Maybe they'll expand it someday to allow this, so that you can breed them once then start working on your own, assuming they don't change the base 2 star starters.
No, no. We *can* breed our own Chocobos. The problem is, all the Chocobos we can buy and race with in order to retire them at 40 so they'll be available for breeding, have 2 stars at everything, so any offspring of theirs would have 2 stars at everything as well, and they'd also permanently retain their default color, as all bought Chocobos seem to have the same.

So as it looks, only breeding with NPC Chocobos can yield anything better than 2 stars, and it seems to be the only way to get a Chocobo of a different color as well, which I find rather disappointing, as I'd immensely prefer breeding exclusively my own raised Chocobos, but that seems to be an entirely unviable thing to do, apparently.
