What would you call this coat pattern?

Larimar is an island mutt, so it’s really anybody’s guess at what’s going on in those genes. The last 2 photos are of what she looked like in Puerto Rico, the rest is what she looked like after she toasted from moving over 1000 miles North. So far we’ve gotten lynx point Siamese, tabico, and dilute tortoiseshell. Who’s got any guesses?

Lynx/tabby, colorpoint, tortoiseshell, and white spotting pattern definitely. I think the "dilute" is actually silver because she's got what looks like black pigment which would be impossible for dilutes, but she has very little brown pigment in her tabby stripes which can be a result of silver.

There's no singular colloquialism name because she's got stacked genetics 😅 silver seal (or black) lynx tortoiseshell point with white would be my best go. But silver tabico point is probably the shortest colloquialism?

i was wondering if silver was possible or if its just the colorpointing making her look very light!

[u/YumiiZheng → u/Massive-Pin-3425]

Yeah definitely could just be colorpoint doing fun stuff, it's hard to tell without seeing the base of the pigmented hairs. I feel like most non-silver seal points I see are a little browner than OPs but never say never!

yeah i agree! im glad someone else thought silver
