Frog Breeding
I noticed that sometimes when I breed two frogs I get a different (third) breed out of it. I've started to take notes to see which combinations get you what. Anyone else doing that and willing to s...

Just finished my frog collection and decided to post pictures of them as a key for others to see what they still need to complete their collection. I hope my explanations will help frog breeders out there!
I discovered that there are 5 groups of patterns, and 5 main colors, for a total of 25 frogs. So, there are the same five main colors in each pattern group. Knowing this should help you breed for the frogs you need, so try concentrating on selecting combinations for color and pattern. Some results could be random, but it sure helped me.
For example, I was trying to breed for the Dirtwhirl Frog. Here in this thread on first page, it said to try breeding a Spotted Leaf to a Striped Dirt. I tried that five times, even switching the order, too, but never got my Dirtwhirl. After noticing the patterns and colors, I realized I'd probably never get a "whirl" pattern from crossing a Striped to a Spotted. So then, I tried crossing a (plain) Dirt to an Eggplant Whirl and finally I got my Dirtwhirl Frog on the first try!
NOTE: There is NO Spotted Surfer Frog, which is mentioned in the first post.
So to break it down: Dirtwhirl Frog
To get the color I needed: Dirt = (olive) and plain, no pattern
To get the pattern I needed: Eggplant Whirl (Whirl for pattern; eggplant color is purple, so result could have been another Eggplant Whirl. I could have also tried to use another whirly-patterned frog.)

- The five patterns are: Plain, Striped, Spotted, Whirly, Wavy
- The five colors are: Green, Yellow, Olive, Purple, Red
Here are the 5 pattern groups, each arranged in this color order: Green, Yellow, Olive, Purple, Red.
I have named each frog for further identification.
PLAIN - Leaf (green), Sunflower(yellow), Dirt(olive), Eggplant(purple), Heart(red)
