The first slot with this pet is bug somehow, whenever i change zones or re log on this character, the primary pet slot switch from whatever pet I had to the juvenile fern hound, i also managed to get it twice by switching it on slot 2, whatever, with a port i had the juvenile fern hound dupliced on slot one.
I’m playing a sylvari, not sure the race matter, but i also have another druid without pet troubles ( human ).
