Question
I have a blue eyed white male and would like to get a red female. He is also a color point carrier. Could you tell me the possible colors that I could get with this mating? His dad is a copper eyed white and his mom is a shaded silver.

Answer
Hi Linda

You may find the links below useful and give you some understanding of what colours you may get.

There are many variables which affect what colours you can get and you may end up with some surprises.

I would mention that you need to get your white male BAER tested as blue eyed whites may carry the deafness gene.
