Thank you Nightingale! You are very helpful. i'm glad you spend time doing things for us.

Sakreeno - My recessive merle boy is called Mosu (he's given me the merle pups) and the other recessive boy is called Voski. And the brown merle boy is Marlowe. Just put the cost at whatever you think is fair :)

Nightingale - A little update for your list, if you're making one, Awolfpaw has a couple of merles :) 

I finally bred a Homozygous Merle male! This little pup will be used to help breed more of that pattern within my stables, but I may accept breeding requests.

Congrats Sylviianel ^_^

I have just managed to breed a female grey merle :) She's double merle, but I don't know about her colour yet (I ran out of vermillion....again!) If you want to breed them in hopes of a merle pup we could try that - with the pup coming to you when grown, of course :)

Wonderful! I can make a list for you too if you'd like! I can easily whip one up. I can just copy/paste (but that will be long, so I'll PM that unless you want me to post). I don't have any merles but would love one. It's no problem, I can easily search to make it easier :) And I can add those :D

I'd like to see a list of the Lykos who have it as either dominant or dominant and recessive.

Yeah, I'd like to see a list too :) It'll be nice to see who has what available for breeding especially.

If I can breed any more merles Nightingale would you be interested in one? I can offer you first refusal on it if you like?

I would love one! I have a recessive female merle just hatched today! http://beastkeeper.com/pet/423818

I'll send a list tomorrow, sadly I can't do it from my phone! :) feel free to send me a message so I have a reminder in my inbox.

I now have 3 titles to help organize my Lykos into projects. If one of my Lykos fits into a skin one they're being marked for that project, although they may also fit into Adept Breed.

• Merle, which will consist of any with a Merle gene (positive or recessive) - it has 8 pets so far.
• Fox, those with the Fox skin - currently has 2.
• Adept Breed, Lykos with 0 negative genes and 8 or more positive ones. The new Lykos growing into this won't be bred until they reach lvl 50. It'll become more exclusive, requiring more positive genes, after a few good generations of breeding. - 11

Nightingale - Congrats on her! She's gorgeous! Feel free to try her with any of my available males. Hopefully pup will pick up the merle gene and keep the Mama's colour! I haven't seen many black merles. I have another brown merle today! A boy, so if you want to work something out for him that'll be great :)

Sylviianel - Wow, you're organised! I don't have the patience for most of that, although I have split some off now into groups so I (kind of) know what I'm trying to do with them ^_^

Woohoo! Bred another Homozygous Merle, another male. A red one this time, and he also fits into my Adept Breed project with 0 negatives and 9 positives. He'll be available for Merle breeding after he reaches lvl 50.

Aww that's great Sylviianel! I haven't many reds....actually I think I may have only seen one! When the gorgeous boy gets to level 50 may I request a breeding?

Breedings with him will depend on the female. I don't have his offspring to be poor due to bad genes being passed on to him. I've already seen several degeneration 2 Lykos and it kills me a little inside wach time I see them. People inbreeding Lykos, I think that's become a new pet peeve of mine.

(There are 96 degen 1 Lykos and 23 degen 2 in the game that can be seen through searching pets with the ajax-pet-search. Thankfully there are no degen 3 yet, but with how things are detiorating I'm not sure how much longer that'll last.  )

Ebisu, my first Homozygous Merle pup, will be grown by 5:00 Game Time. Since he doesn't meet my Adept Breeders standards (he has 1 Negative, Deaf, and only 6 Positives), I think I'll start breeding him instead of training to lvl 50 first.

Yeah, the inbreeding thing bugs me too :/ .....but I do have to hold my hands up to the fact I have done it :( I sometimes forget to check back far enough when choosing breeding pairs :/ That's where my mistakes come from...I don't do it deliberately for genes or whatever. I try to SPSB the ones I end up with to take them out of the game, unless I plan to keep them.

Here is my handsome merle brown boy! http://beastkeeper.com/pet/420778
