Basil = Algerian Brown Pinto
Blossom = Algerian Grey pinto
Bramble = We need more pics and age but Either Algerian Grey or Algerian Chocolate
Crumble = Algerian Chocolate
To make sure I called Bryan and these are from him. So now you know 3 for sure.

hi reaper , many thanks for your time and for ringing bryan

can you just clarrify something for me please.

on crumble you can clearly see she has no mask at all and has never had a mask , in the colour descriptions it says chocolate has a mask ? is it sometimes the case that the mask will not show ?

this is the part that has been confusing in the past.

, i will try and get some clearer pics of bramble


many thanks again

You can actually have an Algerian color patterned hedgie without the dark Algerian mask. Once the hedgie is over 9 weeks of age you look at 7 indicators, one being a mask, and the majority of indicators tell the color marking. So if 4 indicators say Algerian and no mask the hedgie is an Algerian with no mask.

thank you for that explanation reaper and great to know , that has made things easier and where i think ive been going wrong ,as ive been taking the mask as the main factor

many thanks col
