The happy puppy program is devoted to the taming and domestication of the Amarrian Slaver Hound. We hope to turn these negatively regarded slave dogs into happy little puppies for families to enjoy.
Our dogs have a spacious enclosure in the Federation Navy Assembly Plant at Aunia, where top graduate in canine behaviour Dr. Zane and his assistant are working to understand and counter the centuries of inbuilt tendencies towards ferocity, and with tender care and a lot of love, we'll make them happy normal dogs again.
Our puppies are kept in our so called 'Puppy Paradise', a large enclosure built with regards to their comfort at great expense. Dr Zane and his research team watch over the well protected dogs as they check for behavioural patterns, while our specialised team of trainers work hard to make the dogs suitable for home life.
With the security of the station in mind and for insurance purposes, an elite squad of marines has been kept on retainer with hi-tech tranquilizer pistols to keep both the puppies, and the workers safe from harm.
If you wish to donate Slaver Hounds to our program, please drop by to Aunia, where we will offer you a modest 4,000 ISK for your puppy to take care of any shipping costs and to reimburse your time.
Alternatively, you can sponsor a puppy, for the small, one time fee of 1,000 isk. You'll get mail updates on your puppy, as well as access to the scientific progress reports on the research done by Dr. Zane. If you're interested, feel free to contact me

You know, the biggest thing about those dogs is that they are raised to be the way they are. They are domesticated, yes, they do have strong instincts, but they can be trained to be wonderful guard dogs and not to attack their owner. Now given they will not make good family pets. At least not for a few generations of breeding to make them a little more docile, they can be wonderfully committed pets to their owner. -------------------------------------------------- You can run, but you'll only die tired. |

There are slaver kitties? oooh.. .. it probably wouldn't be a good idea to mix them with the dogs though
And yes, as you say.. while you can train them to be good guard dogs, it's never really the same as being happy to have them around your kids.. .. hopefully eventually we'll be able to change that

Edited by: Brastagi on 23/12/2005 03:28:55 Ookay... I won't bother taming slaver hound as there are still other breed of dogs that are viable. Like Hekoberman, which is very good guard dog.. altho not as agile as slaver hound. And there's Jitahuahua, small mini dog with their beady eyes, pretty well known in Jita. And of course the beautiful PseudoCollie dog, which starring "Rensie come Home". Off course who doesn't forget the faithful 'Ren Tin Tin'? --------- Watch me gravitate Ha ha ha ha ha....

taming a slaver hound to be a family pet would be like using a minmatar made out of solid gold to do exterior repairs on Amarrian ships.
It'd be costly, ineffective, and just plain stupid. There are better things and better ways, but leave it to the Gallente to be so ineffective...

It could also be likened to asking CAIN to turn up to a fight before its over.
Or like asking CAIN not to be stuck up, arrogant, white collar, brill cream abusing, lick spittles.
I want some slaver hounds for when I board gurista stations, my crew loves to bet on the time it takes for the mutts to clear the station of life. the slowest was about an hour to clear a small station of about fifty personel, tbh they would prolly have done it faster if the crew was minmatar. Lets face it who wants to stop and eat a dying unwashed matar?

Ah, what a complete misunderstanding. I see why the Gallente race evolved i such a bad way... Slavers can become tame indeed. Its about how you see "Tame" me and my family have had a slave compound on Syrikos V -the native home of slavers- for a long long time. My ancestors where even the ones who catched the first male drooler (they where called that way back then, about 950 years ago. ) From that day on, they breeded and cross breeded it to the form it has now. It can become very loyal to a man, but will never loose its appetite for blood... Only amarrians, teached in the art of breeding and keeping slavers, a lore written bye our ancestors, make a chance of getting one loyal enough not to attack his master one day...
I urge you heathens to experiment with slavers and children, they are very good with them...
Hehe, good riddance...

Taming a Slaver Hound into a Happy Puppy is deliciously symbolic
If I sponsor them, do I get to name them? I have some very special names in mind...

Why Citizen.. You sound almost jealous. Knowing ones worth to the State isn't a bad thing. If I'm not mixing your rep up with someone elses you have a few things to be proud of yourself.
Leave the humble attitude to the Minmatar trash.

Edited by: Gaven Lok''ri on 24/12/2005 03:51:42 How amusing.
Im sure the breeders of slaver dogs will be glad to sell you some of their animals before they are trained so you can tame them. Its not like Slaver hounds are humans or anything.
Though I suggest in investing in prostetics insurance for your handlers. You may need a supply of new arms and legs before you are done.

Fluffy, great job with the puppies! Maybe if you wanted to expand the operation we could work on a Happy PIE Inc. program, devoted to the taming and domestication of the Amarrian Slavers.

Your answer may lie in cross breading with another more docile species, that would be the more lucrative way of doing such. If you can create a new bread of Hound that is both physically strong and loyal to its master as well as freindly, not aggressive and playfull with children than youve struck a gold mine.
The truth is Slaver hounds were probably long before domestication a vicious animal. These traits where favored by slavers to keep there slaves in fear. You cant change genetics in an animal without altering its genetic structure, ie crossbreeding it with other species of Canines.
My advice is, (I have a Slaver Hound of my own to keep thieves out of my hangar on stacmon) to take a newborn puppy of one gender and socialize it with a pup from a less ferocious breed of Canine, (I suggest the Intaki Harehound). After about two generations of breeding you can begin to isolate certain characteristics of each dog through observation of each specimens behavior and only allow that particular Specimen to breed. In about 3 generations the dog would be all that you are seeking to make it.
Slaver hounds are ferocious because they are ferocious and agressive. I applaud you efforts but as a lover of all canines I know that every breed has its purpous and you cant change an animals instinct.

Mr. Engel, I must regret to inform you that the proceedure you describe would fail, simply because the slavers are not canines.
Quote: Slaver is a native animal of Syrikos V and has been bred by the Amarrians from the time they first settled the planet more than a millennium ago. ItÆs a vertebrate with four elongated feet and a slender, fur-clad body. A fully grown slaver can stand more than a meter tall from its shoulder-blades to the soles of its front legs. But the most noticeable feature of the slaver are its massive jaws and teeth, constantly slobbering in anticipation for something to chew on - hence the old name of the slaver before its role as slave keeper: Drooler. The slaver can run very fast and is able to jump vast distances, making this carnivorous beast a deadly foe against unarmed humans.
Slavers are extremely vicious and blood-thirsty, but they can be tamed as long as the training starts while theyÆre still small cubs. The slavers are allowed to roam free outside the barbed parameters of the acres of the plantations. The agile slavers are quick to see or smell slaves that have ventured outside the fences and few can escape the slavers quick, merciless attacks. A preferred tactic of the slaver is to attack from above; for this it often lurks in high places, even trees, or by simply jumping many meters into the air and landing on their unsuspecting prey.
God is with us. |

Can't help but wonder, why slaver hounds and not say, furriers? Smaller, cuter, easier to take care of and still can cost one a limb if they're not careful enough... :s
