He does carry Mink if he had a Mink parent, thus the Russian Doves. That said, think of Russian Blue like Piebald (it's recessive), Pied x Pied = All Pieds. But if both parents also carry Albino, you'll also get Albino Pieds, but the entire clutch will still be Pieds.
It makes sense that the Mink kit belongs to another doe. That had me confused. lol
As you can tell, Russian Doves are quite lovely. Try mixing them with Agouti (of course since Russian Blue and Mink are Recessive, you'll have to breed the siblings back together) for Russian Cinnamons. They are probably one of my favorites. :)
