The current rules is 1 point per breed, not pet. We were hoping it would encourage people to adopt multiple breeds, rather than lots of a single breed.

But if people would rather it be 1 point per pet, please say! We're very open to feedback for this! Making it so it's something people want to engage with is the biggest aim
