I was curious when I paired Nobby and Victoria as to what I'd get from them as I remember vaguely that he had the cheek spot and a white patch on his belly. Victoria has a very small white spot on her cheek and a white patch on her chest. All six pups ended up being Normals and to my knowledge none have a white cheek patch however there was a degree of white patching on the bellies of all six.

Me too!
You'll have to let me know what is the result of your planned pairings - I'd love to know how things turn out.
(Those little white pups are simply gorgeous BTW)
