For two weeks now I have bred my Yuletide spirit five times, but each time I get the Yuletide spirit!
I spent 40K on breeding a Forest beast (PG 72) with my Yuletide spirit (PG 62) and only got a slightly improved copy.I'm just kind of tired of getting the same pet over and over again who's PG never goes more than 65.

Is this suppoused to happen?

May be. But maybe you're just unlucky enough to get the same pet while breeding five times.

Sometimes it happens that a certain pet will have dominance, usually a crown pet.
I have a storm snowman pet that is like that and I just get the same talents too. so annoying!

However, when I do hatch my own pets I usually get a good result with the pet I want on the left hand side and the talents I want on the other. Just keep at it and you should be successful.

It has been my experience that when you mix a crown pet and a quest or drop pet

the crown pet takes dominance most of the time.

Though many times you can pick up some nice traits from the 'lesser' pet.

I tend to farm bosses (such as loremaster) that supply lots of things to sell at the bazaar to fund my pet hatchings and better pet snacks.

It's what they call now a fail hatch.
From my experience in hatching there are following percentages on what pet you get.
35% you get the pet you hatch with.
65% you get your pet back.

That is based off my own personal experiments out of 100 hatches that I recorded.
Now for different people it may work differently.
My suggestion keep hatching the pet.

That isn't true.
It doesn't matter if it is crowns or not same thing.
