I am positive she is a LCP Agouti. She has had four litters and all have been Golden Agouti. I recently bred her son (Golden Agouti) back to her to see what would come out and I got four Golden Agouti babies and three LCP Agouti. Does this sound about right??
Thanks in advance, Victoria -----Original Message----- From: Gerbil Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Evans Sent: 11 December 2001 19:45 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Pearl genetics She is most possibly CP Grey Agouti(aka Pearl) or Polar Fox. For some reason I doubt she's CP Agouti. So if you have an Ivory (Cream) - A*CCE*ggpp and all you have from their first litter is golden agoutis. A*C*E*G*P* Polar Fox is A*C*eegg*P Pearl(CP Grey Agouti) is A*cbcbE*ggP* Both of these have the gg gene, which would basically eliminate any possibility of Golden Agouti. IF she is a LCP Agouti (A*cbcbE*G*P*)... and as I recall Polar Fox and CP Agouti don't really look the same. As I recall, a LCP Agouti has much less obvious ticking than a Polar Fox or Pearl, and the body color is a bit yellow-er. Correct me if I'm wrong. But if she IS a LCP Agouti, then it IS possible to have all Golden Agouti pups. I suppose the only way to find out for sure, is let them have a few more litters, and see what else pops out. If you have nothing but golden agouti, then I think it is safe to say you have a LCP Agouti on your hands. If other colors pop out, then perhaps it's time to look over the genetics again.
