Rascal-- Is he a SEAL Point?

[Frosted Rabbits]

Rascal's coloring has really changed-- his black/ grey, now looks more like the brown on a Seal Point Siamese cat. It is also very light, not a rich color at all. So, should I call him a Seal Pointed Mutt? I figure he is most probably a NZ/CAL- a common mix here with the Amish kids all doing their thing!

If he was a Seal he wouldn't have points he would be an almost black all over as seal is two chin genes. he could be a blue (dilute) or chocolate based though.

does the REW part of his heritage determine anything? His eyes are red---

Red eyes means he's Californian marked for sure.
Point colour varies due to genetics and temperature, as well as if they're starting to moult or have a bit of a sun burn a black point can become more sepia coloured. As well as it's possible to have a chocolate Californian.

Have never seen a chocolate Cal-- but heck-- why not?So I acidently got something a bit different when I went into Tractor Supply that day
