Can someone show me what this means when someone says thatthe color on the rabbits feet or the coat color issmutty looking?? I need to see it to know what it means. Thanks guys =)
The following is a definition for "Smut" which comes from the book "The Offical Guide to Raising Better Rabbits & Cavies".
Smut: A dark, sooty appearing surface colour, usually formed by a larger number of dark guard hairs. Found in many rabbits that carry the genetic factor for red. Pelt stain found in Himi's and Cal's. The nose marking found on Himi's.
Smutty here means that the markings are not well defined. For example an otter with a smutty nose (or smudged) means the hair colour from the nostrils is running in to the main colour.
