Almost white, creamy color?

Post by Storm Eventing »

I'm pretty sure I've asked this question before but I don't really know what color my Belgians are..
Many of them look like this:


Or have light dapples, like this:


They have the champagne freckles on their muzzle but other than that I've absolutely no clue what color they are.

lemoncypress is correct, both of these are pseudo-whites. Which most often and generally refers to triple dilutes. Champagne with some combination of cream or also pearl. The dapples indicate silver is also included. Regardless of the fact that they have dark eyes, I believe these are both double creams. Sometimes when paired with the champagne gene, double creams will not, in fact, retain blue eyes. It's very rare, but does happen. I do not know if it's a glitch that it happens or coded that way.

Yogurt is the dappled boy so that does mean on a black base (sooties would darken the coat, so that's not the case here).
Icicle, on the other hand, has snowflakes visible just above her elbow in her 4 year old picture. And because she's a slightly creamier toward the yellow spectrum, I suspect she's red based instead.
