Everyone's Favorite, the Rules.

1. This site is not click and save. I am NOT Mother Theresa and this site is not here to provide for your lack of "cyb3rp3tz, OMG". NCC litters go to NCC members only. And don't take my outlines. I draw them freehand, bizzle.
2. Give me credit. "From Legacy" plus a working link is fine, just make sure it's close to the dog where everyone can see it.
3. Have your dog up within in a week. If you can't because of a good excuse, just e-mail me beforehand so I know why. If you can't because of a lame excuse, then I will rehome the dog to someone who has the time to care for him/her. Please notify me when you have your new dog on the site.
4. Return policy and takebacks: If you cannot or don't want to keep your dog, let me know ASAP and I will reclaim it. I reserve the right to take my dogs back for any reason, although this should only happen if you flagrantly and repeatedly break rules or if your dogs are deactivated due to your inactivity.
5. Reserves. I honor reserves in the official NCC order: owner of dam, owner of stud, breeder of dam, breeder of stud. If you breed one of my dogs, please give me the appropriate reserve, and please don't be offended if I decide against taking a puppy.
6. How to get the dog you want:Write the much-dreaded "good app." Oh, the humanity!
A good app does not have to kiss my butt (please don't do this) or be the Mt. Everest of all typed documents. It should include some of the following:

• whether you need a specific gender for breeding, or really love a certain color/name/the art (and maybe why)
• if the breed is one of your favorites or specialties
• please tell me whether your favorite is your absolute favorite, or you have no real preference, etc; it really helps when I'm distributing dogs
• elaborate if you have definite breeding or eventing plans, otherwise I will assume the dog is just a possibility for those things (which is okay, but I do love it when people event my dogs)
• use recognizable spelling/grammar and do not apply with one or two sentences! One-liners and mutilation of the English language are irritating.

7. Do not change the dog's info, show name, or image. The dogs will usually be sent in .jpg format. That means they will not be transparent; please talk to me if transparency is a life-or-death issue for you. Do not resize the dog without my permission. I will bear a grudge against you and all your descendants.
8. You must have a functional NCC website. If I have to log in to view the website, then no, you cannot have a dog. If, while looking through your website, I cannot identify it as a cyberkennel or am assaulted by an army of pop-ups, then no, you cannot have a dog. (It's okay if your site has ads. But I do not want to be provoked into a rage by someone's website.)
9. Break any of the rules and I will e-mail you to notify you that I noticed. I'll assume you have good intentions and help you if necessary. I do give second chances. Only if you continue to ignore the rules will I take back the dog, beat you down, etc. It will all be very low-drama. I'm not into flaming. Save us both some aggravation and ask questions if you are confused.
10. There is no secret word/phrase. Prove you have read the rules by following them.
