Posted January 9, 2014 I have a question. I was gifted this beauty and I'm wondering if anyone can help me with a mate? I'll be happy to breed something in return of course. Thank you for all the answers! I really appreciate them! Share this post Link to post
Posted January 9, 2014 (edited) I need opinions. As mentioned before, I'm trying to build a mate for this Holly. Now I've done some lineage sketches, and I'm not sure about my original idea anymore, so I need advice: Since I can't mirror the lineage, my thought was to copy it, but with all-reds from 3rd gen on. But the result plan looked clumped, so I changed it to plan b. But now I'm wondering whether the Hollies in between don't actually make it less pretty, since the Holly pattern isn't that regular anyway... So, what do you guys think, would it look better to go with plan c (the result would basically look like this sibling's offspring, only with Bright Pinks instead of Rosebuds)? Opinions? Edited the mistake lilysally spotted. Edited January 10, 2014 by Lastalda Share this post Link to post
Posted January 9, 2014 So, what do you guys think, would it look better to go with plan c (the result would basically look like this sibling's offspring, only with Hollies instead of Rosebuds)? Opinions? I suppose you meant "with Old Pinks instead of Rosebuds"? I think it would look quite nice. On the other hand I was wondering about using Heartseekers to replace the Hollies in either a mirror or copy mate. Not sure how it would look though, as I can't play around with sprites (and of course not sure if the limit on Vals will be lifted). Share this post Link to post
Posted January 10, 2014 Anyone needing a 3rd gen gold x Yule? http://dragcave.net/lineage/VUMiB PM if you want it. Share this post Link to post
Posted January 10, 2014 I Have been trying to get my 3rd gen black from alts from framed shadow walkers a mirror mate with graves instead, but somehow I like that idea very well, too-a little bit uncommon-but what do you think? Share this post Link to post
Posted January 11, 2014 (edited) @ xdlugia, purplehaze, nooey, and Lantean_Pegasus Thanks for the feedback! It was all overwhelming in favor of retaining the alt. I admit that dragon is one of my babies (being my only 2nd gen from a spriter) and I've wanted to use it for while. And I'm looking for some more feedback. I snagged this 3rd gen snow angel from the AP and was going to toss it back until I realized that it was from a spriter's alt. I'm unsure the best mate for it. I want to compliment it, since copying it isn't possible for me, but don't know what to pick. I can do something like this or this but neither seem right. Maybe something like this?

Posted January 11, 2014 @ ytak i personally like the third option. i agree that the first two just aren't quite right. Share this post Link to post
Posted January 11, 2014 I haven't seen much discussion about what breeds are popular with the Arsani Valentine dragons. Besides the always Gold/Silver choices, what does anyone have plans on doing this year for breeding? I want to do something nice and popular in hopes of trading them. Share this post Link to post

So I'm also interested in what people suggest as mates for them. Blacks, maybe? Blacktipped? Share this post Link to post
Posted January 11, 2014 i have seen pairings with waterhorses, maybe nhios. i think black and white might also be popular. personally, i try to stay away from pink on pink (didn't work with the sweetlings that i caught). i like a lil contrast. i'll have to see what i can grab out of the AP.

Posted January 11, 2014 I was complaining here some time ago about royal crimsons breeding. I'm happy to present my second moonstone from RC ever Found this beauty in the AP. I'm thinking about breeding it with sweetling from them. What do you think? I need opinions. As mentioned before, I'm trying to build a mate for this Holly. Now I've done some lineage sketches, and I'm not sure about my original idea anymore, so I need advice: Since I can't mirror the lineage, my thought was to copy it, but with all-reds from 3rd gen on.

Edited the mistake lilysally spotted. Difficult question, both look nice... This probably won't help, but maybe will be some sort of inspiration. When I was looking for a mate for my holly I was thinking about replacing hollies with reds, until I found this solution. Share this post Link to post
Posted January 11, 2014 (edited) Ytak - I think Amazons suggestion is a winner . Grammy - I'm not a huge fan of them either, so wasn't planning anything. Though I do love gray and pink together so might try Fogs with them. irercha - congrats on the Moonstone, some of these commons are just being plain stubborn at the moment. Please send alt vibes for this Unfortunately the Black/Gold Wing didn't alt, hey ho maybe next time. Edited January 11, 2014 by nooey Share this post Link to post
Posted January 11, 2014 (edited) http://dragcave.net/lineage/8h6bF http://dragcave.net/lineage/CoYGH <- Colored correctly!!!!! http://dragcave.net/lineage/EsDnV I'll be doing a combination with the 3 along with an eventual 5th gen double nebula checker with sunrises and moonstones (hopefully an offspring from http://dragcave.net/lineage/li5ZL x http://dragcave.net/lineage/f2ZjZ ) . Not quite sure on who to pair with who so any suggestions would be appreciated. Of course if no one has any I'll just mix and match >:] Edited January 11, 2014 by Sarah864 Share this post Link to post

I planed to breed them with blusangs: First and Second Share this post Link to post
Posted January 11, 2014 (edited) @ nooey - sending alt vibes your way. That will look awesome. @ Sarah864 - mix and match sounds good to me. Those are some very lovely nebula checkers! @ irercha - your Moonstone gives me hope that I may one day get a Royal Blue from my RB x RC pair. And I like your breeding plan for the Sweetlings. @ Chita - O.O I love that combination for the Arsani! Edited January 11, 2014 by purplehaze Share this post Link to post
Posted January 11, 2014 @ purplehaze - maybe RCs will start behaving soon And thanks for sweetling feedback. @ nooey - sending alt vibes As for arsanis, I'll be looking for this lineage. Although blusang looks splendid. Share this post Link to post
Posted January 11, 2014 Oooo those Blusangs do look good......Fog...Blusang.....Fog .... Blusang, don't know now. Think I'll give them both a test drive. Share this post Link to post
Posted January 11, 2014 Thanks guys ^^ I'm looking for people who will be wiling to blood swap for my Arsanis when Valentine will come. Share this post Link to post
Posted January 12, 2014 I'm also wondering what to do with all my valentines. I need a plan for: arsani heartseeker Val '09 rosebud sweetling Yep! Just about everything. I have CBs of all, though only one '09 and Heartseeker. I've promised offspring of the CB heartseeker and one rosebud, but the others are all still wide open. I'd like to trade/ gift off all of my offspring and get unrelated dragons in return. I'll be away that week so probably no AP catching for me- I'll be able to get online but it will be in a hotel so I think the internet will be pretty slow. I'd love to know everyone's ideas so I can start asking for things. @ Lastalda: If you like the reds then I think just going that way with the bright pinks works. However, maybe a different red on red combo would look good too? Heartseekers and crimsons? Crimsons and reds? Just a thought. Share this post Link to post
Posted January 12, 2014 @ Sarah864 - mix and match sounds good to me. Those are some very lovely nebula checkers! Thank you! I guess mix and match it is. Share this post Link to post
Posted January 12, 2014 (edited) I'm thinking of breeding my Arsanis with Nhiostrife and Daydream, and this pairing with my 2G Heartseeker. Anyone got ideas for what I should breed with this lovely lady though? Edited January 12, 2014 by TheCompleteAnimorph Share this post Link to post
Posted January 12, 2014 Anyone got ideas for what I should breed with this lovely lady though? Well, you couldn't go wrong with a white from a white X rosebud pairing. But, yeah, that deserves something *nice*, like a white from another alt (not necessarily a rosebud), maybe an alt sweetling or something. I know this is the even gen thread but starting a stairstep would work, too. *shrug* I like what looks good and there are advantages to one project over another. Share this post Link to post
Posted January 12, 2014 (edited) Anyone got ideas for what I should breed with this lovely lady though? Maybe male moonstones or water dragons in the first gen to offset the blue? I'm starting a new checker. Sunstone x Speckle-throat to 5th gen. So far I'm on my way to 3rd gen. http://www.coup-detat.info/NDER/Lineage.ph...en=2&mate=7GY3C Edited January 12, 2014 by Daydreamer09 Share this post Link to post
Posted January 12, 2014 Well, the things I've bred her with in the past would be: Chocolate Sweetling Guardian, Sunrise Tinselkin, Rosebud Guardian, and black Sweetling stripe. I'm not really sure which if any is best. Share this post Link to post
