Default He's Fading Away.

A male i kept bag from my Normal x Siamese Seal Point mating.
Thought he was just a "normal" but seems he is fading, fading to a siamese...
Here are some pictures.
"He used to be dark grey"



And his father:

Yes my RB roan is now a lovely silver colour. No doubt he will be white before long!!!!!!

All roans go white form what I'm told.
I have just got a naked blue striped roan dumbo she is gorgeous.

That would be a silver fawn and probably a striped roan if it has faded.
Hoodeds don't fade.
Has it a really wide stripe down it's back???

Do you have a pic of her/him????

Your "orange hooded" would have been a silver fawn hoodie and he/she was getting his/her silvering in.

I'd say your boy was a mink striped roan, like Dawn has said... Deffinatel striped roan... Probably mink.
