Himalayan
Himalayan, ch/c
One copy of the Himalayan gene and one copy of the Albino gene
Chromosome: 1
RVG description:
Body color will start out a vey light creamy beige and should start shading around 2-3 weeks. The pigment will start to travel to the points; nose, tail base, feet and ears. The body will eventually be left off-white and the points will have a nice caramel-coffee color. The points should be localized to the points. Eyes bright red to pink.
The Himalayan gene was derived from a "fatty" line and there could still be overweight issues in certain lines of Himalayan and Siamese.
