I thought I had these 2 figured out but I got something unexpected in the 2nd litter. I bred a sapphire female (her parents were pew and lilac spot) with a black male. I got sapphires, blacks, and a Burmese in the first litter. At least, I think he is Burmese. The 2nd litter has blacks, a possible nutmeg, and what looks like a Himalayan. How could I get both a Burmese and Himalayan from this pair? The female should be Cc(chm) and the male C*. Right?
I’ll try to add some pics

Hi - it is possible that your 'burmese' from the first litter is actually a light colourpoint slate (which is possible from the genes you likely have).
And this could mean that your 'himlayan' is actually a (light) Black-Eyed White (a really bleached out colourpoint nutmeg) espeically if the pups is still really young and hasn't moulted out yet.
However, if your Sapphire was actually a really dark Dove (carrying a ch) then the Himalayan would actually be possible if the Black carried a ch gene also.
Pictures would be the easist way to rule any of these things out.
