Posted February 21, 2014 (edited) This is really pretty. ...And yet I get the feeling that trying to make a checker of it is a bad idea. I'm working on an alternating "checker" started with purple.It's no worse than any other nebula/dorsal lineage-- if you don't mind double jeopardy This one is moving faster than my PB dorsal alternating Need one more red dorsal from male P Nebula x Female P dorsal and I should be able to get to 5th gen soon and a new pretty 4th gen tan x brown copper thanks to miaou for the dad and the inspiration Edited February 21, 2014 by dragonpuck Share this post Link to post
Posted February 22, 2014 (edited) This is really pretty. ...And yet I get the feeling that trying to make a checker of it is a bad idea. Maaaaaaaybe. Considering how hard it can be to have success with breeding holidays, I was surprised my one CB alt sweetling catch cooperate on the first try with a prospective mate: http://dragcave.net/lineage/4xrMP. I'm trying to decide how to continue two of the sweetlings I got. I have this guy and this guy. I could trade for red dorsals from pink sweetlings but it seems like it makes the second gen too dark. I was thinking of something like this pairing instead. Y/N? Edit: And since the egg is sick, I screencapped it. Edited February 22, 2014 by ytak Share this post Link to post

Posted February 22, 2014 I'm SO proud of my dragons! After a LONG time, they finally gave me this!! http://dragcave.net/lineage/OXdW8 I understand you completely http://dragcave.net/lineage/63tQj Share this post Link to post

Posted February 23, 2014 (edited) Congrats everyone here on getting pretty babies!:3 and here's one I'd love to show off ^^ It took me and my friend about a year to finish it! YAY! and one more thing to announce: I've just bred this 5th even gen Dorkface (the lineage includes both Dorkfaces - The Original Midas Dorkface and Midas Dorkface II, and Dusk dragons) - if anyone's working on the same checker or just wants to adopt this one - please, shoot me a PM to get the teleport! requested Edited February 23, 2014 by Ae0nian Share this post Link to post

Posted February 23, 2014 I have a bit of a random question. Is anyone doing a project involving male BBWs and female nhiostrifes? I'm considering doing a lineage with them but it's one of those things where I'd really need to see how it looks first. I was just thinking that the blue on the male BBW might match well with the nhiostrife's. Or perhaps male nhiostrife with female trihorns...hmm. Not that I need any more projects lol, even my common ones are slow going these days. Share this post Link to post

I'd personally use the pink since pinks are a similar shade to the pink sweetlings, and you could make a very pretty alternate checker that way. Share this post Link to post
Posted February 23, 2014 (edited) @ Nerruse just started a project with the female trihorn and male nhiostrife. all i have are 2nd gens and they are hatchies so far. they are near the top of my scroll on the first page under current projects. you are welcome to look if you like.

Posted February 23, 2014 @spring_dragon They do go together really well, don't they? I like the poses especially. Thanks for showing me! That's definitely going on my list of possible projects. And while I'm here, I just picked up a gorgeous sunsong x gold 5th gen checker of out the AP. Claim my eggs/hatchlings! Share this post Link to post

Posted February 23, 2014 Oh my! What wonderful lineages are being shown! Share this post Link to post
Posted February 24, 2014 So...I decided I'm just going to go ahead and do both lineages. Male BBW x female Nhiostrife and Male Nhiostrife x female tri-horn. Because I really needed more projects. That brings me up to 4 active projects, 1 upcoming and 3 on the backburner. Not to mention all of the concepts I have floating around...ugh. So many projects, so little scroll space. I guess it won't be too bad, considering what a pain some of my projects are. I got 3 wrong breeds this morning from my nocturne x sunset pairs. =/ I did get http://dragcave.net/lineage/Bu2XK for my Hurricane lineage at least. To think, I've been focusing on common lineages because I actually thought they would be easier than rares. Share this post Link to post
Posted February 24, 2014 (edited) Hope, it will color right!! BTW @oddsoxdi, alliana1 and ElayneDragonLover Grats on getting Golds! Seems like it will be hard for us to swap (I can see some of our dragons are related to each other) Still, if I can help you with this checker - do let me know! As for me, I was gifted this 3d gen Gold, and so I'll need to find an unrelated 3d gen Neb (and then - an unrelated 4th gen mate for it...) But maybe there're more people here working on this very checker? (Green Neb/Gold) and willing to do swaps? posting it here first as I'd prefer to give it to someone from this thread this 4th gen Red checkered with Gold males is looking for a new master. Please, PM me to adopt it! (as we aren't allowed to post teleports here ) Cheers!~ Edited February 25, 2014 by Ae0nian Share this post Link to post
Posted February 24, 2014 (edited) OK, my friend who is doing gold/red nebulas got a nebula. She wants gold, because she's not sure she will be able to get to a 5th gen, so it's on my scroll. It alted red overnight - can anyone use this for their project? http://dragcave.net/lineage/JphnN Once she gets her gold, she will remove the "II" and "III" from the parents/grandparents names. It's just how I showed her to keep track of the generations while the work is in progress. If you can use it, please PM me GONE - to one of my favorite people Edited February 24, 2014 by daba555 Share this post Link to post
Posted February 24, 2014 (edited) One of my favorite things is coming here to get ideas for checkerboard combinations I've never thought of--you guys are all so creative! I'm especially impressed by those with the patience to do nebula checkers. Really gorgeous with the golds! I've been trying to focus on valentine's checkerboards but have run into refusals (she has refused two mates in a row, she refused her first mate and the friend breeding a replacement gwyvern hasn't gotten an egg yet). I do have a mirrored double pseudo checkerboard, which is quite a mouthful to say and definitely isn't the cleanest lineage ever, but it was my only idea when someone gave me the 3rd gen female: http://dragcave.net/lineage/ZfiUd Edited February 24, 2014 by miaou Share this post Link to post

Congrats on getting an egg Very happy you like it! I owe eggs to both of the people who gave the 3rd gens (I can't breed either of those myself) as well as a couple of other as gifts -- but I'd be very happy to add you or anyone who might want a sibling to the list. Just drop me a PM. Share this post Link to post
Posted February 25, 2014 Now that there are more options for two-headed breeding I am working on a mixed lineage. I just got this egg this morning, which represents the top quarter of the plan. The next section will be a mirror of the CB generation, but with original Split and Opal in the second gen. The bottom half will duplicate the top half in the CB gen and mirror the 2nd gen.

Posted February 25, 2014 Thanks, Ae0nian! Sending green vibes. I just bred this http://dragcave.net/lineage/46deT I have one more Purple Nebula x Rosebud pair, which didn't give me an egg, but didn't give me a refuse either, so I'm counting it as a success Share this post Link to post
