What we look for in a NightShade
While temperament and health are always a priority we are more interested in NightShades with certain traits and breed for specific features.
Color: While we do look for very dark colors in the NightShade's intended for showing we also specialize in Dilute and Albino NightShades as well all special patterns and mutations.
General Appearance: Elegant, compact, more feminine body structure(even on males), large dished ear crests, consistent tail crests, long necks and tails, thick short muzzles, glowing eyes
Size, Proportion, Substance: Taller, leaner, more elegant, but still lacking substance.
Head: Large green* dished ear crests, short thick rounded muzzles with little stop and a gentle slope, large wide set eyes with lots of expression.
Neck, Top-line, Body: Long and elegantly arched, smooth connection at shoulders, very slight roach in back, "waist" tuck at ribs, well defined chest, consistent green* tail crest, downward angled tail.
Wings: We intend to breed only for double wings but may in the future try to produce a wingless line. Primary Wings: Large, dark*, and very elegantly curved at the tips, the more curve the better. Secondary Wings: smaller set behind, always green*, predominantly straight out to the side with a slight down ward angle.
Legs & Feet: Close front stance, wider rear stance, slope to rear, well defined hips and hind legs, no towing or cow hocks preferred.
Movement: More elegant movement on the ground then usual. More of a hackney gate. Excellent flyers with wonderful maneuverability, speed, grace, and flawless landings.
Temperament: A bit cocky but loving and moderately easy to train, more attention motivated verses food motivated. Loving, cuddly, high energy dragons. Require a mild to moderate amount of exercise.
*Except in Albinos and Dilutes
