Can light colorpoint and agouti gerbil got golden argent pup? I expected only agouti pups. But ... What color can have this pups? There are two argent (?) and two white pups.

Yes. It means they both carry one recessive p gene. The presence of white pups means your agouti also carries a recessive c gene, and as you know your colourpoint agouti carries 2 recessive c genes.

No, they could be Topaz, and Sapphire also, if the agouti carries c(chm), as well as PEW; and if the agouti carries c(h), the himalayan gene, dove or argente cream. The self types would only occur if both parents also carry one "a" recessive. However, there will be no chance of a DTW since the one parent carries two c(chm) genes and therefore no himalayan gene.
If the agouti parent does carry a himalayan gene then you could get Siamese pups and Light Colourpoint Agouti from this pair. I don't know if this gene is present in your area. As someone has said, it all depends on the recessives the parents carry. Again, if both carry e recessives, you could get a lot more colours, and the same applies for both carrying g recessives.
