I got her around a week and a half ago. IDK but to me she seems to be marbling. I just wanted some other opinions in on this...
I started noticing some black marks in between some of her spots (hopefully the pictures show it). Could it be! It will be soooo nice if she was marbling.
Another question can pups from a marble/motoro cross still marble as nicely as actual marbles? Cuz, I mean they do carry the gene if I'm not mistaken....

BTW it will be nice to see some pictures of actual marble pups in comparison.

Thanks!

since the father was only half marble, i dont think you will get any marbling.

technically your ray would have 1/4 marble blood.
 
Actually I think her father was a "Standard Marble" and mother was a "Standard Motoro".
So shouldn't she be half/half? It was pup from FireMedic if that helps...
 
To young to tell for now, but if you go by the current pics my answer would be no....
 
his male belonged to me a while back, and he was 1/2 marble bred by pat.
 
I don't think you will get much marbling. Maybe a couple of dusky areas. If yours had a lot of marble in it, you would see the heavy concentration of spots around the disk edge. I have some pics of my baby marbles when they were about 3 months old I will post when I get home.
