She appears to have an adult coat. This is an indicator of the gray gene. She'll start graying with eye-goggles at about 6 months.

Her base coat appears to be a grulla.

It will be difficult to get a non-gray from these parents, but not impossible. 25% chance of a non-gray, 50% of single-carrier grays and 25% chance of double carrier grays.

She is one of the last two, either a single or a double gray. She may always throw grays.

Yup!

Once you get used to the gray gene, it's easy to tell if yes or if no. :)
