do black rabbits always have white paws?

[TheLittleBunny10]

my black buck has white/grey paws and I was wondering if black rabbits always have white paws??????
(he is my first black rabbit)

 

[lissapell]

no. i believe the white paws are called boots.

 

[TheLittleBunny10]

can they still be showable?

 

[3mina]

Booted broken rabbits are not showable due to not having enough white in the pattern.

 

[Bad Habit]

Is he booted, or are just the very bottoms of his feet a lighter grey colour?

I found that my black lionheads had a "bleached" look to the bottom of their feet, even without having vienna markings.

Are we talking about all black rabbits in general, or a certain breed?

 

[tnelsonfla]

The foot pad fur is always lighter shade.

OP's are either mini or holland lops. I can only speak for lionheads, as they're the only breed I have

the bottoms of his feet are grey and only the bottom,
and he is a solid black<br /><br />__________ Fri Jan 25, 2013 1:03 pm __________<br /><br />he's a lop

do you have any photos you could share? sounds like it's not markings, just the way they are

my black mini rexes have black on the bottom of their feet, but my NZW/FG cross kits that are black, have dark grey fur on the bottom of their feet. :hmm:

 

[TheLittleBunny10]

sure, I'll go get some pics

 

[Bad Habit]

the flash made them white but they are grey

 

[siddsaysgimmie]

Mine have lighter feet. Those look much lighter than mine, but you say the flash made them look more white, so I'm assuming that he has normal feet.

 

[TheLittleBunny10]

yeah, their more grey

 

[Bad Habit]

Yeah, I think he's just a black lop

Marshmellow is really pretty. Was one of her parents a Blue eyed white?

 

[TheLittleBunny10]

ok,
thanks, I think.
The lady I got her from was selling all her rabbits, and Marshmellow was one of the last

My previous black rabbits, the fur that they actually walk on, was lighter-- I assume from 'wear and tear' of use as padding.
