Happy Hump Day Fellow Breeders!
This is the first of several upcoming Connections where I’ll tell you a little bit about some specific breedables and what inspired their creation. Today, I’m spotlighting the Fu K-9s.
What is a Fu Dog?
Chinese or Imperial Guardian Lions, are a strong feng shui symbol of power and protection. They date back to the Han dynasty (206 BC – AD 220). Typically made of stone, Fu Dogs were traditionally placed in front of Imperial palaces, tombs, government offices, temples, and the homes of government officials and the wealthy to guard against negative energy.
Although actually lions, their strong resemblance with the Chow Chow and Shih Tzu, led these figures to be called Fu/Foo Dogs in English. Fu may be translated from Chinese to mean “prosperity”.
Fu Dogs are meant to be paired with each having their own symbolic detail. The premise behind the symbolism is that the female (yin) protects the people dwelling inside the home, while the male (yang) protects the structure itself. You can tell which is which by examining what’s beneath the paws: the male dog holds a ball (representing supremacy over the world); the female dog restrains a playful cub on its back (representing nurture).
Amaretto Paradise Puppy
When you send your K-9 or kennel to our reward system called Puppy Paradise, you will receive a number of points based on the number of traits and age for a particular K-9. Once you have accumulated enough points, you can use these points to purchase an array of items from the Puppy Paradise Vendor such as Pet Food, Vaccinations and unique K9 Paradise Puppies, like the Fu K-9!
The Fu K-9 you get will be random gender and random coat. There are three different coats to collect! https://k9.amaretto.wiki/index.php?title=Fu_K-9s
- “Happiness” Fu K-9
- Eye: Purple Jade
- Collar: Happiness
- “Friendship” Fu K-9
- Eye: Green Jade
- Collar: Friendship
- “Prosperity” Fu K-9

The Fu K-9s are NOT able to pass their coats or collars. However, they DO have the ability to pass their eyes (depending on the coat you receive) Purple Jade, Green Jade, and Blue Jade.
When you breed a Paradise Puppy (whether it is with another Paradise Puppy or any other K-9) you DO have an increased chance at receiving a random Enchanted K-9!
