Dislikes: Ponies with a general lack of common since or relative intelligence, ponies using their position or power for personal gain, oppression of any level, intentionally rude behavior, and onions. Character Summery: Sherlock was born in Manehatten to a fairly well off family; his father, Avant, a successful mystery and fiction author. His mother, Luthia, a concert violinist. Because of his father’s love for fiction work, mysteries in particular, and mother’s love of classical old world culture, he received his somewhat unusual name from the classic character. Also the fact that his family carried the same surname as the character didn’t help his chances much either. Despite his family being wealthy, he grew up spending a lot of his spare time playing in the streets; giving him a valuable set of street smarts. It was here where he eventually he met his master, Shihan, a martial arts master and instructor. Shihan saw something very special in him and chose to train him privately. He advanced quickly and eventually mastered his martial art, and at the same time earning his cutie mark; a three flame tomoe or fire wheal. After that he began his formal academic studies learning things such as history, chemistry, botany, and anatomy. He then was sent to stay with his grandfather, Lestrade, a retired chief inspector to the royal palace; to help him in his old age and failing health. Sherlock became interested in detective work and started to study under his grandfather; eventually opening up his own private investigator office in Canterlot, with very little success at first. However upon solving a missing pony case that all others had given up on, he got his name out in the industry which opened his office to more and more cases. He became known as one of the top investigators in Canterlot, and eventually was requested to consult with the Canterlot police and the investigation team at the palace. It was, sadly, at this point where Sherlock’s grandfather became even more ill and was moved to a hospital. Before he passed he told Sherlock how proud he was that he followed in his hoofsteps, and that he had become so successful at it. He gave Sherlock his old fedora that he wore when he was an inspector and told him to never stop doing what he loved. To present Sherlock Hooves is one of the top rated private investigators in Canterlot, some say Equestria.

Though it appears that this forum has already explained the genetic concept of different types of ponies having children well enough; I thought I might just add my opinion by agreeing with the dominate gene theory. Two ponies of different types cannot make a hybrid, its one or the other depending on what gene is more dominant.

Well I was investigating the links around some of the other MLP websites, namely Celestia Radio, and I came across this so I wanted to try.

Greetings everypony, I was just out and about checking the links around other pony related sites and I stumbled across this lovely little gem. Thought I would give this a shot and see how things go; I've been a member of the fandom for a little bit but I haven't actually tried to chat with my fellow bronies and I figured it was time I should try. I hope to meet some interesting equines in the near future, and hope this experience will be.... most engaging.
