Do you do it?

I've never retired any but I'm looking at my animals that are store store with no offspring and I'm like will I? So someone else tell me they do it and I'll feel better haha

If it has no offspring and I don't plan on ever doing a retirement breeding I would 100% retire it. 

I agree if they have no babies and are store I could see retiring them. I have plenty in my retirement go but I do keep them around just in case I need a mate and what not further down the road that I could do a retirement breeding on.

however what I HATE is when people KNOW their animals have offspring and lines from those offspring and they retire the animal anyway. Which to make makes that entire line worthless. Could just be me but I don't like seeing a deceased animal, ect.

recently I've had to end lines because people retired the parents, grand parents, and so on. If you don't want them anymore.... ASK the person or people that have those lines if they would take them. I am 1000% sure they will.

just wanted to add, that if players don't want to dedicate an account to retirement or just don't want certain animals anymore, I am(and I'm sure other me too) more than happy to host them in my own retirement account to preserve the lines.

If I have a store that has no lineage and no offspring, then yes, I usually retire them. The only thing that might stop me from retiring stores is if they have close to or over 2mil points because that means either myself or someone else put a lot of money into training them. So I'll save them in my retirement for a potential retirement breeding sometime in the future to reboot the line.

I hate seeing decreased animals in my lines too. So I always check animals before I buy them to make sure no one has "destroyed" the lineage.

I don't like retiring, I love hoarding everything. I've used store horses on there for retirement breedings. Although, I've seen some in my paint lines that are deceased, and I think that's irritating, but I keep the lines going regardless.  If I see lines in the HA, from players that had disappeared, I add them onto my retirement account.

I could see if you had a line you've been working on for years and someone retiring.. why stop at that point haha...

I guess that's why I like to keep my own built lines  separate from any lines I bring in... just for that reason.. but I'm weird xD
