Terms: definition I personally use to avoid confusion
Individual stat = the singular stat of a wolf’s five types of stats. In this case, a wolf have five individual stats (strength, speed, agility, wisdom, and smarts).
Parents’ total individual stat = the combined same-type individual stat of two parents. For example, if father has 103 strength and mother has 64 strength, then the parents’ total individual stat for strength is 167.
Grand total stat = the total of all five individual stats of a single wolf. For example, if a wolf has 103 strength, 196 speed, 136 agility, 103 wisdom, and 185 smarts, that wolf’s grand total stats is 723.
Parents’ grand total stat = the total of all five individual stats for a pair of breeding wolves.
Earlier in the month I came up with birth stat prediction formula that predicts the individual stat of a puppy as = parents’ total individual stat x 20% + (range of 20-30). Since then I’ve been collecting a fresh set of birth stat data and I would like to share my results thus far.
Parents’ stats are recorded at moment of breeding. Puppies’ stats are recorded at moment of birth.
The data excludes largest puppy and runts.
Statistics Update 1: Results November 21, 2020
The graph is plotted from 245 individual birth stats (49 puppies). The lowest parents’ total individual stats is 150 and the highest is 463, with a mean of 232 and a median of 230. The range of parents’ grand total stats ranged from 956 to 1,501, with a mean of 1,176 and a median of 1,120.
The line of best fit for the data is y = 0.2046x + 25.721. This means that the average pup’s individual birth stat is equal to 20.46% of its parents’ total individual stat + 25.721.Â
I have received feedback on the top-up range (20-30) for my formula, so I also calculated the difference from the actual individual birth stat to 20% of parents’ total individual stat.Â
 Although most top-up falls in the range of 24-30, there are still a few that falls in the 21-23 top-up range. As such, I feel that a wide range is still necessary to capture all the possibilities.
In addition, I’ve noted that one of the individual birth stat actually fell on 31 and none fell on 20. This could be the way the rounding is coded into the system, and a better range may actually be 21-31. I will wait for another of stats before officially amending the formula.Â
I will post an update every time I have about 50 new puppies. Once again, feed back and your observations are welcomed. I have a thread in the WD user-created guides section as well.
