Breadcrumb on custom master page

I have a custom master page applied to a SharePoint site. However, I want to add a breadcrumb to it.

I have been reading about how SharePoint 2013 has breadcrumb already but its hidden by default in Seattle master page. Could it be enabled in a custom master page? It would be a good practice to make use of existing SharePoint controls instead of creating new ones from scratch.

I also has noticed that the SharePoint site applies the custom master page but inherits from Seattle master page. The question is if I modified Seattle master page to enable breadcrumbs would the custom master page inherit from it? What would be a good practice to implement breadcrumbs to a customized master page?

These are my findings so far, however not sure which to implement on a custom master page. http://ift.tt/1Ax05xD http://ift.tt/1AWpbnI
