Question

patterned baby I was just wondering what this litter might turn out to be. I was expecting from the breeding all seal points which i'm sure the self colored babies will grow up to be ( both parents are blue seal point siamese dumbos ) but theres quite a few others in the litter that are lighter on the head but not white then have a darker variation of the same color in a patter doing down thier backs. All have red eyes from what i could tell before picture was taken yesterday at 10 days old they were born May 4th.

Answer
Most likely this baby is what is known as a trimese, or white marked siamese. She'll grow to be a beige striped infant and then begin fading and changing to look entirely like a siamese at her adulthood coat. Keep in mind if you're breeding for show that trimese is undesirable by MANY clubs and you should take note of who is and who is not trimese, and only breed those who are not.
