To me, one of the most fun things is to take out a trait that I haven't bred in years, and match it with some newer traits to bring it back into circulation. It's also advantageous to have a good selection of "traited up" older traits from up and down the domininance levels, in order to move traits around. I use my favorite combinations on highly domininant furs (or whatever trait I'm working with), and repeat that combination on favorite furs, etc., at various levels on the dominance charts. This way, I have cats traited the way *I* like waiting to help "trait up" new traits, while simultaneously adding new traits to my favorite lines.
I do the same even now. I've gotten to a point of doing a "most dominant" and "super recessive" lines. Keeping both going during breeding season to bring in new traits as they are listed. I love some of the new traits to trait up my old lines but it can be challenging to get just one new trait that I want to put on my old and/or more dominant lines without all the more recessive ones when they come out.
