Default Re: What colours can you get with a yellow male?

First you need to study Yellow genetics more.

What colors he can produce aside from saying any female pups will be Torts, it is impossible to predict with not known what recessive genes he, and his mate carries.

Sable is a cream Umbrous and crossing Yellow to cream is not at all highly desired as Cream masks (covers) Yellow so you will end up with a bunch of Cream/Sable colored pups who are actually yellow genetically IF your Yellow male carries cream. If he doesn't then 100 % of the litter will be Golden males and Golden Tort females

What color is Black Yellow? I am not familiar with some countries color names and many call one color by many names like UK= Melanistic Yellow for a hamster who has two genes of Black along with the yellow gene where in the USA they call the exact same color hamster a Yellow Black.

So the bottom line is if your Yellow male is bred to a female and she has no common recessive color genes to your male all you will get from him is Goldens with 100% of the females being Golden Torts.
