Hello, it's me again!
I'm just wondering if there's an easy way to see the exact genetic make-up of a pet? So far, I've been using the GenePoolz tool, but when I go to look, it only shows me the parent's genes (both from the AC) rather than the specific attributes of the pet I've chosen, so I can't tell which bits of each my pet's got, if that makes sense?
Would I have to breed the pet to discover their genes? Or is there a simpler way?

Genepoolz shows the parents genes because thats what was combined to create your new pet, so that is the new petz specific gene attributes for the newly bred pet, all petz will always carry one set from mom and one from dad - so breeding the pet will not help you identify, because the new resulting pet will again have a set from each parent.
But you are correct that Genepoolz doesn't tell you which bits of each gene set is presented visually/physically (phenotypically) for your pet. So you basically just have to visually identify which parts in each of the gene sets your pet has - so if one gene set says mutt body, and the other set says dali body, the only way to tell which your pet has, is by looking at the pet and determining which body type it is (dali would be skinnier than mutt for example). Most parts are pretty easy to determine, like head, ears, tail - but some like feet or body may be more difficult ofc. Other than visually comparing the genes in Genepoolz to the pet, and learning to identify the different breed body parts, there is currently no other tool to help do this.
Reflet is working on the next version of Genepoolz which I *think* will show you what your pet phenotypically expresses from the genes, but it isn't out yet and I'm not sure the timeline on it, could be a while.
