What color is the French Lop kit?

[wendymac]

This is one of Adeline's babies, and no idea on what color it would be. I'm thinking smoke, but that's just a guess. LOL

Forgot to add... for those that don't know, sire is an opal and the dam a lynx.

I see tan pattern so my guess is smoke pearl chin

Those sideways ears always crack me up. Too cute! I have no idea but I always love the shaded colours, hoping she's a frosted.

so adorable!!

For it to be a chin, wouldn't it need a chin parent? Or at least chin in the background somewhere? And wouldn't a chin have a white belly, white around the nostrils, etc?

Not sure why my stupid camera doesn't show colors correctly. He's really not that dark, and the color is more of a gray than a brown. I'll try to get more later, if the sun would bother to grace us with its presence!

Yeah, the ears always make me laugh! Especially when they get bigger, and some are flopped and some aren't.

Karen, thanks for the link. The problem is, I need pictures. Saying something is okay, but to actually see it makes it easier. And I think, since there really aren't any "wrong" colors with the lops, people are very lax in correctly identifying the colors on them...making looking at their colors in their pedigrees almost worthless.

I made that mistake myself. I was told, by a breeder that saw them in person, that Blaster and Flip were fawns. Well, a month later, those fawn babies were actually lynx...and are now incorrectly identified on their pedigrees.

:inlove: Our huge Chin Peter has a white belly, white around his nostrils and black striping around the edge of his ears.

I see white around the eyes, under the jaw, and hints of nostril markings? SOP says surface color is to be white on the belly. I don't think they have to have a chin parent though Idk i just saw tan pattern markings when i saw the picture
