whippets

-Irish setters

- tamaskan dogs
