I have a citizen-science request. Does anyone here have a rabbit with multiple agouti bands in the fiber? This chocolate agouti has chocolate/fawn/dove gray bands.

The ARBA Standard of Perfection calls for 'one or more' bands. Here's the request: if you have a rabbit with multiple bands like this one when you blow into the coat, would you please do me a favor? Could you please remove a pinch of the fiber, and lay it on a piece of white paper, and take a photo or scan of the hair. We want to see how many bands are actually on an individual fiber. (If you can also take a photo of what the rings look like when you blow into the coat, that would be awesome!)
This is a chestnut agouti doe while her coat is being blown during grooming:

You can see where the chestnut/fawn/slate gray pattern repeats. What we need to know is, is it repeating on a single hairshaft?
