The following pedigrees show Kitt's Tonkinese - Natural Mink (Rachel) and her parents and offspring so far.

As you can see she was the offspring of a birthday girl and a cupid. Since I've been helping Kitt I've bred Rachel with an Aby Dark Choc and her kitten was an Aby Dark

Her second and third kittens were both with Aussie Mist Blue Marbles as dad

She had a Tonkinese - Natural Mink kitten each time.
So, from this I think it looks as if the Tonkinese - Natural Mink fur is recessive to Aby Dark and Dominant to Blue Marble.
However, we don't as yet know what her parent's hidden furs are. If the above is correct, one parent could hide the new Tonkinese fur and one Blue Marble or both could have the new Tonkinese fur, if it's the former we could have just been lucky in the two kittens she had with Blue Marble dads so far, or she could be pure Tonkinese - Natural Mink if the latter. She's currently paired with one of the Blue Marble boys and will have her next kitten in about four days time.
Her mum, Pineapple, has had two kittens with an Aby dark mate and made an Aby Dark kitten each time.

The second kitten was also a Aby Dark Choc.
I've now paired her with a Blue Marble and their kitten will arrive in about 3 days from now.
Her dad, Cupid, has had two kittens with an Aby Dark mate and has thrown his Genesis fur each time. I'm now trying him with a Blue Marble girl and see if he likes her any better.
Hope this is informative and look forward to replies to this strand with more information as other Natural Minks arrive.
