Technical Breeding Tips and Advice

[anna Acanthus]

To develope on starter to starter breeding; i've had up to 7 traits show this way, so i do it from time to time on the first breed just in case i get very lucky and have 2 with very recessive eyes or fur lets say ... but this happens rarely and it's in no way to be recommended in general.
Also if a few traits do show you have no way of knowing which starter holds the shown and which the more recessive trait or maybe can be the same trait so in any case you have to start all over with traited kitties. On the other hand you will have a better idea of which traits to use against these starters.

P.S i hear you loud and clear Sara and second this.
If there's a pedigree for a kitty that claims hiddens and you don't yet know how to read them then get someone to help you. If theres no pedigree ask the owner to provide, if owner does'nt comply, DON'T BUY. If claims for hiddens that don't show in the parents then ask to see the pedigree of a sibling which proves the presence of said trait.

In general; when in doubt get help from someone who's been breeding for six months at the very least, preferably a year to help you out, before spending money on an expensive kitty.
In fact once you've been around for a while you'll get to know the breeders that you can trust on word, and who don't make mistakes or cheat customers. EVER.
