I think in breeding is over breeding.

I usually consider 15 LBC/MBC babies to be overbreeding but with the two painted coins it's kind of becoming a bit fuzzy.

I agree with SeIsha but I also think 10+ is overbreeding. I think 9 or less is fine but after that is a lot o~o But then again I'm a fan of breeding lots ;^^ >~> ~Kat

I don't think there's any problem with overbreeding, as it just means more people get to enjoy the pet that you designed. So its hard for me to say what number that would be.

I think its silly that people try to restrict how many can enjoy their work.

10+ is overbreeding

I think overbreeding depends more on the number of babies than the number of breedings....

I feel like after about... 10 babies, it's probably overbreeding...

I think overbreeding is really not a question of how many breedings, but rather of how many in a time period. For example: 8 in a month would be overbreeding in my mind while 8 in 2 years would not be.

10+ is overbreeding to me, but with the painted coins, you get fresh markings and palettes, so I could see the definition of overbreeding to go up with those 2 coins.

With the painted coins it's kind of fuzzy because they create entire new markings/colors. Lots of people don't want overbreeding to keep all the babies from looking the same?

Overbreeding I think also goes along with the breeding for profit thing. If you breed inside your lair and have a pet with 10+ babies but all the babies are kept in your lair, why does it matter if you've "overbred" the pet?

I think overbreeding should be something that each individual person is required to define in their rules, rather than something the site says. If a person doesn't define a specific # of babies/breedings as overbreeding then it's something that can't be enforced since they never specified.
Obviously would have to be a retroactive rule.

Also the question:
Does an overbreeding rule effect the babies of the pet you're breeding?
If a pet has an overbreeding rule and you breed the baby to something and then you breed THAT baby, does the grand-baby's breedings still apply or can you breed it as much as you want?

My opinion is not represented in the poll.

I think overbreeding is honestly up to whoever thinks it's overbreeding.

But I don't want it done to the point that I'm not sure I'm breeding a lineage where it'd be inbred.

I mean, there could be 8 of the same line Meep and they could be bred 8 times with another 8 Meep of the same line. That's not overbreeding.

But if you bred the same pair 100 times - (Will's orbweavers is a good example) - you'd have to make sure you don't bred to their "brothers" and "sisters" to avoid inbreeding. That's easy because they all come from the same parents and you can tell in the profile page. Suppose someone bred the 2nd gen orbweaver with a totally different orbweaver and so on... different parentages always... it soon becomes difficult to know that this 100th removed-generation's ancestors are Will's orbweavers

So I'd say overbreeding is when it becomes difficult to know if it's gonna be inbred or not.
