About Clear Eyes

Lone Spiritor's picture

Can we get some final words on eyes please? Clear eyes that is.

Clear eyes.. is this a trait or not a trait please?

I have been breeding for clear eyes since beta, putting same color eyes together to get clear. I have all but 2 of the eye colors breeding and all my family lines are clears, apart from the odd one or 2 changing color now and then, they are pure clears.

I started breeding for clears due to it being said several times, by Malevay Studios, that 'it all starts with the eyes'. But... many breeders don't seem to care if a meeroo is clear or dusty eyed, all that seems important are coats and other traits.

I saw at a recent meeroo auction that 'clear eyes are NOT a trait' and was very disapointed that my long breeding clears may well have been pointless with many days wasted searching markets for perfect mates, personality, size and eye color wise. Looking at my best coats, (that I bought due to non of mine producing their own), and the low end coats in my herd, I'm now wondering if it would have just been best to throw what ever with what ever from the start and see what came out. Those who did seemed to have done far better at getting high end coats :(

That being said, I will still continue to bred for clear eyes because they are beautiful :)

Thanks Team
