Mini (Holland) Lop Colour *updated pics 19th Jan*

[MiniLopNewbie]

Hi I'm just wondering what color you think my doe is
She is a Mini Lop (holland lop)
this pics where taken at 3 and 4 weeks old
(pic 1, 3 and 4 are 3 weeks and the 2nd is 4 weeks)

Ive been told she is/could be...
Sable Point
Chocolate Frosted Pearl/Chocolate Frosty
Seal Point

she has 1 sibling they where a chocolate color but not sure what type
(you can just see her head in one of the pics)
dad I think was a black color? but not 100% sure
mum I'm not sure but she is in the pic in the 1st photo

I don't want to bother the breeder again (even thought she has said ask as many qns as i like)
but i will ask once i pick her up

so what is your guess (is it one of the above?)

 

[Dood]

I would say some sort of Frosted. She could be chocolate, mom in the background looks like a dilute (likely chocolate) harliquin. The kit definitely looks like she has the agouti gene and some sort of shading. If she has one chinchilla gene she is a frosted pearl, theses tend to have lighter bodies, and if she has two she is frosted seal who have darker bodies.

Genetically I would say
A _ - agouti
b b - chocolate
cch _ - shaded or chinchilla
D _. - not a blue dilution
e e. - non extension ( frosty or tortoiseshell )

Thanks she arrives in 2 weeks so i will have more photos then and
will ask the breeder about the parents then too

so far from suggestions she could be either

Sable Point
Chocolate Frosted Pearl/Chocolate Frosty
Seal Point
Sallander/Frosty
blue point or sable point frosty
sallander/blue sallender
sable point/blue point marten

I don't know what color she is, but whatever it is, it is very pretty!

 

[ladysown]

doesn't look frosty to me at all.

She kinda looks sable point...a darker sable point.

But she really makes me think sable chinchilla.

 

[Teddy2511]

Hm.. She kind of makes me think of a chocolate chinchilla, but I really don't know what for sure. I can't wait to see future pictures!

 

[MiniLopNewbie]

well she arrived home today
and is settling in nicely
She is a Seal Point Marten?
here's a few quick snaps (will take some better ones once she is settled)

 

[ZRabbits]

Don't know the color, but she has the sweetest face. Glad to hear she's settling in nicely for you.

Here's a good pic that shows her colours better (1st one is inside so a bit darker)

any ideas Breeder says Seal Point Marten

 

[Dood]

She looks like a sable point marten to me.
The darker ears, feet and tail and lighter body makes her look sable point, and the white eye-liner and nose hair makes her look marten.

Her genotype would be 'at_ B_ cchl_ D_ ee'

 

[MamaMandy]

I agree with Dood. She looks like sable point marten. Very pretty!

 

[TheLittleBunny10]

she is very cute!
what are you going to name her?

 

[MiniLopNewbie]

I've had her 2 weeks now and
I'm amazed how much she is changing in colour
her nose has gone quite dark and into a butterfly/heart shape

 

[Heritage Homestead]

Aww... she is so sweet! I love her nose.

 

[siddsaysgimmie]

Yeah, she looks seal/sable point marten.
