How it all began: Clementine Lavish is the founder of Lavish Lamb kennel. The lucky Irish Briton was fortunate enough to inherit a savings from her great grandfather who passed away. She's always been very fit and active, she rescued her first dog when she visited Ireland and seen him in an animal rescue. The young dog was very energetic and spirited just like herself and she needed a way to burn off his extra energy, so she tried doing agility obstacles with him and the dog loved it! She started teaching him how to behave and excel in sports, before she knew it, it was something she really enjoyed and fancied. She started taking dog training lessons to increase her training skill, so she decided to bring her dream to life and wanted to start breeding highly efficient agility dogs to improve her bloodline and create even better zestful lively dogs.
Our culture: Our dogs follow a unique royalty hierarchy system to determine their position within their royal ranks, we do partake in formal royalty style events with our dogs' family such as weddings, puppy showers, and parties ect.
British royalty is our kennel's finesse, our special way of doing things :)

Our breed standard:
The British Lighthound's standards are all about moderate natural functional features. Their legs should not be too short nor too tall, their head should be proportionate and have a long smooth muzzle bridge coming together with their head, along with a study structure and strong straight back, tail can be a brush tail, small or fluffy but never docked. Their ears can be erect, or halfway or even floppy and relaxed, but never cropped and always natural. Their neck should be strong and mighty but not too thick or large
Genetic Diversity: Our dogs are chosen for easy-going, cooperative traits and preferably the smart trait. Common in-game traits include (Friendly, Active, Vocal) They make excellent companions and even better is their wide genetic diversity, which means they are not inbred. This allows their genes to fight off heriditary illnesses that purebreds are prone to. This allows them to live longer and healthier lives.
Careers: All of our mature adult dogs routinely practice advanced agility, running and jumping through obstacles to make sure they are functionally and physically sound dogs, they are also taught basic obedience, commands such as Sit, come, shake ect. We count every Agility trial our individual canines go through and keep records of their achievements and perfect agility runs when they didn't have any faults. We go by our own training curriculum , which makes it easy for us to identify which dog has the most agility experience and the fastest time,
when a dog has completed 2 Agility Trials they are declared an "Amateur Competitor", when a dog has achieved 6 agility trials this makes them an "experienced competitor" and when a dog reaches 6 perfect runs we consider them an "Agility champion", 10 perfect Agility trials and the dog wins the all time title of "Supreme Agility Champion" These terms were created by us, and used to demonstrate a dog's career as well as serving as good documents to show that their offspring had parents who were experienced at competing in agility.
Simplified Training level terms and guide: Good to best! You're free to use this for your kennel or training your sims dogs as well :)
2 Agility trials Completed = Amateur Competitor
6 Agility trials Completed = Semi-pro Competitor
12 Agility trials completed = Agility Virtuoso/pro
6 Perfect Agility trials = Agility Champion
10 Perfect Agility Trials = Supreme Agility Champion
Our practices: We do not over-breed our dogs, our main focus is to train our dogs to excel at completing agility trials, exercise their abilities and the end goal is to produce dogs who do even better at agility than our last generation. Our lassies, or dams only have a maximum of 4 litters, from every doggie couple we always keep the first born puppy to be next in line to the throne, and the rest are given to other sims' players as High energy agility drive pets. We always have reservation lists before the puppies are even conceived to allow people to apply for one, so we're positive our puppies will get good qualifying homes :)
FAQ:
Q: Why is Duchess Romilly a "Duchess" and not a Queen?:
Short Answer: Duchess Romilly got married to King Aubrey, so she married into the Lavish Royal doggie family, but she was not one of the original royals.
Romilly's backstory
A: Duchess Romilly descended from Liverpool, England and used to be a stray, somebody called animal control and alerted them about a strange dog lurking nearby their backyard around the neighborhood's rural landscape and in the woods, the dog had taken up refuge in the woodlands and animal control officers noticed she had even gone as far as digging a slope into the cool dirt as a bed. She was a "Duchess" over her area, but not as powerful as a Queen. She had been there almost a month and it was her territory and therefore she felt as though she had some claim over it because she didn't know what people to turn to, so she got sent to the adoption centre where we found her, and we could see she had some collie in her and knowing she had some of that Collie gentleness drew us in, and she turned out to be a really sweet lass. And later on she ended up marrying our very special and very first royal here who's called King Aubrey, but she was not one of the original dogs here, and it would be wrongful to "de-crown" Queen Camilla.
Q: How does having a royal title differentiate our dogs? or what does being "King of the Kennel" really mean?
A: A dog being titled "King" or "Queen" of the Kennel means that dog is the first in line to compete in Agility trials, and is usually the first to achieve "Experienced Competitor" which is when a dog completes 6 Agility Trials, and the first to become an "Agility Champion" when they have 6 perfect agility runs. Being Queen does NOT mean that we love them more than any of our other dogs, we try to give our dogs equal attention. It simply signifies their position within their career and means they will be more successful faster because of having more practice. It also means that other dogs will often look up to them and respect them.
Q: Do you spay and neuter any of your dogs?
A: We choose to keep the majority of our dogs unaltered, obviously because we want to continue our bloodline. Also because we'd rather keep their hormones intact, so far there's been no accident litters and thankfully we can keep everything under control.
