I have finally managed to morph a Golden Sky Dragon, but its pedigree is awful! A mere 197, will it be worth my time to train it or should I attempt a better morph?

Well congratulations on getting a new Golden Sky Dragon Esperanza! Since training a pet to adult only takes a couple of days, providing you can be in-game enough to keep the training rolling along (especially at lower levels), I would recommend going ahead and training that critter up. I have a couple of Golden Dragons over 600 pedigree and I'd be happy to morph it with your Golden Dragon when it hits adult. That way you will be guaranteed to get a Golden Dragon back and it will get a pretty nice pedigree jump-- probably 200-300 points, hopefully. From there you could either train the newer one up and be perfectly content with it or we could morph again to give it another boost and mix in some higher ranked traits as well.

Sometimes just getting the desired pet/hybrid is the more tedious part and usually there are already other players out there that have really high pedigree pets of the same type.Then you can easily get the pedigree jump(a), while guaranteeing actually getting the "right" pet back-- excluding special hybrids that can't reproduce themselves. You may try for the Golden another 5, 10, 20 or more times and possibly not get it or get one with just slightly higher pedigree than the original, and in the meantime you could have already trained the original to adult and morphed it with a near max Golden Dragon, receiving a bigtime pedigree boost.

So, I would vote on keeping and training it, then asking another pirate and/or friend (possibly even one with a green samoorai suit with horns on his head) to go for a nice pedigree boost. And I'd certainly be happy to do that as I'm sure many others would as well.

No, no its not unloved or unwanted! I was going to keep it, since not only is it beautiful but it also took so darn long to get it! I just didn't want to train it if a better pedigree was possible by continuing to morph with the original parents!
And thank you, Valkoor, I'll 'pop in' on you one day soon with an adult GSD!
BTW her name is "Belle"

Chocolate is very bad for dragons, I'll eat it!

Dragons I know have a great love of stories, wine, and jewels. But since we only have yum in this world, unless somebody in the yakooza can find us some sake, I'll have to drink on her behalf. The news of keeping such a grand animal calls for the opening of my personal stash. Drinks all around! May she be blessed with many children who shine as golden as her!

Congrats to ya on the new, higher pedigree offspring. The offer shall, of course, remain steadfast and the "happy to help" part too.

Just let me know if you'd like to try morphing some time, once either or both hit adult. At 207, we should be able to jump up to 500+, using a 700 with nice grants/traits expressed that also are not in Goldie's trait line. Of course useful traits too.

Happy training!
