I got this male from breeding my Sulfur Mojave male to a Dinker female. The female looks similar to a Chocolate or so I have been told. I got two Mojaves and two dark "normals", one of which looks way off to me, dark, flames, blushing, etc. Could this be a Chocolate Mojave? Has anyone produced a Chocolate Mojave from a proven Chocolate? I am talking about the darker Mojave in the pics, although the other Mojave is a female from the same clutch. There are two pics, one is in the link at the bottom. He looks a bit skinny in the first pic, he was a slow starter, but is a fat little guy now.

I know Scott made some this year, you might want to check with him to see what he thinks.

Marshall Van Thorre produced this girl and one other in 2008 using a pet store female I found.

Daniel Garcia had proven mom genetic the year before and this year Marshall produced these two apparent supers:

To me they look like super chocolates from other lines so I'm now calling my line the Garcia line chocolate. So I consider the girl in the first photo a mojave chocolate.

that seems like perfect logic with the names and the fact that those are chocs. good to see not another name for an already existing morph and great looking chocojave (I had to do it, lol).

a BAD dog is MADE not bred, support the American Pit Bull Terrier as the greatest breed of dogs on Earth!!!!!

And I would say your male could well be a chocolate mojave. He has the same broad chocolate colored dark areas and white pixilation up the side. IMHO chocolate can be subtle so best way is to prove a super with mom and with this little guy you have a shot at super chocolate mojave which I think will be really nice. I'm going to try for that this year.

Here is my founding female to compare with your female but from the babies I hatched this year I would have to say chocolates can vary a lot.
