Chimeras haven't been proven in BPs as far as I know, but several other species have proven out to produce chimeras, including ones that have chimera germline cells. There have been two mules that had germline cells of the horse embryo they bonded with. Several humans have been proven as chimeras, including one woman who had large patches of skin and hair that were genetically male from the male twin she bonded with in the womb. Male calico cats are sometimes chimeras, which would be the closest example to this situation since it effects their coat pattern phenotype.
