At PASRBA in fact I know of one fawn that took variety over true lynxs.


As judges, we sometimes don't have a choice and have to choose the fawn over the true lynx, even though the fawn color may be poor lynx because type is worth more points. So unless we DQ the fawn, we can't justify a placement of color over type.

So a fawn is not DQ if shown as a lynx? :?

Sooty dilute fawns can pass as lynx with poor ring color, which many judges only fault. On the other hand, true lynx may also have poor ring color. We have to judge by phenotype, not what we think the genotype is.

Most of the mini rex that we judge in lynx classes are really fawns. True lynx are a rare treat to behold. ;)

They are a rare treat, I had the chance to see a really nice one at PASRBA, side by side with a equally nice fawn being shown as Lynx, and the difference was very clear, but I know thats not always the case.
 
Ive done more research to double check that indeed I am using true lynx in my program. In my lynx I noted: Very distinct ring definition, White udercolor, orange intermediate ring color, and even lilac tipping over their bodies. I also checked their bellies which is white over lilac. The pics i posted on my website show it to some degree, however the lighting was poor, so the even lilac tipping actually looks more patchy as you can see in my avatar. Ill retake some pics in a coupla days, and see if I can include all these characteristics.

I have seen fawn and I own a brkn lilac fawn buck. So far I have only kept back one brkn opal Doe from him to a lynx doe, because of the exceptional coat and type, however I dont think ill breed her into my lynx lines because im fairly certain that that, would introduce the fawn gene.

The main difference between a fawn and a lynx from what I can see is the ring def and the even lilac tipping.
