Chakitties fur patterns are completely random. No bearing on parents. And thats how blacktail has a blacktail, and was named such, because its a unique identifier of hir, over others. So yea, hir father could be a fox, in fur coloration only, because they are -all- chakitties =^.^=
Breed any taur species and a chakat and the Child will allways be a Chakat. Exceptions are Quanges and Skunktaurs, Quanges can only breed with in they're species and if the dame/ mother is a Skunktaur the out come with be a Skunktaur but if the dame is a Chakat it will be a Chakat. Skunktaur and Chakat Children gain Chakat Empathy and the Skunktaurs ability to some degree. the
The update including Malena's future change is much more recent than that. Besides, it is cannon as word of god both there and on the Chakat Heaven mailing list.
Besides:
They are also capable of interbreeding with other Foxtaurs and Chakats, but the resulting children are always Stellars in the first case, and always the species of the mother in the second case. However, Chakat cubs can gain extra traits from Stellar sires.

Actually, genetics do apply here, as Foxtaurs and Chakats share the same genetic base.
Because of that, Foxtaurs and Chakats can interbreed.
However, due to the dominant properties of the Chakat genes, the resulting cub is always a Chakat.
Btw. same goes for Wolftaurs and Chakats.
When you read Bernard Dooves stories, everything becomes clear.

Awesome as always Kacey!
Great background, super detail, and the feel of 'satisfiction/pleasure' on both their faces is perfect.. Hir's the triumph of doing it 'right' and his of watching his child follow in his pawprints.
Superb!
I love your backgrounds, but your expressions never cease to amaze me.

Wow! You got everything right in this image! The little cub has hir arm at the right angle, shi's standing the proper distance to the anvil, and shi's wearing proper protective gear of leather apron and gloves. My onlt minor criticism is that unless shi's "Dropping" a set of cleats as the finishing touches on that "Pony Shoe," the iron should be a little closer to orange red. Beautiful picture all around though, and it made me smile.
The theme is very cute. You can feel the love, also the background/environment is AMAZING. It brings back so many memories as a kid, and learning stuff from my parents around the holidays. You did a great job.
a true artist can make the viewer feel emotions. YOU are a true artist. <3

Beautiful, beautiful work. As always.
One minor nitpick, and it's something that you wouldn't know unless you actually worked as a blacksmith, or at least studied the trade. Shi would not be in the pose you've shown, with the wrist and elbow strongly bent. Hir father is shown in a proper pose, however.
A blacksmith uses no wrist action and minimal elbow action when working. The vast majority of both motion and power come from the shoulder. For a number of reasons, including the amount of damage that can be done to the wrist and elbow over time, especially the wrist.

Yep, and Dad will be correcting it. A long stroke like that isn't necessary. That's one of the reasons that blacksmith hammers weigh anywhere from 2 to 5 pounds. If you can't generate enough power with an 8-12" stroke, you need a bigger hammer. Sometimes it's a two-handed hammer, those can get upwards of 12 pounds, but they're only used with larger pieces and require at least two workers, frequently three. (And that's one of the things I find most difficult to do correctly. I really need to find another teacher, but I can't afford it right now.)
The mistake is that shi'll tire hirself very quickly and shi's much more likely to injure hirself. Proper technique counters both of those problems. I can understand why a (very) small horseshoe is shown, it's a classic image. Technically, that is done by a farrier, someone who shoes horses and other equines; it is a completely different field of expertise. A blacksmith may do that, but is much more likely to be making something else. Darned near anything that's made out of iron or steel, in fact. Hinges, nails, all sorts of small parts, decorative work like wrought iron, the list is very long. However, if that is your level of technology, wire is something that is both rare and very expensive. Making it by hand is extremely difficult, and a blacksmith isn't likely to have the time, even if he has the skill.

chakats are herms, yes - but the father there is a male foxtaur (chakats can breed with foxtaurs) - so the mother was a chakat, and so is the resulting child =)
Even in the case of 2 chakats having a child, one is the mother and another the father depending on who birthed the child..

All this talk about what kinda kid you get with a Chakat pairing reminds me of this pic. http://www.furaffinity.net/view/1749153/
Another excellent chakat scene; you do them so well. So many details throughout this image to complement you on... the realistic wood on the walls, the ash on the floor, the heat of the fire, the accuracy of the blacksmith tools, the pretty partially melted snowy world outside the window, plus the taur characters themselves- so well done. I love chakats!
I must say the work in this in quite nice and the use of traditional mediums is well to it gives the whole piece that classical appearance that I just find so enjoyable, like the Painter of Light. I also like the form as it seems a student tiger-taurene and a fox -taurene teacher is nice, I also say the idea of looking put the window as well is nice to see, as it gives a glimpse of not just that it is winter, but the sleepy town that is they are in and the every day life of these folks, very nice work.
Awww Kacey i could kiss your wonderful paws right now. When I saw this I about cryed and when my daughter came home I showed it to her and she hugged me and asked when we would do that as well. Im a historical reenactor doing blacksmithing from the year 1400 to the year 1920 so this picture really hit me where it counts. Thank you so much for this.
