Breeding Guide
Disclaimer: This is only a breeding guideline to breed Wajas together, NOT a necessity. Players are free to breed how they wish, however this guide will give tips on how to breed Wajas with stronger markings.
Method 1
Basics: 1. Make sure you have a pretty Waja with a small amount of markings (for this guide) and a love pear available. Is the Waja 20 days or older? Good. Now we will proceed to the next step.
2. Go to the Waja Search and look for a Waja that has similar markings to breed with your Waja. Remember! Check the owners rules and make sure you're not violating any by requesting the breeding. The rules can be found under the waja's picture, and sometimes in the cave description.
3. Check the lineage up to the grandparent (that is three gens up). No parents the same? Good. (This is to prevent inbreeding)
4. Use the color mixer tool on the site by clicking help - color mixer. Now find the texts of the two parents, and make sure the result is pretty. To do this, open another tab in the custom demo and see what the pup will look like. Remember to combine all the markings, and when you're done, and happy with it, click breed. A request has been sent to the owner.
5. Pups are born in 5 days. Enjoy!
Here is an example of a what a breeding might look like if you have done the above steps.

Father- File:Untitledsamplespitz.jpg
Median pup- File:Untitledpuppiesamplespitz.jpg
If an Ancient Love Pear (ALP) was used, then the pups will be a close median pup of the parents' colors. If you use a regular love pear (LP), then the colors of the base and markings can range anywhere between the mother and father's colors.
Method 2 - Making profits
Another breeding method.
1. Grab a a waja you like. It's better to start with not many markings, but go wild, if you please.
2. Use the waja search under world - waja search for a similar waja. For this method, make sure you click "Selling - yes". For the rest of the criteria, select "all breeds", click "breeding - yes" and add the markings to the appropriate boxes. If they don't all fit, that's ok. To have better opacity and increase your profits, make them all equal to 100%.
3. When you find a waja you like, make sure it's very close to your waja marking-wise.
4. Check the wajas' mixed colors. To do this, have open 4 tabs on wajas. Make one the color mixer by going to help - color mixer, and the other tab the custom demo by going world - custom demo. The last 2 tabs should be your waja and the waja you want to purchase.
5. Put the markings on the custom demo in the female waja's layering. Now, in the color mixer, for each marking take the father and the mother's hex code and put them in the appropriate place. When this is done, add the middle color to the designated marking on the custom demo. Do this with all markings, coat, and eyes.
6. When you're all done with this, if you like the waja's combo pups, purchase it. Breed the two wajas together, and in 5 days, you will have a new litter. You can sell these for prices around similar wajas on the waja search, or you could open a thread on the forums asking what other users may think of it, and what they would pay.
7. Remember, if there are any pups you would like to keep, do so! They are yours!
Breeding in the markings
OK, this job is a toughie, and may take a while, so you'll need patience.
1. Get a Waja with your favorite marking. Make sure it's at 100, or this will not go as well for you. Now, you find a waja of the opposite gender on the Waja Search, this time, we want a markingless.
2. You know the drill, breed with it. When the pups come, don't be upset. They will be fades.
3. Age pear one of the pups, or wait until it's 20, and breed it with a waja with the marking you chose. Repeat step two with these wajas.
4. A few generations later, you'll have a perfect marked waja!
(I know you're saying "That's pointless" It's not. This is an example. Say you got an Aerial with 60% belly and it was a nice pretty one. You could make it even prettier by upping the opacity layer. Or if you got a markless waja, and didn't have the money to do a dye project, you breed in the markings)
Breeding out markings is as simple as breeding them in. You just get a waja with all the markings yours has and breed it with all of the markings but one. Inbreeding- Noo! Inbreeding is a kind if breeding where you breed puppies from the wajas parents or relatives. Yuck! Not many on wajas respect it, which is why you should always check both wajas lineages when breeding.
Selling Advice:
If you are trying to make money, you should consider which types of wajas are popular, and which are not.
There are many markings that are "overused". A great example is the "belly" marking. There are many, many wajas with this marking. So many that almost everyone has one, thus making them very difficult to sell. Unfortunately, because they are so common, mates are easy to find.
Even IF a waja has a full 100% belly marking, it will still be nigh impossible to sell.
Try to bred wajas with less common markings and marking combos, and people will be more inclined to buy them (because they are different and refreshing).
Commonly over-bred markings
-The Wind/Stars combo
-The Belly/Cheetah combo, especially on arials and banes
-Cheetah by itself
-The Belly/Husky combo (see what I'm saying about the belly marking?) especially on normals
-The Belly/Ocelot combo
-Wind by itself
-Kitsune(comes from a dye) by itself
-Blaze(comes from a dye) by itself
-Heart Cape by itself
-Giraffe by itself
-Wajas with NO markings(i.e. markingless)
-The panda marking by itself on Africans or Normals
-Camo wajas (camo upper/camo lower)
Common Terms Used in Breeding
LQ: Litter Quantity. Can be increased by using Normal Pears. Litter Quantity increases the chance of how many pups are born in one litter (up to 4 per litter).
MG: Male Gene. Can be increased with male pears. MG increases the chance of males being born in the litter.
MU: Mutation Gene. This can be increased by using Strange Pears. It increases the chances of mutations on pups.
In%: Inbred Percentage. Shows the % inbred of a Waja, up to their corresponding grandparents.
IBP: Instant Birth Pear. Fed to a pregnant Waja for an instant birth (no pregnant delay).
LP: Love Pear. Used to breed Wajas. Owner of the female supplies this.
ALP: Ancient Love Pear. Used to breed Wajas with the old breeding script to produce median pups.
MP: Male Pear. Increases male gene.
SP: Strange Pear. Increases mutation gene.
NP: Normal pear. Increases LQ.
Studs/ Studding: This is the term used for male wajas that are available for breeding. Most users call them Stud's or that they have wajas "Up for Studding". This is sometimes put in a user's name, like Sales- ex. 'Wajauser- STUDS!'
Reverse Breeding: Also known as RB's. This term refers to a female waja that is available for breeding. So, if you are using another user's RB's, this means that you are breeding your male to someone else's female, and they send you the pups once they are born.
