Hello and welcome to the Beginner's Guide to Second and Third generation pets!

Second Generation pets or "2nd Gen" as they are almost always called, are the babies of certain adoptables on the site. They will usually have certain characteristic's from both of their parents and their colorings will greatly resemble that of their parents.
Third Generation pets or "3rd Gen's" are the offspring from a 2nd Gen pairing. Traits from the parents, and the grandparents are sometimes passed down to the puppies. 3rd Gens are located in the 2nd post of this thread
How do I identify a "2nd Gen" pet?
That's a very good question, and one we get a lot. To easily see what pet is a "2nd Gen" and which one is not, take a look at these two pets below.

You can easily see "2nd Gen" written in red under "www.chickensmoothie.com" on the first pet
.

A 3rd Gen pet will have "3rd Gen" on the pets tail in Blue

When you first adopt a 2nd Gen pet, they will have different colored blankets, but the same colored blanket, will grow up into the same adult, thought sometimes this isn't always the case. So make sure to pay double attention to the 2nd and 3rd Gens as they grow

How do I get these "2nd/3rd Gen" Pets?
Every now and again, the artists or guest artists on the site will decide that they want certain pets to have some babies
. They will then color the CS line-art and release them on the first of some months in this section of the Adoptables Page. New 2nd/3rd Gen's are placed beside a picture of the parents like the image below. Those two pets are the Parents of a specific litter
