Why are people breeding Snows to be messy AF?

[jocosa]

 I've been wandering the AP, just to see what's there and so far every Snow I've picked up has been 12 gens or higher. It's last years release, I thought they'd be one of the few to have 2gs in the AP this year.  :/    Is this a thing, some messy massbreed event?

I mean look at this poor baby. 23rd generation egg.

Out of the 15 or so I've picked up so far, 14 have been like this. Super high, train wreck lineages.

I can breed my own, but always like to find the closer to hatching ones via the AP.

I would have loved to have it if it had named parents. I threw so many pretty lineages back into the AP because of unnamed parents! :(

Well, it has gained one parent name thus far! :) I guess a lot of people breed first and name later.

(There's also a dragon on my scroll named Please Name My Mother. Not to mention one named That's Not How To Spell Morphing, because mom is named 'Morhphing Jadite.' *wince* It has worked for me once, I will say! I have a dragon named That's How You Spell Epitaph who used to be named That's Not How You Spell Epitaph...)

Yeah, but on dragons which are years old? I don't name all my dragons right away, but it never takes more than a couple of months to get around to it. With unnamed Holiday dragons I always think that the user had one/two/three/four years time to name their dragon, and if it isn't yet then it probably won't be named in the future.

Haha, with all the weird names on DC, spelling error is not the first thing I would think when I saw one of those names, but alternative spelling because the name was taken already.

Nah, not if the Holiday is years old. If it's the first time they've bred that common, though, maybe it just didn't get named till they bred it? It's weird to me, but does seem to be how some people operate.


Well, of course I checked; "Morphing Jadite" is available (as was the 'epitaph' name, way back when), so it's a spelling error! Which I suspected anyway, because the random extra H was a weird choice from a variant-name perspective, but I did confirm my guess.
