Re: ***dumb Question***
Yes, you can still get a mixed litter. Our Tabby Point Siamese, mated to Ashanti gave us tabbies and solids in the same litter. But..........you will get more tabbies than Solids/Selfs if you do a Tabby X Tabby mating as a rule.

Re: ***dumb Question***
The Tabby Points are remarkable although I do think the Seal Tabbies are the most striking of all. Our Lucy is a Blue Tabby but our little heart murmur child is a Seal Tabby and she's gorgeous I'd have a house full of only Tabbies and Torties if I could lol

Re: ***dumb Question***
I find this really interesting :-) Reading the different colours for different breeds. We don't have colour points ect in the Wegies It's nice to read about them

If one or both parents are homozygous for tabby, ie have 2 agouti (tabby) genes, then you will only get tabbies in the litter. If both parents have one agouti (tabby) and one non agouti (non tabby) gene then you will get a mixed litter.

Tabby to tabby will give you a higher possibility of tabbies than tabby to solid, but then mother nature never listens to probability, she does her own thing.

Re: ***dumb Question***
Is she a tabby? If she is then she will definitely carry a non agouti gene. If you wanted to guarantee all tabbies, then you need to find a tabby boy who has 2 agouti genes.

Re: ***dumb Question***
He is the same as her then one agouti and one non agouti gene each, you have the chance of a mixed litter, with some bi colours thrown in too
