Default Re: Breeding doves !

But the genetics determine the colours and it depends who you mate her to.

A dove hamster has two copies of the cinnamon gene and two copies of the black gene (both are recessive I.e. Only expressed if a hamster has two copies of the gene). Your girl may carry other colours which you could see from her pedigree. If the male has no cinnamon or black genes or other shared recessive genes then all the pups will be golden.
