BREEDING
The First Step:
** NOTE: To breed your Guardian, it MUST be at least at level 2.
Pay attention to the price of the breeding!
Naturally the more Rare the Guardian, the more expensive the breeding will be, simply due to the likelyhood of Rare Traits that will occur.
For 'Common' Rating Guardians: 250 Gems
For 'Uncommon' Rating Guardians: 300 Gems
For 'Rare' Rating Guardians: 400 Gems
For 'EVENT' Rating Guardians: 100 Runes
For 'Legendary' Rating Guardians: 600 Runes
Make sure you have enough space in your stable BEFORE you attempt to breed!
If your Guardians DO succeed, and neither you or the other owner have enough space they will immediately be put into the Adoption Pen and open for anyone to purchase them!
First Step:
Locate a breeding pair.
Avoid inbreeding!
Be careful that they are not immediately related (not related within visible lineage)!
They can be two Guardians of your own, two belonging to others that you have permission to breed, or one of each.
You may only breed when both parents have the Breeding Badge posted on their award walls.
If you are sharing a litter, please work out all deals with the other owner.
Make sure there is a mutual understanding of who receives first pick, etc.

Second Step
Make sure approval has been posted on the current thread by Artisan Noteworthy, by the owner of the Guardian if one or more of the parents does not belong to you.
Then, fill out the form on the same tab and wait for genotypes to be given in reply.
If the litter is shared, you must reply listing who the Guardianlings will belong to.

Litter Sizes
The division or sale of a litter of pups must be decided amongst both owners. The group will only settle disputes in which the deal was mentioned very clearly and specifically in the diary comment.
A typical Guardian litter will have anywhere between 1-4 pups, but there are various things that can affect the size of the litter.

Getting the pup {s} approved by admins
Now that you have a design you're happy with, and have double checked the image for any obvious mistakes (pay attention to background, hierarchy status, male parts, etc,) you must add the information you'd like.
Follow the instructions in Writing Information to find out how to do this.
Once everything is filled out, and you've placed the information into the description of the tab file, you may begin the process of having it checked by admins.
Firstly, go to Design Central, in which there are several options; you're going to go with the one that says "Design Approval." Post a reply following the instructions in the comment.
Then you wait. Please keep in mind that this may take anywhere from ten minutes to several days to a week and a half. It depends on how busy we are.
However, don't freak out if it's the latter; we will get to them ASAP! Admins may ask you for changes if it doesn't meet the standards, but don't be deterred or upset if this happens.
We try our best to be understanding, and if you think that one of our judgements was wrong, you're welcome to politely ask us about it, and/or provide reasoning for why you think it was wrong. Just please, don't attack us.
We are human and sometimes we make mistakes, so if you see something approved that your design was rejected for, we're completely open to taking a second look. If/when changes are asked for, keep the original stash with the comment.
Upload the new design to stash, and submit it on the "Corrections" comment thread.

Uploading
Now what?
You've corrected any alterations that admins have requested, and your design has earned sweet, delicious acceptance from mods.
At this point, it's out of your hands.
You've done all you need to do.
Your design will have been added to our upload list, and will be uploaded as soon as possible. Sometimes, birth certificates are not immediately posted, so don't worry if we don't add the default comments for a day or two.
This doesn't mean you can't use/draw the design.

Tutorial not informative enough?

Please feel free to comment in the Questions tab!
It seems like a no-brainer, but often there are frequent mistakes with writing the information description.
When doing so, always double-check to make sure that everything is correct.
If your pup's information is not correct, it may cause large issues later on if it is not caught by design admins in the process of reviewing.
For example, if your Guardian is missing lineage links, any future offspring may be subject to oopsies such as accidental inbreeding - as well as creating a mess for admins to clean up.
