Do you try to carry on lineages of AP finds?

[Susurrant]

I picked this one up from the AP and he made a great mate for her. I really like how their kids look.

[Merenwen]

not so much AP finds, as I don't hunt the Ap as much

unless looking for a specific thing

 

but any lines with a 'family name' I try to follow

[dragongrrl]

For me, it is a critical part of the game. Who is this egg, what is its heritage, what will match well with it? My biggest frustration is finding an egg with a pretty lineage, lining up a potential mate, then having it gender against its influence.

[Gluria]

If I find an egg with a special lineage, I try to carry it on.

But if it's a lineage without a visible system behind, I just try to keep it an even lineage.

I don't breed messy lineages anymore, unless I breed a BSA dragon to keep the offspring for myself

[emerald7fire]

I was looking through my guardians when I found a dragon that is related to the Heartless lineage! I forgot I had it, since my names all wiped out when I left for a while. I never thought to check the lineage.

 

For people that dont know: Heartless lineage was around when I first joined in December of 08. I can't remember if it was very popular or not. I thought it was...

[Lemniscate]

I have a harvest shimmerfail that has a really pretty lineage,but I obviously can't continue it.

[Vaati]

Yep

Like this one

 

It was an AP find, later on I got a him a mate and now they make pretty thuwed babies

 

 

 

Or this one, who later on got a mate, it's not perfect but it still looks good.

 

And I'm trying to get mate for their offspring but I still need a mate for this one in order to make a 5th gen egg.

Rarely, I usually don't have/not able to get suitable mates for my AP finds...

Except two of my favs, this: http://dragcave.net/lineage/EsByq

and this http://dragcave.net/lineage/12j3M

oh and this http://dragcave.net/lineage/SmloB

[Shlammy]

Hopefully if this genders right I will continue this one I got from AP http://dragcave.net/lineage/nH9cI

[Shlammy]

http://dragcave.net/progeny/nH9cI So far this one likes me Giving its first to my older sister, can't wait to try again, I love the lineage Edited July 26, 2013 by Airashii-Tsuki

[Vaati]

As I've said before, yes.

The dragons I've posted before didn't refuse and gendered correctly, thus making this:

That's gorgeous!

 

I carried on two AP finds together in a similar way:

http://dragcave.net/lineage/rsToi

 

I've also been trying to breed a mate for a nebula AP find for ever but it's taking me a while. Usually I'll try and carry really nice ones on if I can, and if not I have a spreadsheet for categorising my dragons with lineages in case I get viable partners for them in the future.

[LibbyLishly]

In a way.

 

If it's a perfect checker and I can conceivably build a mate for it, I do. That's what I did for this girl, and now they have a beautiful boy, among other progeny that I sent back to the AP. I do the same for perfect staircases.

 

In cases of breedfails and other general even-gens with no discernible pattern, though, I try to select mates that will at least look good with the colors in the lineage. If there are metal or holiday ancestors, I often try to make sure the mate has those as well. I love mating tinsel/shimmerfails together.

 

With second gens, sometimes I'll checker them and sometimes I won't. Depends on my day.

 

I do enjoy naming after parents wherever possible.

[catpaw]

I usually pick up low time CB from AP. However,if I found something interesting, I would like to continue the lineage.

 

http://dragcave.net/lineage/uE3SZThis guy was found in AP, and I happen to find him a perfect mate when I was viewing the trade forum. And yes, it feel good to continue the beautiful checker lingage.

[Crocodile]

I try to carry on lineages if I can, but I don't go out of my way for them. Maybe I will later on when my scroll is more complete.

[Dimar]

I usually intend to, but most of the time it seems like they just go on my list of "things I'd like mates for" and then I don't ever get around to it. >.<

[sh20000sh]

I usually don't try to carry.

 

Except this one http://dragcave.net/lineage/XqIip

One of its parents was from AP.

[SkyMet]

I plan to. I have some I'm keeping for that purpose (plan to get around to them after I get some of my own lineages going). There's some deepsea shimmerfails I want to try breeding together.

[Sunset42]

I usually plan to, but then I wind up either forgetting or not having a dragon I thought I did. Though I'll occasionally get a nice one that's the start of a lineage I've been meaning to start.

[Pippyspot]

If it's something easy to do, and doesn't include lots of rare cbs, I'll give it a go :]

[vivo]

I'd say no in most cases. Too much effort, except if they're stairs or spirals etc. I made an exception for my beautiful valentine '09 lady and her mate. This is what their kiddies look like -> http://dragcave.net/lineage/JaHoH The male was an AP catch. My friends over at DBC helped me breed her mate.
