Color question

[jbcstratton]

I was wondering if a standard chinchilla, that was from 2 beige parents, was bred to a standard if there is a possibility of beige kits. Thanks

no. There is no chance you can get a beige out of two standards.

all you will get from 2 standards is standards

Beige is a dominant mutation, so it will not be carried in the standard kits. Dominant genes will express in the coat if they are present. If they are not present, there is no chance for that animal to pass down the gene. So if you get a standard, even out of two beiges, that means that the beige gene is not present in that chinchilla so they cannot produce a beige with another standard.

That is what I thought. Thanks for your responses.
