Reverse TOV??
« on: September 21, 2008, 09:23:13 AM »
I've got a kit that was born about 9 weeks ago.  She is out of a mosaic female & TOV Tan male.  She was born with a white mask over her eyes, a chocolate brown tail with a  creamy coffee colored body.  I thought that she would loose the dark tail & then start to get more white on her.  WRONG!!  I looked at her about a week ago & now her belly is turning a light chocolate too.  Is there or could there be such a mutation as tan white reverse TOV?  She looks like a TOV except its upside down... darker on bottom fading lighter to the top.  She's very beautiful too :)  The top picture is her at 7 weeks... you can kind of see the underside.  The bottom picture is her mom & dad.

Are you sure he isn't a brown velvet?  He doesn't apprear to be a tan with the white tummy... I thought tans had a tan tummy?  Velvets have white.. ::shrug::

On his pedigree he's listed as a TOV Tan.  If he were a brown velvet there would be no way to get a tan white.  I pretty sure she's a tan white.  I guess I will have to wait for a show.  What's baffling me though is the dark tummy & tail & the lighter back.

I keep waiting on her to get more white but her tummy keeps getting darker & so is her tail.  She still has the little mask she was born with!  I guess I'll be able to show her off in Nov. at the S.C. show

Does she have paw stripes?  I can't tell from the picture.  But TOV chins usually have a dark stripe running down each of the front paws.

Yes she does have the stripes.  I just don't understand why she's upside down as far as the TOV goes.

Sometimes when they are young they are lighter on top and darken as they get older. :doh: He sounds like tov tan.

I want her to hurry up & grow up so I can figure out what she is.  I know that she's going to be a big girl... her dad was 1000+ grams her mom hoovers around 800g.
