Lengthy Lines - Making the Longest Spirals and Stairsteps

[Zonnedauw]

Heya, I'd like some advice from y'all veteran LL breeders. I picked up a lot of 3g checkers in the Stuff the AP week, and I think I want to try and breed a spiral line, but instead of alternating male/female CBs I want to use all the checker 3gs.

My questions are first of all what a lineage like that would be called, and second, what would be the best way to start it? Just starting with one checker seems obvious, but I feel like that would make it less symmetrical?

Interesting! I'm not sure if there's a name for it, the lineage terminology thread may be a better place to look or ask. I'm not sure the best way to start it either, but this is the lineage builder I usually use if you wanted to try to model it. Good luck!

I was going to say pretty much the same as Edenello. I would play with it a bit in the lineage builder and see what you can do. I have never attempted anything like that.

The lineage terminology page unfortunately didn't have this on file, but the lineage builder helped a lot!

 

I think I figured out what to do with the middle, I'm going to have to breed that first tho, before I start the spiral. This lineage was smaller in my head, but I think it looks pretty cool!

Echoing others, I don't think there's a widespread term aside from stair/spiral, but I have seen some stairs done like this with 2Gs, and I think of them as "Tall Stairs" because they look like staircases with very high, deep steps.    You could call it a "double stair" (for 2Gs), "triple stair" (for 3Gs), etc. I guess.

I Am Starting/Continuing a Lineage!

Forum Name: zippuzzle

Scroll Name: zippuzzle

Generation Number Goal: 26

Starting Dragons & Starting Generation: Wistful Roses x Wistful Reflections

Lineage Group: Wistful Wisteria

Dragons Used/Pattern: Wisteria stairstep

Notes: I am finishing my lineage from the 100 Day Breeding Challenge. I took a break for a bit to focus on some projects I neglected during the challenge, but it's been a personal project goal of mine to make my second-ever dragon the matriarch of a long line of flowers and I am excited to continue once holiday things settle again.
