Is this doe shaded or not? I've been calling her a Blue Seal Marten, but I'm not sure. She's out of a Seal Marten and a Blue Otter. I'd love it if I'm wrong and she isn't shaded, but I need you opinions :p

from the top picture she looks like she could be either blue seal marten (BRC name for it was dark smoke marten I thought?) or a blue silver marten (BRC name: blue fox) but the bottom one she looks shaded, more like a blue seal marten
 
Yeah, I get confused with the different standards and names for things. Dark Smoke Marten sounds more correct :p

I can post some more photos tomorrow if it would help? I think those photos were edited slightly (they were taken a while ago) because of the lighting, so different photos might make a difference.
 
I've owned a lot of blue seals and that looks exactly like mine. They can get very dark, but in the light especially you can see the points. So I would say that doe is a blue seal marten :D
Beautiful rabbit, by the way!
