Mä oon käyttänyt tätä tekstiä ulkomaalaisilla hyvällä tuloksella :) Jos haluat niin nappaa talteen. Vuosien mittaan laitoin sadoille kasvattajille viestiä ja vaan ehkä 10% vastas takaisin. Muutin rodusta riippuen sitten vain rodut ja kennelin nimet tekstiin.
Hi!
My name is NIMESI TÄHÄN and I live in Finland. I'm XX years old girl and
I've totally fallen in love with dogs especially with german shepherds (tai no mikä rotusi on) . I have about 7 years old gsd male called Muffe at home and I've continued my interest in german shepherd also on the Internet. I found
virtual kennels (or sim-game kennels) a few years ago and nowadays they're one of my hobbies. Through virtual kennels I've found new friends who are also interested in dogs and I've learned a lot of new things about dogs.
I don't know if you know anything about virtual kennels so I'll tell you more about them. Virtual kennels (and also virtual stables, virtual catteries etc) are imagined kennels which work only on the Internet.
Virtual kennels have their own websites where their owners have invented
dogs and all kinds of activities. In the beginning of virtual kennels there
wasn't any activities but taking care of dogs. People could take care of dogs by writing stories about dog and doing things with dog. Step by step the "virtual world" started to develop and these days people take part actively in competitions which are evaluated by drawing lots. Every activity has its own organization. There are organizations for herding, obedience trial, agility and other more rare activities. The whole virtual
world is led by VFCI or Virtual Fédération Cynologique Internationale (
http://kultsu.net/virt/vfci/
unfortunately only in Finnish). Virtual
world is currently highly developed and partly real-feeling where people
without dog or with dog can have fun together with our best friends dogs, though only virtually.
Virtual shows are however the main thing why I contacted you. Virtual dogs
can take part in shows only if they've pictures. Usually we favor high
quality pictures where dog's structure, moves and expressions are diversely
seen. Also my own virtual shepherds need pictures so they could compete in
virtual shows. I don't have possibility to photograph pictures to my
virtual dogs by myself so I have to turn to you, real breeders. I would
like to ask if You were ready to give pictures from your kennel KENNELIN NIMI to
my use? My virtual kennel's address is OSOITE TÄHÄN and there you can familiarize yourself with my websites.
I realize that everyone doesn't obey the copyright-law and may copy
pictures from the Internet without permission. I am responsible and honest
and I would never copy pictures without permission. I obey the
copyright-law as well as possible. On my website there is clearly told
where I have permission to copy pictures, in Finnish and/or in English. I
also mark on the sites of my dogs' that they're virtual to avoid
misunderstandings.
There are some links where you can read more about virtual kennels.

I hope you will answer even if the answer would be negative.
Sincerely yours,
OIKEA NIMESI, Finland
