Sheet: Sheet1

Hi!  I hope you'll find this chart helpful!  Be aware that it's somewhat outdated, however, and doesn't list the newest breeds. | Unnamed: 1 | Unnamed: 2 | Unnamed: 3 | Unnamed: 4 | Unnamed: 5 | Unnamed: 6 | Unnamed: 7 | Unnamed: 8 | Unnamed: 9 | Unnamed: 10 | Unnamed: 11 | Unnamed: 12
 | A quick starting tip: Alt+Enter adds a second line to the same box.
 | I've provided this short explanation of how I use it, to give you some ideas.  But feel free to alter them to fit your methods.
 | First, the three sheets:
 |  | Breedables covers almost everything.  Any breed that can mate with other breeds is included here.
 |  | Specials is for the odd ones out -- exclusive breeding dragon, vampires, and any other unique breeds that come along.
 |  | Results tracks your breeding attempts.  If you want to see when you last bred a pair, or what happened when they didn't get an egg, it's very useful.  I've left a few of my records there, just to show how I do it, in case you're still looking for a simple way to record your pairings.
 | For the first two sheets (with the charts), I use a color-coding system, to make it easier to track outcomes when I'm looking for good pairings.  That part is explained at the top of the Breedables sheet.
 | I also add notes to quickly tell me about each dragon.  I've given some examples below, just to give you some ideas.  Perhaps my method will also work for you, or perhaps it'll spark a new method that works even better!
 | The example chart is not accurate, however, even though the codes given are in fact my dragons.  It is just to show some options in a compact form.
Add more rows/columns as needed, for extra notes
 | This row/column is for "long" notes. |  |  |  |  | CB parents | CB |  |  |  | Name, Aut unbroken
 |  | This row/column is for Bred/Not-bred/No-eggs notes. |  |  |  |  | BREED ME!!! |  |  | done | done | done
 |  |  | Short notes fit here | Females --> | Holidays |  |  |  | Commons (Seasonal) | PB | Thu-8 | IxW
 |  |  | Males |  | Holly () | V-day '09 (Nbru) | Snow angel (mqgJ) |  | Spring ([NAME]) | Summer ([NAME]) | Autumn (5Zvv) | Winter (Lc67)
 |  |  | Holidays (CB / Bred) | Holly () | XXXX | XXXX | XXXX
 |  |  |  | Yulebuck (tGr7) | XXXX | XXXX | XXXX
 | CB |  | BREED ME!!! | Sweetling (M2I7) | XXXX | XXXX | XXXX
 |  |  | Commons (Seasonal) | Spring (tzAf) |  | XXXX
 |  | done | Yules, Vday S | Summer (CmAY)
 | CB parents | BREED ME!!! | MxA | Autumn (AEeh) |  |  |  |  |  |  | Thuwed ==
 |  | done | DF-6 (Br-2) G | Winter (r1Ir) |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | DF ==
So, to explain the chart (Check the color-coding legend in Breedables for that part):
 | Yules, Vday -- These noteworthy dragons are in the lineage.  Decide for yourself which breeds are noteworthy
 | Thu-8 and DF-6 (Br-2) -- 8th gen Thuwed, 6th gen Dorkface (2 gens don't have the DF name)
 | Name, Aut unbroken -- The Thuwed name has been carried down, and it's an unbroken line of Autumns from the starting Thuwed to the current dragon (though mates may be other breeds)
 | G, S -- This dragon has a Gold or Silver parent
 | IxW, MxA -- Pure (rare x common) lines, Ice x Winter, Magma x Autumn.  I just use the first letters of the breed names, but find something that works for you.
 | PB -- Purebred, for commons only.
 | CB, CB parents -- Should be self-explanatory.
 | BREED ME!!!, done -- I still need to breed the dragon (or it's been bred but didn't produce an egg), or I have successfully bred an egg from this dragon in the past.
Those are just a few examples of what I use, to get you started.  You're of course welcome to note any other features you choose, in any fashion you choose.  But I find the abbreviations keep the notes short, and as long as you're consistent, it's easy to read them, too.  Certainly much easier than checking the lineage every time!
On my own chart, I have separate sections for CB and bred dragons, because I have so many of each.  That saves me note space, as well, since I don't need to record each individual CB.
You may also want to reorder the breed listings to match your scroll order, so you can find the dragons you need that much easier.  It is sorted roughly by color, to match my scroll, right now.
And I'm more than willing to answer any questions you may have, if you don't understand something, too!  Just ask! :)
