Please feel free to look through my pack, but I'll put who I'm most considering here. I'm split between Pine and Bees. Pine is an NBW Serpentine with triple Fern, white eyes, and four marks altogether, one of which is Ducat Merle (ignore that they haven't been sex-changed yet). Bees is a G2 Tombac with four black markings and ice eyes. He's not an NBW, but he's the product of a now-retired pairbond who look to have about ten offspring living. I've chosen these two because they're my highest-tier, lowest-generation woofs, but I also have a G3 Losna and a double merle T2 NBW. Any and all input would be hugely appreciated. Thank you |

And while I'm here, I should mention that I have one of Bees's siblings! This is Ballad, who came from that pairbond's previous litter (I sold the owner a NBW Tombac I befriended and as part of the deal, I would get a Piasa pup from the pairbond). I've since customized her to make her very stripey, but as soon as I saw Bees I knew his look was familiar. |

- Pine, being an NBW, is going to be relatively low-stat by stud standards all his life (under 1000) unless you make him a lead and do a lot of bonus stat grinding. - Bees is also fairly low-stat, and (just my personal preference) I'm not a fan of black marks on tombac - they look good on him at 100%, but will probably come out lower opacity on pups and look dirty/muddy. - Lovell is higher stat, and losna is one of my fav bases (generally my go-to when I'm not trying for a particular breeding outcome). Although he's g3, none of his parents are related to anyone in my pack, and they're not big-name enough to turn me off studding to him. |

Yes, sorry - Lovell is the one the broken link goes to. Also, just today, I got my first-ever chased NBW in Explore! Here they are - a Wulfenite with five markings, nothing super-special, but pretty cute, especially with some opacity adjustments (in my opinion). Wulfenite is a more common base than either Serp or Tombac, though, which does make me |

Again, imo, any of the 3 would work! |
