This mating has the very distinct possibility of having several (if not all) expressing the phantom pattern. Duckie is a chocolate/tan phantom and Elsie, who is actually a 'hidden' phantom has the correct pattern DNA code. This is one of the reasons I test for DNA color - it allows me to make mating decisions to produce some unique and interesting expressions.
It will be so interesting to see how many will be black and tan (my personal favorite). There will not be any chocolate/tan combos because Elsie does not carry the chocolate gene (b). There could be some apricot/whites but we will have to wait until she has her babies.
