Does anyone have a reference or knowledge of how silver (Si) presents in rex rabbits? I'm wondering what it would look like. I'm wondering if the silver would show very well since it's usually on just the top part of the hair. I may end up breeding a champagne d/argent doe to a rex buck as a personal experiment but I wanted to know if anyones seen that before.
 
It can be done and has existed - The British Rabbit Council has a breed standard for it, although I have never seen one, and I don't think they have been seen for decades (at least since 1976 when I first got into rabbits). It's called the Silver Seal Rex, although I don't know why 'seal' is in the title.
