1st pic, Mom is almost definitely a slate. 2nd picture looks like a black
or slate pup, hard to tell because of the pic. 3rd is same as 2nd. 4th is
more interesting, it looks like an agouti or nutmeg. It seems most likely
an agouti, as a nutmeg doesn't get ticking till their a few weeks old I
believe. It looks lighter than agouti, but it may be a Cch gene present.
Last picture is a bit confusing, it looks like a light nutmeg, sort of like
a nutmeg with an argente cream tint. But, like I said above, it may be a
Cch gene. If the pups are what I said above, depending on the dad, the mom
would be aaP*C*ggE*, slate pups would be the same and nutmeg would be
aaP*C*Ggee/eef, all with a possibility of the c(h) gene. I'm a newbie on
genetics and such, so I may need to be backed up by a second opinion :)
