Here are our 6 babies (lionheads). They are 2 weeks old in these pictures.

We are confused about what the color of the "gray" one is really called. Can any of you tell us? (Pictures #003 & #004)

Thank you!

That first one almost looks like it could be what people have been calling ermine :?: looks to have some smuttyness on it's points. jimmywalt, is it a clean white all over? or does it have some grey looking color to it's nose ears and paws
?
 
Is a "blue" lionhead rare, or worth more? I think it looks really neat and we might want to keep him/her.

To answer the other question about the white one.......... I don't know. I'll have to look when I get home. 3 of the 6 babies are pure white with ruby eyes. :)
 
REW

REW

Broken chestnut

Broken chestnut

Blue (or Siamese sable or blue sable)

Broken black

The first two kits have red eyes so are REW or himilayan and not frosty or ermine.

If I remember correctly the mother is a broken black tort and the father is "white"

So how do we tell for certain about Blue Or Siamese Sable or Blue Sable - and - REW or Hililayan? Should I post more pictures?

The father is white double mane, the mom is pictured here (sorry these are terrible pics of the day she came home).

by 8 weeks you should know - blues stay blue but Siamese or blue sable will lighten in the back/saddle area and keep dark points

REW or Hililayan?
a REW will be white all over while a himi will develop darker points.

Your doe is a very dark tort so the third and forth kits could be torts instead of chestnuts.
 
The third and fourth kits look like torts to me. I see black at the ears in both of those pics.

Cute kits!
 
Thanks everyone for all your help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll try to get some more/better pictures tonight or tomorrow and post them so you can have a better look.

Thanks again.
