| Bandit as an infant |
 |
| He later grew to look like this. |
Vanna's litter contains two standard hotots, with the white body and the black eyeband, just like the parents. However the third kit (Bandit) is completely mismarked for a hotot. One may wonder, "Where do all those spots come from if the parents are all white?"It is because hotots are a unique expression of the English spot pattern and Dutch pattern. When the gene combination is just right, the baby has a bleached body and color is left in the eyebands only.
For this third little kit, you can see he has a Dutch head and English spots on the body. Nonetheless, he is just as welcome to the family.

Oh my gosh! I can't believe I missed this post. I'm suffering through dead computer syndrome and can't stay caught up. What an adorable little baby bun! The Big Buns are handsome, too.
