Creating New Breed though Cross Breeding
So i have have breed one stallion of the Calviana Breed. I have breed him to other mares and have a 50/50 mix. My stallian wont live long enough to breed him to the 50/50. How mant generations would it take to get to a pure breed?

Re: Creating New Breed though Cross Breeding
About four, if I remember correctly, but that's if you breed back to a pureblood every time. If you breed exact 50/50 every time (and don't add in a 50/50 with a different breed), you'll only get 50/50 children. If you breed 50/50 together where the second breed is different for both of them, it may take seven to ten generations until it gets back to pureblood.abby0500 wrote:So i have have breed one stallion of the Calviana Breed.

To keep your stallion around longer, choose an acceptable Grade mare that still fits your requirements and produce a half-breed. It will have only the calviana as it's breed and will still work as a 'calviana pure' for recipes.
Plus, it may (I haven't tried it however), shorten the generations to get back to pureblood.
