VKC Portuguese Water Dog!

A big surprise today from the Virtual Kennel Club creator Enrico Genosse - a Second Life Portuguese Water Dog. And for only 1500 Lindens, which is remarkably inexpensive for what the VKC dogs can do. (It may be a special opening day price, though.) The VKC dogs can follow sequences of commands as well as single ones, so they can learn tricks. They are absolutely amazing, although not quite as smart as I am, of course.


Dogland Park at Canis Beach was crowded with people and dogs. There are quite a few places to see VKC dogs now, but I went here today: http://slurl.com/secondlife/canis%20beach/


On the left is the Old English Sheepdog, the most recent of the VKC breeds. Center, of course, is the "First Family Dog." I have no idea why the Obamas didn't choose a Dalmatian!

  1. Thanks Marzipan, for featuring such a cool Blog about my dog park at Canis Beach. The VKC Dog Park at Canis Beach was so excited with the surprise release.. and all had fun. Come on down and visit. It is free to stay all day every day and play with the dogs. Visit me, and I will give you a tour!~Vitolo

  2. Hi Marzipan. I am the owner of the VKC Dog Park at Canis Beach in Rhoda. What an honor it was to have a Dalmation among my "pack" that day! You are correct... Mr. Genosse is in the habit of letting the newest breed sell at 1500 for the first 24 hours. And, though the Portie has gone up, There will be new breeds released periodically, and so it is good to come and visit, and learn what is new.Come by anytime and try each breeds unique petting animation, and play with the dogs... It costs nothing to visit, pet and play!
