Hi Thor!
A quick assessment would make it appear as tho the Aby Ruddy fur is one step more dominant than the Snow Chocolate rather than one step more recessive. HOWEVER -- and that's a very big however -- unless we know for sure that the Snow Chocolate is not hiding a more recessive fur, then it's not definitive.
A couple of questions:
1) has I'm Sexy ever had a box with a fur more recessive than the chocolate (not counting the ruddy which is in question, of course)?
2) if you look further back in I'm Sexy's pedigree, do you see a more recessive fur, especially one that would match a fur that fits with the answer to #1?
With answers to those, we can take a closer look. Also, a definitive test would be to breed the box with a more recessive fur a couple of times to see if you can pull the
Snow Choccy back from under the Aby Ruddy.
hope that helps!
