When you cross a standard chinchilla to other colours (exept homo-ebony or blond), you will always have a chance of standard offspring. However, when you want to breed several generations, it is an established procedure to cross the colour mutations back to standard chinchillas to prevend loss of size, fur quality or body shape. In the table below only gene symbols for the relevant mutations are given.
