I'm curious, who are all of the big-named wolves that people often want to avoid in family lineages? I often see the 'big 4' or some such title, and I'm just curious who those wolves are? |

Uh, thanks for asking because ... I have the same question. Hope someone can answer. |

Leaderboard/Stats: Michael Scott, Faelor, Shadow (Sunfall is Michael Scott/Shadow lineage, Faelor is a G2 but he's the source of almost all of his relatives.) Other leaderboard, including lines not currently on the board (not generally avoided unless someone is avoiding *all* leaderboard lines): Jay (G1)/Enigma/Oleander, Emperor and by extension his G1 dad Sol, Grimoire and by extension his G1 dad Itai. Merle: Penobscot and Orion are the big ones but I also see Konziquences around quite a bit. Not sure what gen they all are off the top of my head. Albino: Melanism: The Moof (G1)/Ghost at Twilight, I also see Korosho and Toboe pretty often but I'm not really super familiar with mel wolf lineages. Only certain about Moof being super common. T3s: These aren't all necessarily "avoid like the plague" lines, though I'd say Michael, Shadow and Faelor are getting there, since there's a lot of studs related to them. |

I've been trying to pick a stud for my first go at breeding. So many of them are related to Michael Scott/Michael Skarn, or Shadow, that I've resorted to discarding all the studs with those lineages. If nothing else it narrows down the field, I guess. Parhelion and Mor'du are other names I've seen around a lot. And Penobscot seems to the the ancestor of most of the merles. There's also like... 4 different studs named "Oleander" that I've come across just to make thing extra confusing, lol. |

@Jill For what it's worth you can sort out wolves with identical names by checking the IDs |

I'm sure it's not comprehensive but I know there's at least one thread listing common studs. I feel like I've seen others but this is the first I could remember/find: |

Would Sango be consider one? He has a lot of pups. |

Yeah, I think Sango would now count as a big stud - he didn’t have 1000+ pups when that list was originally written. Possibly also Beauregarde, since he’s also now hit 1000+ - although, given his age, it’s his pups you’re more likely to encounter as studs. |

IMO Sango would count as big among wolves in general (like its v easy to find wolves from less prolific studs) but medium/small among T3s, since it's fairly hard to find a t3 with Sango as the only t3 ancestor. There are quite a few up and coming base changed foxes though which might make him less small by comparison. |
