Unlocking at Pet Care Hobby Level 12, Pet Breeding allows you to raise unique generations of cats and dogs. By cross-breeding pets with different coat designs, you can unlock rare genetic patterns (like Calico or Spotted coats) and inherit helpful behavior traits. This guide explains breeding compatibility and statistics.

Breeding Basics & Compatibility

Before starting a breeding cycle in your home plot kennel or clowder, verify the requirements:

Compatibility: Breeding requires two pets of the same species (e.g., Cat + Cat, or Dog + Dog). They must both be in the Adult life stage.
Mood Check: Both parent pets must have a mood rating of Delighted (Green). Feed them delicious snacks and groom them with a brush before starting.
Nest Crafting: You must place a Breeding Nest furniture item on your plot (blueprint available from Builder Bob for 15,000 Gold).

Genetic Coat Pattern Probabilities

When breeding parents with different coats, the offspring’s coat is determined by specific probability tables:

Parent A Coat	Parent B Coat	Offspring Common Coat	Offspring Rare Coat (5% Chance)
Solid White	Solid Black	Tuxedo (50%) / Grey (45%)	Silver Tabby
Orange Tabby	Solid White	Ginger-White (80%)	Calico (Cat only)
Golden Retriever	Black Labrador	Dark Gold (60%) / Black (35%)	Brindle (Dog only)
Spotted Siamese	Solid White	Light Spotted (75%)	Pointed Chocolate

Inherited Behavior Traits

Puppies and kittens can inherit behavior traits from their parents, which grant passive buffs when they accompany you around town:

🐾 Scavenger: 10% chance to find extra wild flowers when foraging.
🐾 Playful: Stamina consumption is reduced by 5% when walking.
🐾 Loyal: Remains close to your avatar even when sprinting, increases pet affection points by 15%.
🐾 Alert: Warns you with a bark when rare insects (like Atlas Moths) are nearby.
