Grandfathered in markings & pups

Now I'm confused, because Delight has always been a coywolf (mixed wolf + coyote) as far as I know. That means if both parents were half wolf and half something else, that Mal would be 50% Timber, 25% coyote, and 25% dog.

Mal does have dog in him if we're going by what Queenie was approved as (which we should) - so I'd say the merle spots would be fair game?

Maybe reach out to the parents' players for clarity?
