It depends ...
Seriously, you might just get 100% Golden Agoutis.
This is because the black may carry no unknown genes so it may be
aaCCEEGGPP
And the REW, whilst it may be aaC---ggpp, it might also be
AAc[b]c[b]EEGGpp.
If it is the former, you will get 100% blacks, but if the latter, you
will get 100% Golden Agouti.
Whites are difficult to deal with genetically as there are simply too
many ways they can be created.
