I have two male chins from craigslist and wondering what they would be considered? Was told the cream one is albino but even I know that if there is any color it can't be albino so I don't really think the previous owner really knows. Also the eyes on the cream one are really wierd I can see right into them. Is this normal or is he blind? Thank you everyone

I agree, **** beige and brown velvet. There really aren't any true albino chins. Any that have been bred were blind and did not live long.
 
It's kind of hard to tell on the darker one as the color from the pic appears to be off. The lighter one is a **** beige. Did you just dust them? If so the darker one could be a Black Velvet recently dusted. Is he more gray/black or beige/tan?

Pink ears = brown velvet. :)
 
thank you everyone...He was not dusted. and color in the picture is his true color. I don't see brown but more black/grey or bluish grey? I don't know but he is a really pretty color I think. Thanks again, will be spending alot of time on here reading everything!

He's a brown velvet, no doubt. The pink ears with freckles gives that away. Only chins with the beige gene get that, and brown velvets are a cross between beige and black velvet.
