Just going to point out the rules here, and this includes "bumping." Although I suppose I have to say thanks since I just glanced over this at first because "someday" and missed the post by jorb.

I know loftar can do it!! Just look at the world he's created.
As a point, I'll send folks to the beetle breeding mini-game from A Tale in the Desertas an example. One guild's image gallery from telling 4: https://www.atitd.org/wiki/tale4/Jade_Scarab#Pictures. A similar thing could be done with dog breeds if the time is taken to develop certain things. Question is how much time to dedicate to it, as simply using a fractal texture for the skin on a beetle isn't practical with a dog. I didn't play too far into it, but a game that came out in the late 90s with a couple sequels over the next 5 or so years, Creatures, featured this sort of thing. Breeding could generate different colors and textures. The big highlight was the interactivity and "machine learning." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creatures ... ame_series)
