Martenized Himi?

[RabbitsOfTheCreek]

Currently at a rabbit show and finished showing my Netherlands, and my Blue Himi Doe was disqualified for being Martenized
I haven't had one of these before and have barely seen one so I wanted to ask if she is
I didn't notice the lighter color on her ears until I was standing up at the table with her



Checked her pedigree and her father has a grandfather that is a Himi Marten

That's what I'd call her. The pale ear lining, white nostrils and white underside to her tail are all indications. It's easy to miss, especially on a blue or lilac; some judges won't even catch it.
Here's a martinized himi Satin, with more obvious markings:


Your cute little doe has another DQ on her front feet as well, that being white spots in the colored areas; it's especially noticeable on her right foot. It may be due to the martenization, but I'd watch for it in her offspring just in case.

How'd your other bunnies do?

Hopefully it's not noticable enough for the judges tomorrow...
I probably won't show her after this show anyway

How'd your other bunnies do?

No one won anything other than maybe a best of Variety

I only have one in blue on rabbitcolors. Please, if someone own such a rabbit or has the right to use images, could you add them? Rabbitcolors - edit entry - Rabbitcolors

Up to now i wasn't able to find a proper image to replace the blue martenized himi in this explanation about the c-series with a black one. So if anyone have one i am very happy

A day after the show I checked her parents' pedigrees and her father has a Martenized Himi in him
I'm planning on breeding her with my youngest Siamese Sable Buck when he's old enough to see if we can get a Sable Marten

you are welcome to add images of this rabbit also ;-)

Today I've noticed that another Doe from the same parents (she's about 6-7 months old now) has some lighter fur on the edges of her ear tips

That's all I've seen so far but I'm starting to get suspicious of their mother
