I'd say the sweet kit is a Black tort.

I'd say black. If it was blue, the body color would be a little lighter.

Definitely not dilute..

I still can't enough of your beautiful doe, if i'd ever find one like her, i would gladly throw my money at them and take her with me.

Thank you Disney, I wish you were closer as I may end up passing her on as she is not really my cup of tea. She only had 3 kits this go around though the person I got her from swears that she has 7 -8 kits per litter. I am going to breed her 1 more time and see if her litter size increases.

Look out, i might just buy a plain ticket and get my butt over there :mrgreen:

I hope she produces a nice big litter for you, a doe her size should be able to do that

I got a broken blue tort in a holland litter a while black. With the broken, took us some time to identity her. Now I have a solid blue tort and the black torts for comparison, and it's easier to see the differences.

Yeah I plan on re-breeding her when the kits are 3 weeks old so I am hoping for a litter of at least 6 her next time. This litter she had the most adorable black kit with a tiny white blaze and white toes She also had the tort and another pure black. For her next litter I have a nice harlequin buck I am going to put her with, he carries dilute so I hope she will throw me some blues.
