vicrock, yeah, I didn't really understand the genetics of this cross. The parents are a shorthaired black female who I thought might have been dominant spot, and a longhaired satin banded Golden male who was carrying black. In the litter, I see:
1 black banded (very cute)
1 cream roan (very, very friendly)
1 satin sable banded (beautiful, but unfortunately not particularly friendly)
1 sable roan (beautiful)
1 satin Golden
1 satin Umbrous Golden
1 something I can't quite identify, but which might be satin Golden roan or satin sable roan
... in order to get these results, it means that the parents must both have been carrying cream, that the mother is Umbrous black, and that one or both of the parents has the White-bellied gene (this gene gives the roan appearance when heterozygous). I'm guessing that it's the mom who is White-bellied.
