Diluted litter

[dodowvogel]

Hello all!

My diluted agouti and my spotted black (diluted-gene carrier) had a litter 3 weeks ago. They had four pups, but as usual, I'm not that good at recognizing their colours.



#1 Grey Agouti(?)



#2 (Diluted) Argente (?) (he has red eyes, not very visible in the picture)


#3 Blue(?). At first sight he looks like a burmese/lcp slate, but his tail has the same colour as the rest of his coat. 



#4 Spotted Agouti(?)



All four of them



All four of them again.


Thank you very much =)!

I don't know much how the 'diluteds' look but 1,2 and 4 are the right base colours; grey Agouti, Argente (one of the three anyway) and Agouti, but I have never seen a blue - so without your diluted genes, I would put that as a Lilac.

Do you have colourpoint genes in you parents then to think it was a Burmese? If no CP genes then Argente Golden only and no Burmese/CP Slates either...

I don't think that is a Burmese or a LCP Slate too. Blue is possible since you mentioned that they are diluted/ carrying dilute.

I am thinking that #2 could be a Red-eyed Honey.

#1. Gray Agouti
#2. Argente (?dilute?)
#3. Dilute Slate(?)
#4. Dilute(?) Agouti Spot

I don't work with Dilutes, so I'm just going off pictures I've seen. But the Agouti does strikes me as Dilute, and that doesn't look like a dd-Gray Agouti. I know Blues are quite variable, but that looks more like a Dilute Slate-- those are a bit lighter, almost like a black-eyed Lilac. Dilute doesn't have much effect on Argente, so I couldn't say whether yours is or not.
