I just had two kits born to a tan female, and a heavily marked mosaic male, one is a dark ebony, one is all white, with a dark tan belly,inner legs, and a dark tan spot over the eye...is it normal for a kit to be born all white but with color on the belly ? What color would you call this ? I tried to take pics but they didnt come out too well...The color on the belly is much darker but the lighting washed it out...

Actually he would be a tan white, a pink white should have no color on it's belly because it would not have the ebony gene.
 
Ahh, tan white is what I thought, but I never have had a kit born with all the color on the underside like that, I hope he keeps it, his dad did !
 
Wow- that little guy on your page looks just like him ! The only thing I am hoping for is that because his dad is a very heavily marked mosaic, and mom is a dark tan, maybe he will get more dramatic, if not thats fine too. Yours looks just like an older version of him though !
 
I'm going to say just a tan too...time will tell though. Be sure to update in a month and then again in 3 and 6 (if you keep him).
