Will I get a argente cream if I breed a argente with a dove?
My Gerbils Mikey and Minnie had 6 pups.
black, spotted black, agouti, argente, lilac and a dove.
Mikey is a pied argente Minnie is black
Where did the dove come from. Does both parents have to carry the ch?
Im not sure about this, but I think Minnie's aunt is a spotted dove and Mikey's brother is also a spotted dove.
Mikey Aa Cch EE GG pp Spsp ?
Minnie aa Cch EE GG Pp spsp ?
Any help would be appreciated.

Yes, you will get argente cream if you breed argente golden with a dove.
Your genetics is almost correct:
Mikey = Aa C* E* G* pp Spsp
-Mikey may or may not carry Ch, depending on whether he is a golden or a cream. If he is a cream, then he is CCh
Minnie= aa C* E* G* Pp spsp
-Minnie may be the carrier of the Ch. If Mikey is a golden, then Minnie *must* be CCh. They could both be CCh, but then you should wind up with DTW and PEW pups as well.
You will not know *for sure* whether or not either parent carries e or g, but if it is uncommon in your area, then they likely do not.

No, only one parent needs to carry Ch to get a dove.

It depends on the recessives. If you are planning on breeding the pups of your current pair, then you have a 2 out of 3 chance that the argente will carry a. So you will likely also get lilac and dove. Even if the argente doesn't carry a, you will get both lilac and dove. If it is an argente cream rather than and argente golden, you will also get PEW.
