The mostly white one is a broken orange considered a "Charlie" as it does not have 10% or more in color pattern. The one with more color is a broken orange. Do not breed these two together if you are wanting to breed for show or to sell for show/brood animals, only breed charlies to solid patterns to avoid too little color. A rule of thumb is that 75% of kits will be born broken if you breed broken to broken but they can also be charlies which are broken with too little color. Breeding a charlie back to a solid will produce 75% brokens in theory as well. And a broken/solid crossing will give 50% solid 50% broken. In theory this is the percentage that you can expect. Of course you can always end up with more or less in any breedings.

Deff not doing show, so no worries there and perfect, I thought that was the case. Thank you so much!
