>>Here is how I see it.
In essence a cream is a mutt because it is emoryi/guttata but you were told it was cream so there is no reason to doubt that.
There is no advantage to having emoryi blood and to some it is a distinct disadvantage so it is very doubtful someone would say there is emoryi blood (creamsicle) if there isn't.
Now, there are some that say only the orange (cream) colored amelanistic emoryi/guttatus mixes are creamsicles and the reder ones are simply amelanistic emoryi/guttaus.
To make it easier in the trade I feel that it is easiest to convey emoryi blood in any amelanistic emoryi/guttaus mix by calling them creamsicles.
This has some people upset but things change, language changes, words take on new meanings, word usage evolves, sometimes you just have to go with the changes. At least as long as the meaning isn't lost in translation...lol
Either way, any ofspring you ever produce from that little beauty or any other emoryi/guttatus mixes, must always be labled as having emoryi blood in them.
But I digress, If you knew it had emoryi blood ( called creamsicle conveys that) and you liked what you got, especially for the price, then you couldn't have gone wrong.
You got what YOU wanted.
And like I said in my previous post, it looks like it could be used to start a nice reverse okeetee/creamsicle line.
By calling it reverse okeetee I am not insinuating it actually has okeetee in it, I am just expressing it can have the reverse okeetee look.
Nice, wide, white borders.
just for fun
