substituting default pets with my own creations

If you make more dogs/cats, be sure to post about it.
Indeed. If you'd like to try your hand at an Irish Setter, Cocker Spaniel or Cockapoo, I'd be very happy to try them out for you. XD I'm now using a mix of Maxis defaults and your breeds plus a few I've picked up from elsewhere, and overall I'm quite pleased.

Thank you both for the additional feedback. It seems no one has had a problem, which was what I suspected. Logically, I can't see how it could cause problems. It looks, to me, fairly straight-forward and uncomplicated. (shrug)
I could write up a tutorial on how I did it, with a disclaimer that it is still somewhat experimental, I suppose. I may do that ....
As far as more variety in the game, pet-wise, that is in the game plan. I want more variety, too. So I will definitely be working on more dog breeds. Just keep an eye on my website over the next few weeks. First, I need to get pics up on my site of all the breeds I have already created. Then I can start on some new ones.
Did you see the "Lady and the Tramp" I made available in the last couple days? Do you think the type of Lady is close enough to the Cocker Spaniel, if I just do some nice recolors?
I will be doing the Irish Setter, for sure. That is on the list of must-do breeds.
What size Cockapoo did you have in mind? They can be either large or small, and vary in type so greatly. But I may attempt one. I have only seen a couple of them, up close and personal, and they were small. It may not be at all what you are thinking of, but probably still worth a try.
Lastly, when I do make more breeds, I don't think I can just post about it in this forum -- unless I have overlooked a proper place to make such announcements? So I think, perhaps, if everyone who is interested can just make a bookmark, that would be the easiest solution.
Oh, one other thing -- how many pets spawned in the neighborhoods without the respawn mods? By checking in SimPE, can you see if it filled up the whole quota of 60 or so pets?

oooo - if you're taking requests (sidles over and fixes amjoie with blinding grin ;D)
How about a Manchester terrier? - you already made my beloved dog Harry with the Liver Doberman (he died last year), but Meg isn't there.

Your Lady is adorable! But I think the cocker my parents had had a longer coat. Perhaps they just didn't trim her often enough? (She wasn't a show dog, just a pet.) She was a lovely honey gold color, as well.

Well, my cockapoo was of a medium to smallish size and very shaggy, almost like a sheep dog, though he somewhat resembled a poodle the one and only time we had him trimmed (long story. XD) He had very bushy, expressive eyebrows, rather like a Scottie. He was black with a white chest, paws, whiskers and eyebrows, and a long wavy tail. In fact he looked quite a bit like this little guy, but darker and with floofier feet:
But whatever you think is most appropriate--you clearly know your breeds much better than I do!

You might also post about it in this thread--those who've already posted here will get the notifications and anyone interested later can subscribe.
Thanks for making so many lovely pets for us to enjoy!

I love your breeds and would love it if you did a Cockapoo. Here is my puppy:
Obviously, there are many variations! ;D
