Color help - again

[bunnybunbunb]

Ok, I got the last one sorted out! He is a little Sable Point Martin and very cute. Now it is time for a rabbit that I have had for almost 2 years. I don't have any pictures that can help as far as I know but I can explain the shaft. He is a broken so it's harder to tell. On his(and his daughter's) head and ears the hair is all white3/4th the waywhere it turns either dark black, dull black, or a sabled darkish brown/grey. On his ears the ares are tipped in white,if I remember exactly correct.On his(and his daughter's) back the hairs are white up till the tip then it goes a sabled like brown. I believeheis sable of some kind because his two daughters(which which is the same color) have the look to their eyes that sables have. His one daughter is a Sable Chinchilla and the fact her mom is black(carrying cchl) means it had to come from him.

Help? I've been through frosty, a weird form of sable chinchilla, sable frosted pearl and now agouti sable. I would like to figure out the real color

Just in case here is a picture that MAY help, if not at least you can see my pretty boy :biggrin2:

Thanks, Samantha

Is he a Holland or a Mini Lop? The breed description and variety names differ.

If a Mini, I'd call him a Sable Chinchilla.

In Hollands, he would be a broken Frosty because the Holland standard doesn't list Sable Chinchilla as a variety. (Although, genetically we generally consider frosty to be non-extension).

yeah, what she said^:biggrin2:

in all seriousness, that sounds about right. he looks like a mini to me though

She doesn't look like a hollland to me she is probably a mini.

He is a Holland Lop. He does look like a Mini Lop but if you saw him posed back whenI got him(he was 18 months, he is now 4 years) you would see but now that is is older and out of shape(for a Holland) he looks more like a mini. He could pass as both weirdly enough....

His daughter is a Sable Chinchilla and she looks totally diffrent from him and his other daughter, is it just because they are broken and she is solid? Weird....

He's cute! He looks like a Sable Point, but very light. I say that he too, is a Sable Chinchilla.

Since he's a Holland Lop, we'll simply have to call him a "frosty"

I thought sable chinchilla and frosty where two diffrent colors that where geneticly diffrent, I am wrong? So are ermine, sable chinchilla, and frosty all the same? See I thought frosties whereall shaded however ermine and sable chinchilla where not.

Can you post a photo of the ring color of your rabbit from a spot on the body? I can get more detailed on the color and I'll list all the genotypes of the varieties being discussed.

I've tried it before with other rabbits and they never turned out. It is even harder with a mostly white rabbit.
