I don't understaaaand!! - Boudicca Amat - 04-09-2013 12:20 PM
I think I've started to get my head around this breeding lark and then this happens..........
? New Born Kitten
Fur: Abyssinian - Black Silver
MOM: Maxie = Balinese - Seal Lynx
Maxie's parents :-
= Balinese - Seal Lynx - both parents Balinese - Seal Lynx
= Balinese - Seal Lynx - both parents Balinese - Seal Lynx
DAD: Layton = Bengal - Snow
Layton's parents :-
= Bengal - Snow.........parents - Russian - Black + Russian - White
= Snowshoe - Bluepoint.........parents = Snowshoe - Bluepoint + Snowshoe - Bluepoint
Where does Abyssinian - Black Silver come from??
It IS dominant to Balinese - Seal Lynx. But presumably as the Balinese is a pure line it could have held it's own against a coat more dominant.
BUT Bengal - Snow IS dominant to it...and so is Snowshoe - Bluepoint AND both types of Russian - so why not one of those coats?
I'm confused @!@ and hoping the brilliant minds of the forum can help this poor newbie figure stuffs out.

It is dad's hidden
So the snowshoe Bluepoint must have hid the shown of your new born.
So the Russians passed their hidden instead of their shown fur.
One of them hid Snowshoe Bluepoint and the other Abyssinian - Black Silver.
Russians can't hide behind Blue Point as Russians are more dominant.
We never know what kitties hide that is all I can say.
Unless we know our kitties very well ...

Thanks ever so for the input Kayleigh.
I had come to the conclusion it HAD to come from the father - just not exactly where or how.
