Default Coat Types?

IMG_20160822_171345182_HDR.jpg

So, I really don't know much about colouring or coat types or whatever, but I'm guessing Bubblesky is a SH SG Dominant Spot? Is that correct or am I completely barking up the wrong tree?

This is purely because I'd like to know Bubblesky's colouring, not because I have any interest in breeding!

Sweep was grey and white when I got him - now he's more brown!

Oh my goodness, he looks just like Bubblesky in the first photo!

That's so bizarre!

Yep, and he grew LOL

Sweep is from a pet store though, so not sure if that has something to do with it?

Possibly, but so is Bubblesky most likely

Well, Bubblesky is 6 months old now so I doubt it's a baby coat xD

Does he have any white on his face Pygmypuff - that pattern looks like a banded not dominant spot.
Sweep has changed colour as he likely carries a lot of genes pinkneon which are influencing his colour as he matures. Most likely cinnamon and cream are in there.
