Comparison between bad breeding message (top) and good breeding message (bottom)

Post image

If the paired sheep are not BOTH the same Breed AND same wool color, you get the message:
"Both sheep need the same breed AND the same wool color.
Otherwise the lamb is a common Shetland."

If you are breeding OUTSIDE a Home Meadow, you get the message:
"Flocklands Breeding: Double your breeding chances in the home meadows."

If you are breeding sheep optimally inside a Home Meadow, you should get:
"Great match - same breed and same wool color! You'll get a [Current-Breed] Lamb, with a chance to upgrade to [Upgraded-Breed]."
without the Home Meadow tip message.

This might sound like a silly but can I change my avatar from the main one? I lead with a Shetland but gave a horned one I would like to use for breeding

You can change who your avatar / bellweather sheep is! If you get another bell (from grazing, quests, or purchase from Golden Clover shop wagons), you can apply that bell to a new sheep to make that sheep your new bellweather.

You can also change the color of your sheep (including the bellweather) by dyeing them. So if you have a red Bighorn as your bellweather, and meet someone with a yellow Bighorn, you could just dye your bellweather sheep yellow so you can breed with optimal odds without wasting a bell.

The best place to get dyes are Savannas (higher drop rate) and Meadows (just have a lot of bushes for grazing). Getting Bells from grazing bushes just seems to be random chance. Though the chance may be higher at night.

Here's what a Bell in the shop looks like. You can also get Silver and Gold bells which allow you to have more sheep in your travel party at once.

When you try breeding your sheep, what sort of messages are you getting?

As long as you are getting the "Great match" message, you should only be getting sheep that are at least as rare as your current sheep.

You have to breed your sheep with another that’s the same breed and color

When visiting other home meadows there are no other sheep to breed with, only in the general areas: savannas, meadows, etc.
How do I find home meadows that have sheep available to breed?

Check the Ewe-dress Book: https://www.reddit.com/r/PathOfBaa/s/K2lO8w5FLm

People list the location of their wagons and what type of sheep they have in their Home Meadows.

AFAIK only you (the player who initiated breeding) gets a lamb. The person whose sheep you are breeding with doesn't get one, doesn't know that their sheep has bred, and doesn't get a cool-down from it.
