DOG'S WORLD

  Dogland Park now,  with no clinic. It's still business as usual, good will and low cost dogs with "The Dogfather"
Recently,  Creator of VKC Dogs, Enrico Genosse was concerned about people misinterpreting exactly who "VKC" is. In an effort to regain control of VKC's identity, Enrico has removed Vitolo Rossini, "The Dogfather", Owner of Rhoda's Dogland Park from VKC Park Service.  Vitolo will not disappoint member's Dogland's groups (VKC Open Chat, Dogland Training Group, and Working Dog Handlers).
Scores of dog owners have become outraged, and have given away their VKC dogs, or sold them to others. Many have taken it upon themselves to hang out where new residents go, to advise  people not to become involved with the VKC dogs or anything having to do with Enrico Genosses's business.
Although there will not be any new VKC Dogs sold at Rhoda, and there is no longer a clinic there, All services will remain as they have been.
At Dogland in Rhoda, the love of dogs, and the support to VKC Dog Owners continues, in spite of Mr. Genosse's foolish decision to remove the favorite VKC location to appease the other park owners that were not getting much business, due to Vitolo's marvelous customer service and support!
All of Dogland is now owned by Vito, and donated to the group. Vito has assured us that all classes and services at Dogland will go on as always. He will continue to take IM to email 24/7, and will be on call to work with you and your dog same as before.  You can still get your dogs at the other  clinics, or even easier, by sending an IM to Vitolo or Danny06 Aya, who have arranged a communication system so that you can get help 24/7 as fast as always.
There will still be dogs that are fully trained available for relocation at greatly reduced prices, and Vitolo keeps a list of folks wanting specific breeds, so he will continue his dog "buyback" program.
Vito told me "The show will go on".
You will still be able to look to Dogland Park, to find Fully Trained VKC Dogs, at greatly reduced cost.
Vitolo Rossini, is "The Dogfather". Vito is here to provide you with classes, activities, events, all dog services, lessons about life, and great free creations for sl residents and their dogs.
UPDATE: Since I wrote this blog, I was ejected from the VKC group for my opinion. It seems those that like to play God do so by burying their heads, and the heads of their group members from exposure to anything not spoken through their lips. Way to Go Sandry & Enrico!

The latest VKC Dog to be released is the Portugese Water Dog. USA President Obama just got one for his family. Mr. Genosse decided to surprise us with a dog that had not been announced. The dogs were out on the beach at Dogland at 5 in the afternoon.  I saw the dogs onn the beach, and then I learned in chat that there was a new breed. I hustled to send all the VKC Open Chat members a notice. Before I could even hit the send button to send my group the advisory... the beach was full. Within 15 minutes of the dogs arrival, Vitolo Rossini had two beautiful "Portie" shirts made and distributed them to everyone on the beach. He showed me privately his Utube video, but told me it would not be set for public view until 2 hours after the dog was released. It was a fantastic video - check it out on utube! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0E9Y0lBW9bc&feature=channel_page
and for those who havent seen all of his VKC shows check: http://www.youtube.com/user/VitoloRossini
(My favorite is the Old English vid!) By 8pm, the signs at Dogland had been changed, to reflect the new breed's presence, and there was a Utube VKC "Portie" video playing at the dogland theater. The Landmark to Dogland reflected the new dog on its picture.. Everyone in Rhoda sported "Portie" shirts.
200 Porties found homes before the release day was out. Everyone there was impressed at the classy service provided by the Dogland Support staff, as each new dog owner got personal attention. Mr. Genosse made a couple of surprise appearances. Finally, my budget stretched to the limit.. I emptied my virtual wallet, and added to my canine family.

In the grand style that he has become known for, Vitolo Rossini hit another home run for team VPS. Supporting creator Enrico Genosse,
Vitolo organized a campaign to popularize the Old English Sheepdog. Through literature, video UTube releases, flags, and high quality shirts,
"The Dogfather" (Vitolo) has made known, Enrico Genosse's work. On the morning that the dog was to be released, I was one of over 2 dozen people there waiting to buy my own. Enrico Genosse was right on time, and the dog was released. Due to Vitolo's Dogland reputation for service and support that goes on 24/7, and is the best to be had, people flooded Dogland for 24 hours. Some only came to see the exciting event that Vito promised, others to buy dogs. I spoke with Vito about the day. Over the 24 hour period, Dogland had over 900 people visit, and well over 400 new Old English Sheepdogs were adopted by loving owners!
So many new members to VKC Open Chat Group, have brought their friends to support my only choice of dog parks... Dogland. All of these new dog owners are attending Vito's classes, and are now anxiously awaiting  Enrico Genosse's next creation. They all wait, to see the next VKC dog, and to come to Dogland park for it's release!
 I raise my paw to you Vito, all I can say is a loyal "Woof"!

Congratulations to "The Dogfather", Vitolo Rossini! Vitolo has become the owner of the Dogland Park at Dogland, in Rhoda He has also obtained almost all land surrounding the Dog Park. In his usual fashion, Vito joined the lands and has created the largest Dog Park area in SL. The park adjoins beachland, and the Dogland Training Area, for over 60,000 sq. meters of fun and beauty. Feed Ducks, see sea life, there is lot's to see. The place is newbie friendly, and Park Owner/ Trainer extraordinaire Vitolo Rossini gives each visitor his personal attention, and invites email contact and questions 24/7. There is no charge for supplies, or classes. Your dogs can also be trained fully, as you are taught completely to master the dog, again at no cost. Vitolo supports the work of Creator of the dogs Enrico Genosse, and I will tell you, that he has created the BEST Dog  Park atmosphere in SL. I wrote my earlier blogs praising Dogland. I said it was a great place. If you are a dog lover... Dogland is now the ONLY place to go. Vito has rounded up the fastest and most caring staff at the park. They wear the tag "Dogland Support" , so look for them when you need help. The team is handed picked by Vito, and is made up of  ready to help members. Danny06 Aya(VKC Proven Trainer),  Daena Whitfield(Dogland Support),  and Kailin Omizu(Dogland Support),  Crimson Tizzy(VKC Proven Trainer)  & new Dogland Support person, Opal Edman along with a large team of "Dogland VIP's" are always willing to help. (And here , a special thanks to Likestobe Held- group Chat enforcer, and "Answer  man".) To supplement VKC Dog's latest update Vito has added sailboats that all can use (dogs can swim behind)... and swim animation balls on the beach that allow visitors to swim with dogs!(the swim machine on beach is free for all to copy) Dogland has a magnificent agility course! Visit sl's premiere Virtual dog trainer, and sl's finest Dog Park, You will laugh to think that you went elsewhere before!!
Go have some fun, and tell Vitolo that "Dog sent you"! 

  
In speaking about VKC, I have not given much blog space to the one man who has done more to proliferate interest in the VKC Dogs than anyone else... Vitolo Rossini. "The Dogfather" as he is called has de-mystified the dogs, and training and spread the word of how fantastic they are to all of SL. He has freely shared all of the vague nuances of virtual dog ownership with all SL residents that show interest. Vito, as he likes friends to call him teaches 2, hour-long classes every Wednesday, to any resident that wants to learn. The classes are exciting and well organized, and Vito will repeat the class during the week to any who ask(even if it's just one person) IM's can be sent to Vito to get any type of dog help 24/7, as he has made himself 100% available to all, by setting up an email alert at home. Toys.... The best dog toys in sl can be found at Vito's place, and he will give anyone a complete set of various styles of dishes and beds and 27 VKC scripted toys FREE of charge. He offers scripted beds & speciallly scripted doghouses to all at no charge also. "The Dogfather"'s latest offering is the most amazing of all. 2 hours after a special request, Vito released his VKC HUD v.3-c. It is a HUD for all VKC dogs. This HUD has an unbelievable 32 functions (and a secret 33rd!) The buttons are marked with the dogs "instincts" , and with most of Vito's most popularly requested commands, that he didn't want the dogs to do as random tricks! The device is enhanced by a "good dog" and "bad dog" button for easy reinforcement..and as an added attraction..touch the outside frame of HUD to get your dogs to give you "help". Although the HUD is offered at X Street SL and in world for L$75, Vitolo will pass his creation, at no charge to any dog owner who asks for one. Here's to the most unselfish, kind, and generous man in the dog world. Thanks Vito for being there for all of us, and for freely sharing your time, knowledge, and the fruits of your creativity!
   And from me Vito, thanks for accepting co-ownership of the "VKC Dog Owners Open Chat" group. the day that you agreed to help my group, membership doubled overnight.
