LF: Suggestions on who should be my next lead male/breeding male!

So, my lead male/breeding male is getting old here... and I have a few in mind to take his place.... now... which one(s)...

Trusting Dawn

We've got Trusting Dawn, his eldest son in the pack, also his highest stated offspring in the pack...

As much as I like his character becoming lead, I would like to keep him as a scout because his stats allow him to explore all biomes, I will definitely need this when his father passes...as I'm pretty sure everything has to be rediscovered once your lead dies? I am also considering him for breeding male. I may change his eyes to white if that's the case... and definitely make his skin and nose pallid and claws white.

Blushing Shade of Cliff

Then we've got his eldest daughter in the pack, Blushing Shade of Cliff. I love her a lot and think she would make a great leader too... she has decent stats. I recently bought a male wolf to be her mate, because she has never had a true pair bond.

Dusted Abyss

And we've got Dusted Abyss, the second eldest son. I LOVE him, but he just might not have it in him to be a lead (character/roleplay wise)... I'm considering making him the breeding male when his father passes.... mostly for his looks, his stats aren't low but they aren't high like Trusting Dawn's... I'm thinking maybe Dusted Abyss can take Trusting Dawn's place as breeding male when Trusting Dawn passes, as he is a bit older...

Peak of Pathway

This is Peak of Pathway, the second eldest daughter of my current alpha, and the eldest of his and his recently deceased mate, she was an herbalist. R.I.P. She is the youngest of all the candidates, and beloved as well. She does have the lowest stats of all the candidates.

What do you think? I am open to suggestions/advice. I am also new to posting in the forums so forgive me if the setup of this isn't super convenient

i would make blushing leader and trusting stud

I think it’d be best to have trusting Dawn as a scout/breeding male, while Dusted Abyss becomes alpha and Blushing Shade of Cliff is next in line ^^

Trusting Dawn has the best marks and stats. Dusted Abyss is really good looking, but I think Trusting Dawn will sell easier. He also has a nice pastel look and would look nice with more RMAs.

Thank you all for your input! More is welcome!
