Breeding Projects: need inspiration lol

Okay I got some pretty wolves in my opinion and I have an idea of the pairings but the projects I'm thinking of and their outcomes make me wonder.

I have two wolves that if I breed them they look like pure colors almost like paint palette 🎨 outcomes but then I'm like on boy I don't know what's the odds of getting those outcomes.

So I guess I'm asking what are the odds as well as what are some of the projects you are working on?

Hope this is a good thread?

the odds for getting any wolves can be calculated by applying basic combinatorics. or you can just put them in demo and refresh a few times and see what's the approximate ratio of pups you like

i'm mostly trying to make bee wolves, fully pink wolves and goose wolves, not counting the projects i've starting hoarding wolves for but not trying to organize anything yet

As far as I know*, each color has an equal chance to land, making the odds for each dependent on how many colors lay between the parents'-- 1 in 3 will be a surer shot than 1 in 25. That's for each color "slot" individually, so your odds can be great or really poor depending on what you have to work with. Sometimes you can get lucky and get a fantastic result from a pretty long shot pair, but on average you shouldn't bank on that!

If you're starting a project for something that doesn't exist commonly enough to be sold on the flea market, sometimes you gotta start with pairs that are pretty far on either side of the project and just narrow them down continuously. It can be a real pain, but starting with as many pairs as possible will get you to the end quicker... It's not easy on den space, but it does also mean you are almost never without frog fodder! So pros and cons. :P

I'm working on quad sand and quad oak projects right now, as well as a longer-term (wider starting pair ranges) projects looking for black/oak/umber/bark, blood/sand/blood/cherry and black/white/cream/cream end results!

There are even-longer-term projects I'm doing (where I don't have full pairs or only have one longer-range pair yet) for carob/silver/mocha/cinnamon and tawny/white/ginger/silver (two unrelated coyote projects, because why not, I guess?)

Projects I've completed (color wise, some still need their final patterns) so far have been:

This oak/oak/pecan/russet

This clay/silver/clay/sepia

This quad cream

This russet/russet/seal/ebony

@Bone Copy thanks! I have been playing with the demo a lot. I love the idea of bee wolves. Pink wolves are trying to make their way into my breeding project because of Pebbles the pink striped wolf.

@Reave I love your wolves! So you're breeding for a specific look! I see I see. I wanna be a witness to your great discoveries. The Russet bottom right Wolf is gorgeous!
