Lilac Magpie? *Picture Heavy*

[Mini Lop Fan]

I was told that this buck was a Lilac Magpie. I don't know very much about magpies, so I just want to get a second opinion. I have included pictures of his Sire and Dam (not my pictures, the seller sent them to me) and I have pictures as a kit. (he is the one on the right)

to me dad looks like a sable magpie (non-recognized colour) but he looks like the sable magpies I get on occasion.

his colour doesn't look quite right to me to be a lilac. he looks more like a lighter version of sable magpie (note the darker spot on his nose) and then it goes lighter over the eye? That's a mark of sable.

That is kind of what I was thinking....the shading just started coming in and I was Sooo confused. :lol:

Could he be a blue sable? Because he is really light for a normal sable.

I"ve not seen blue sable, but sable comes in various depths of colour.

looks about right

Possibly, you’d need to test breed to confirm

I think it looks like a chocolate torted sable magpie rather than lilac (both chocolate and blue)

That would be interesting. Would the genotype be aabbc(chl)_D_ee? It is very possible that he is at least chocolate based as there was also a self chocolate in that litter.
