[charliebubs]

Me too Kay and Jilly's beautiful. Is she a seal tortie point?

[Fran]

Oh it all sounds very promising Kay!! You know I have everything crossed here for you and Jilly She is a stunning girl!!!!! What colours are you expecting from this mating Kay?

[Kay]

Yes Charlie she is a seal-tortie point and a little darling unlike her bossy mother, Tilly.
Fran I can get black, red, seal-point or red-point males and red, tortie, red-point and seal-tortie point females from this mating so quite a varied litter although not as varied as Leila and Tate.

What a lovely assortment of colours!! I find the colour genetics soooo confusing. You need to come and stay over to give me a few lessons

I have everything crossed for you and Jilly here Kay x

and don't forget to post up Joshua's pic when you get home

Fran if you find colour genetics confusing think about me the poor "brain dead" here.

The females take their colour from a mix of both parents and therefore that would either be a red or red-point and tortie or seal-tortie point. The red comes through as Joshua is a red self carrying the colourpoint gene and Jilly being a seal-tortiepoint is a mix of both red and seal (or black). Boys get their colour from mum so that is where the black male comes in. Hope this helps Karen.
Fran I will gladly come and stay and try and help.

I think I need a genetics lesson too please, Kay!!!!!

I want to put Lily to a blue colourpoint stud, so I get a mix of blue and seal, but I'm not sure if they would be tabby points or not??? Need to read up on that I think!!!!
