Gypsy had her babies today and she blessed us with 3 black spotted silvers!
She also has 3 brown spotted, very nice ones at that. Jack is the sire and since we've mated him both times to marble girls and we've only gotten spotted babies, I'm really leaning towards the fact that he must be homogynous for spots.

With this litter, we could instantly tell which were the silvers, from the moment they were born. It was an enlightening experience.

Our first silver kits ever....Teri and I are really excited.

Congrats! Can't wait to see the pictures. Can you do a week or every other week on the silvers and their color changes


I thought it was a silver to silver breeding? If so, where did the browns come from?

No, just last week, we mated Jack and Spotty Paws. They are both silvers.

But Jack was mated to Gypsy a couple of months ago. Gypsy is a brown marble and the sister to Penny, who gave us only brown spotted from a mating to Jack.
So, this is a pleasant surprise for us.

I'll get some pics up this week. The difference between the silvers and browns is quite striking.
