    This is why I asked if you had photos of the parents...I do see Suri/BCC influence in her but my first thoughts was that your girl didn't look like a pure Suri (Suri to Suri breeding) and looks like a BCI/BCC cross.

    Most BCCs/Suris (but not all) have peaked saddles while most (but again, not all) BCIs have dished saddles. {} (peaked) vs. )( (dished)

    Tail color varies: I've seen some Suri babies with deep red tails (some almost looking black because they're so red) to very bright red/orange. But yes, the saddles and tail color did make me think the above (she's a posssible BCI/BCC cross). As far as Suris being cleaner: not all Suris are, some can be very peppered.

    Edit: do you have pics of her head from the side view? BCCs will have differently shaped heads/facial markers than Colombians/BCIs.
