So.

Everyone knows about the Big 4 and most Clean Breeders understand that, on top of inbreeding, these Bloodlines are undesirable and will disqualify your lion from being considered clean by the majority of Clean Breeders. However, there have been developments in the Clean Community since this time, namely with new lines popping up who rival the Original Big 4 in commonality within Bloodlines.

Namely, this is the lion Valiance. As the Creator of the first Clean Clan and founder of the No Big 4 playstyle, I've been asked many times over the years if I would add Valiance and his bloodlines to the four officially. However, the playstyle has grown well beyond me for me to declare something like that in any "official" capacity.

That was four years ago and, here and there, I still see people asking this question. Should Valiance and his bloodlines be considered and avoided as Big 4? Allow me to propose a answer to this question and the question of future "Valiances".

Prolifics. Someone who is Prolific is a person who has produced many offspring. In the context of Lioden, this is a Non-Big 4 Lion who nonetheless has a bloodline that rivals the four in legacy. If you avoid such lions, you would desire No Prolifics or NoPro(s).

How would Lions that are Prolific be determined?
Again, Clean Breeding has grown well beyond my ability to determine anything except for the original big 4 lions. This (as well as the name of this particular group of lions) would be up to the community.

Of course, I'm interested in hearing some alternate names or if the community has already decided on a name for these popular NB4 studs.

***NOTE: There is no actual problem with prolific lions. That's just a fun bit of alliteration :).
