Well, a colour mutation doesn't occur that easily. But it could be a mozaic
animal, meaning, she is half argente and half lilac. So part of her cells
carry A-, resulting in argente and part carry aa, resulting in lilac.
Argente animals always do have some greyish ticking, btw. Sometimes more
obvious sometimes less.
What are the parents and siblings colours?
Let us know how the pup colour develops. Could you make a picture?
Karin.
