The Breeding Simulation is an in-game tool used to fertilize Dog Eggs using the DNA of two adult Wobbledogs. Once fertilized, eggs can be hatched in the Incubator. The Breeding Simulation can be accessed by clicking on the Egg icon in the bottom-left section of the GUI.

## Use

The Breeding Simulation is used to obtain fertilized Dog Eggs through the breeding of two adult Wobbledogs. It will display the potential offspring of the two selected Wobbledogs, allowing the user to either crossbreed dogs within the litter or select a final dog to fertilize the egg with.

### Dog Selection

Once clicking the egg icon, the user is greeted with the Dog Selection screen. The screen presents two selection slots for adult Wobbledogs, which can be selected from the list of portraits on the right. Wobbledogs can be selected from their pens or from storage. Below the portraits is the amount of unfertilized eggs a player has. Once two dogs are selected from the right, the player can select the green "Breed" button above the console, where they are redirected to the simulation.

### Simulation

Once the player chooses which dogs to breed, they will be taken to a pen similar to the ones the player can place and use. The walls and floor are black with a neon-green grid pattern. Several dogs combining the genes of both player-selected Wobbledogs will be spawned into the pen. The GUI on the top of the screen lists the generation number, stability percentage, and a prompt to either crossbreed two dogs or pick a final dog.

The player can crossbreed dogs until there is only one dog left, which qualifies as a "Tiny Litter." Occasionally, two crossbred dogs will spawn a "Massive Litter." Picking two dogs with the most differences in traits will result in larger litters. Later generations will increase the chance of Mutation as Stability goes down.

### Stability

Every generation of simulated Wobbledogs has a different Stability percentage, which describes the solidarity of the litter. The stability meter can go down to 0%, but cannot drop any lower. Players are allowed to breed at or past 0% stability. Breeding at 0% stability will complete the "Unstable" Goal. Lower stability may produce less Wobbledogs, but increases the chance of Mutations.

### Breeding Cutscene

    Once a player selects a Final Dog from the presented litter, a cutscene will begin to play. Firstly, a "Rune" of random symbols will be generated, then the screen will fade to black. The player is presented with a white void, from which a stone-carved, mechanical dog sculpture will rise. A pedestal holding the unfertilized egg will appear in front of the machine. The dog sculpture will extend its arms, and hold both the player-selected dogs, one in each hand. The dog's heart-shaped eyes will then expand and contract and its tongue will loll out wildly as its ears flop up and down. It will then smash both dogs together above the unfertilized egg. After the cutscene is over, the player will be presented with a screen that says "Fertilized egg acquired."

## Trivia

* Tom Astle, the creator of Wobbledogs, has stated that the Breeding Dog doesn't have an official name.
