My alphas still possess my first starter's blood on one side, usually on the female's and I buy a 3G or less male to be my alpha male for the rest of its life.
So currently, my alpha female Void is the 5th generation of my alphas.
:P
The alphas will have a new successor when she or her mate dies.
If anyone does anything similar, please comment so I don't feel like a freak doing the most stupid thing.
Edit: I also breed them once a year when they reach 15, so their youngest offspring can last longer, even if only by a year or two.
Because some people actually still regret selling their original alphas, killing them for space, not breeding them for their offspring, if it's their first account, etc.
