New Color?
« on: August 10, 2010, 11:58:32 AM »

We originally thought we had bought a pink white, but the more time has gone on she has developed violet tendencies on her tail, back side and around her ears.  We took her into the breeders and they think she might be a pink white violet.  Has anyone heard of this?

You can see the ears on this picture, I will have to take more later.

It is hard to see her color in that picture. If she is a pink white violet it isn't a new color. It is just that you will not hear of that color often as reputable breeders would not mix that many mutations together.

Agree, I think the colour pattern is more likely caused by the beige influence. Anyway, they are both lovely chins!!

Yah I wasn't really sure, but the color is coming out more like a violet than a beige.  I love her very much, she's my little cuddles :)

It's not new but very rare. She is STUNNING!  You should be proud of her and of course the gray one, he's a cutie pie. Can't leave that sweetie out.  ;)
