Thanks Kayla
Just a little addition for Evolving to what Bree & Kayla said as well, as well as posting here and asking for help don't be shy about hitting any of us up inworld. I, and I know several others are always happy to take a look and see if you are heading in the right direction.
Please don't give up testing. Everyones contribution counts, and its why we are down to 8 eyes and 4 furs, oh and that pesky new tail, left to be placed. We are zooming in on the new eyes faster than ever before so don't give up yet we are nearly there

Hi Evolving, what Bree said is very true. Everything I learned from breeding I learned on the forum because people took the time to explain things to me. The important thing to realize is there is nothing wrong with being wrong -- as long as you don't mind being corrected. Some people mind and it makes it hard for them to learn on the forum. I remember I really messed up when I was trying to find a super-recessive hid (when odyssey frazzywave was new and the most recessive) and ended up getting a double genesis fur. I was able to take that lessons on how to get something out and shake off two dominant furs and create a blow-by-blow account for someone who was just learning breeding

So nothing is wasted. Something that is very frustrating now, may turn to good use later and almost always teaches you something. The best breeders I know always takes it as a plus when they find a hdden even if it is the wrong one because if you know your shown and hidden, you sometimes automatically know what a box must have as it's shown and hidden. And those of us who carefully track our hiddens never trust a "pure" that we might buy because we still have to check for the hiddens (50-90% have hiddens: the 50% is for when you're checking just if one trait has a hidden; 90% if you're checking all traits that at least one will have a hidden)

If you want someone to check if something passed, a number of people are helpful here. If it's an eye or fur or whatever that doesn't have a thread, you can start one on it - you can start a thread on any breeding question, not just dominance testing ones. Check here for threads on specific traits:

If you don't see one on the one you have a question on, start it. Hopefully eventually there will be a thread on every trait but it's a long way off yet.
