Question
Could you please tell me the possible kitten colors of this mating. The Sire is a blue eyed white color point carrier. His dad is a copper eyed white and his mom a shaded silver. The Dam is a solid chocolate. Her mom is a choc.calico and her dad a solid choc. I think that the white boys masks black. Thanks
