Help Picking New Lead/Breeding Male

Help Picking New Lead/Breeding Male
Posted 2021-05-25 10:59:53 (edited)

(I'm on mobile, sorry for typos/layout in advance! I'll fix it when I get the chance later.)


As the title says, I'm looking for help picking my new Lead/Breeding Male. I know they don't have to be the same, but this time I want them to be, just for a lot of reasons.


Theoretically, I can have one be leader and one as breeding male, depending on votes, I just. Really mostly want a male leader, and breeding male, at this point, tbh


I have three wolves to pick from: all NIB, and with okay-ish stats I can definitely work with. But, since they're going to be a breeding male, and I'll be spending GB either way, I want to see other people's opinions of what's worth it!


They all have their pros and cons that I'll list out, along with everyone's votes.


The first is Blaze.

wolvden.com

Pros: She's a T2 already, and I think she's kind of pretty. I can earn the GC to RMA or get specific markings for her if need be. (Also I think her "sociable" personality fits for at least a breeding male)

Cons: I will have to sex-change her. Not exactly "end of the world", since I have the GC, but I want to make sure she's worth it


Total: 5



Next is her sister, Briar.

wolvden.com


Pros: Basically the same as Blaze's, with the extra bonus of being a breed-only base. When I checked to see how many Blonde breeding males there were, there didn't seem to be many, so, that's a plus?


Cons: Once again, same as Blaze. Sex-change, maybe adding markings. Her stats are also the lowest of the three, but, once again, can be raised pretty easily, I think.


Total: 1



Finally,  we have Dust

wolvden.com

Pros: He is the only male of his litter, and has the highest stats, so that would be less work in both those areas. I feel like he's more for those who like natural looks!

Cons:  He's the only T1, so he would need to be base-changed, probably to Chert or Siquoq to keep with the look. Idk about markings.


Total: 1




Feel free to vote, and leave your opinions!

Blaze would be my vote. Rust is a really pretty base and goes well with their markings.

Ordinarily I'd suggest holding out for someone with higher base stats (at least 400), but since they're rare heritage Gen 2 wolves it may not matter as much. Also the stat difference between the siblings is pretty negligible, I wouldn't worry about that.

Thanks! Normally I would wait til their stats are higher, but my current alpha is over 6 and and half, so I'm kind of pressed for time. >.< I didn't even realize it til earlier today!


Edit: Vote counted

nice woofs! i like how different they look despite being siblings. my order of preference is blaze -> briar -> dust. definitely one of the girls though, i think dust is super cute but i wouldn't want his gray marks on a bunch of pups. he'd be wonderful in a pairbond with another natural coloured wolf.

edit; plus...a base changer is 10gc while a sex changer is 3gc lol

In appearance-wise, i think Blaze would be the way to go

Thank you! Tbh the girls were always my main two choices, but I know some people prefer natural looks, so thought it couldn't hurt to include Dust!


For some reason, I thought they were the same price, so thank you for pointing that out!


Vote counted!

Edit: Counting Oxblood's vote as well!

They are all gen 2 so equal on that. The stats are so close I wouldn't even consider them. 

The 2 girls both have black inuit unders so they each have 1 RMA/breed only mark. The boy has none. 

The girls both already have T2 bases, but Briar's is breed only. 

I'd go with either of the girls. I think it depends too on what some of your favorite bases and color groups are. I personally love muted color group so I  vote for Briar, but if you like warm medium bases Blaze would be a good choice.

(sorry for the late answer, life got in the way!)

Thank you Snowcat! I do have a favorite/preference, I think, but I also didn't want to put them as breeding male and nobody want them? Especially since I haven't kept track with what people like or not! ^^;


Your vote has been counted!
