I know this is a total long shot. I used to have a cocker spaniel file made by a friend named Bronwyn back in 1998. It was for Petz 2 and then it was converted to Petz 3. Would anyone by chance have it. I tried to contact Heldenberg Petz Archive since they had it in their archives, but I have not heard anything (even tried sending a facebook message to who I think is the right person) and posted in the Petz Archival Collaborative and Petzcord discords. There has been no success.
Below are pictures of my pups. They have long been lost to time, but I was looking at the pics and really would love to have the file if there is even a small chance that someone has it.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed (although I'm doubtful ).

What a cute file! It looks fairly simple, probably could be recreated. I haven't hexed in many a moon, but I believe someone else here could easily handle it. I often have thoughts about missing it, and I realize how much I have forgotten, that I use to know off the top of my head. :{

Hi unforunately i do not have this file myself. But i did try to remake it for you if your interested in the file or files please let me know . I replaced the mutt ears on both files with the poodle ears for the second version i have edited the ears slightly to make them longer. Ive been wondering whether i should do the legs more poofy haha. The only thing i was unable to do was find the exact same texture that was used sorry. V1 V2 You miiiight be able to make a super tiny version of the texture if you use the images she took! It might not be quite right, but would be close.
I REALLY like the versions you made though, those are SO CUTE. ;-; I'd totally love them as well, if you'd be okay sharing them...
---
EDIT: For the texture...maybe like this? (It's a link to the bmp/texture, since Proboards doesn't allow .bmps) You could try using that and see if it looks good! Got it directly from the image of her pup in the bow!
Edit2: Actually testing it out myself, it doesn't look very good. I'm toying with it a little...
Edit3: I can't seem to get it...it's so weird! The original file is using shades of 40 for the light spots, but the majority of the texture appears to be 49. But if you put 40 and 49 together on a texture, they blend to the same shade...so it has to be using something else, but I can't imagine what! There's a way to reconstruct it, I'm sure, but it's nearing 5am and I'm too tired to figure it out tonight. xD Let me know if you want me to continue tinkering with it, or maybe one of you guys can get something that looks about right!

Thank you that would be awesome if you could get the texture to work. Ill see if it will work for me as well. Im definitely happy to pass the breedfile around ill send them over to you . The only thing i cant figure out is why the eyes are giving me a crazy cookie monster look when i put a bow on them when there adults in the picture section of the carry case.

LOL I don't know, some Petz do that and I never really knew why...but honestly that's a bonus to me, because it makes me giggle xDD
I'll see if I can get the texture to work...no promises I can, but I'll see what I can do!

OKAY So I can't QUITE figure out what to do with the texture. It seems in-game, 40 and 49 will merge to the same shade, and there's not a lot of other cream colors I can use in place of one without completely changing the color of the texture. I tried several other things, and this is the closest I can get to the original texture, but it's still missing some small flecks of color and isn't exact, but it's the only one that looked remotely close enough.
Since Proboards doesn't work with .bmps, I'll link you to the new texture image here or you can get it on my site, under For You/Downloadable Textures, and it's the one titled 'cockertextbig'
BUT! Here's how it should be used to look right. Make the base of your dog (or whatever color you're giving this texture to) the color 47. Then, in PW, when applying the texture, make sure the 'Texture Argument' is set at "Color tex. with ball color"
This is about what it looks like then! (Also, meet my new brexed boy from V2 of the file, Yolie! <3 )
This is Khuni, from V1 of the file, also slightly brexed! Thank you so much for sharing the file, and I hope you guys are okay with the texture. It's not exact, but everything else I was getting looked so drastically different. I'm sure there's a way, and someone can probably figure it out, but that's as far as I can figure it out xD

I'm honestly not sure what Bronwyn did with the texture. Because my friend Sara would get weird colors when she would use the paint brush on them. Still looks so close! I love it.

CatCreature has also edited the texture on the second version of the file i made if your interested in that one to . Ah, I didn't edit the actual breedfile because I'd have had to figure out variations and I'm not too familiar with that yet. I just brexed a .pet file I adopted from your breed. But I told you how I did it, if you guys want to alter the file with the texture I recreated!
