Hi Ed,   Thanks!  This has solved the mistery :)   It looks like the two Doves could also be carrying the Gg as well, which should be interesting.   Thanks again,   Tony P   ----- Original Message ----- From: Ed Cope To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, January 26, 2002 6:12 PM Subject: Slight Dilemma Hi >I got a little bit of a dilema here, I have a breeding pair who I believed >to be a Dove and an Ivory Cream Spot.  They recently had pups and after 12 >days it's obvious that there's 2 Doves and 1 Albino.

This is made possible if Dove was aa Cc(h) E_ Gg pp and the Ivory Cream Spot was Aa CC E_ gg pp  If you run those thru the gene calculator you will see that you get doves and REW's which is what you got, plus you have the chance of 6 other colours! >The two Doves have a dove grey appearance, I know that Argente does have a >grey undercoat, does the orange come through later? No, they are apparant very early, one is a golden orange and the other is a creamier version, check out the colour pallette for some good pictures. Hope this helps Eddie
