Everyone says Sable Steel, but...

...I'm not so sure. Looks more like Siamese Sable Steel? Sire is black by a blk g.tip steel and rew, dam is by ch.agouti and ch.agouti. The key lies with the sire, he has made this color in another litter with a different unrelated doe. They both started out dark but turn lighter. I have little experience with shaded colors but in looking at other photos people post of Sable Steels, they look more like most other steels, just with the sable ticking. These have distinct dark points. I have other pictures of him if needed. Belly is light, no under color. <br /><br /> __________ Mon Oct 05, 2015 11:36 pm __________ <br /><br /> Another pic in a different light.

Not saying this is it or not, but at a rabbit show over the weekend, I found out there is such a thing as a silver fox mini lop. And it is a recognized color by the ARBA. at least it was, I don't have a current book of standards.

that's what it looks like to me too. Some people use sable and siamese sable as interchangeable colour names though.

Sable steel and Siamese sable Steel are the same colour but different names.

This rabbit is definitely agouti and shaded

If she was full extension she would look like a sable chinchilla but because she looks like an agouti sable she must be steel extension = A_ B_ cchl_ D_ Es_

Steel has a WIDE range of effects of fur from completely black to only a slightly darker agouti.

I think the latter is the case with this rabbit and that she is just a lighter version of steel

I would think this is more of a sable steel when I think of how steel comes out and how sable usually looks.

My buck is just so light, almost more like in sable points but there isn't any of that in his pedigree.
