Re: Jilly & Joshua ... success!!!!


Jac if you have little girls in your litter then you need to know what colours were in both parents history, but your little boys colour comes only from Mom it does not matter what colour Dad is but you need to know what the maternal parents and grandparents were as that is a contributing factor in what colour Mom carries.

I think Karen (novice)

As I understand it Charlie, inorder to get tabby babies, one parent has to be a tabby. It's not a gene that is 'carried' So with Lily being tabby as far as I am aware, some babies from any mating could possibly be tabby. I'm sure Kay will correct me if I am wrong!

Re: Jilly & Joshua ... success!!!!


That is quite right, Fran, you need one visual tabby parent to produce tabbies it does not carry. Charlie what colour is Lily and what colour were her parents, also what colour are the studs parents? Then I can let you know what colours are possible in both sexes.

As promised here is a pic of Joshua and an updated pic of Jilly.

They are gorgeous Kay!! Can't wait to see their babies!!!

Lily is seal tabby point, her mum was a blue tabby point and her dad a seal tabby point. I want to put her to a blue colourpoint stud. I'm not sure of his parents colours, I'm still in negotiations with his owner!!! lol

I'll let you know when I know!!!!

I would love a blue tabby girl from her to keep.........one day!!!

Re: Jilly & Joshua ... success!!!!


They are both stunners Kay!!! I'm trying to understand the 'ultra' concept. Looking at the piccies, is Joshua more ultra than Jilly? or am I way off track Kay?
