This is Lorraine.

Lorraine is 50% Lilac x 25% American Chinchilla x 12.5% Satin x 12.5% Champagne cross. I am in love with her color and want to make more. She reminds me of that purpley-black glittery car color.

My buck options are:

Samuel - American Sable
Shadrach - New Zealand (black)
Sampson - American Chinchilla (her grandsire)
Solomon - American Chinchilla x Palomino (chinchilla, her half-uncle)
Abraham - American Sable x American Chinchilla x New Zealand (silver-tipped steel)
Shem - Palomino (golden)
The Satin (broken sable point)

Can you tell I need to do some buck weeding?

So. What do I mix her with to make more of her?

 
Is it steel or is the champagne silvering? Does the light color appear on the tips of the hair or are their hairs that are entirely white? NZ tend to carry steel so if that's the case you'll want to breed to your NZ crosses but if it's silvering you'll need more argents or other silvering breeds to keep the color.

She's not silvered, I don't think. She's not right in front of me, but I'm 89% certain she's a steel.
 
Unfortunately steel has MANY different shades and I doubt you'd get an exact copy of her but your best bet would the silver tipped steel Abraham or the chinchilla Sampson. Breeding her to Solomon should give the desired colour but will likely produce frostys too.

If she looked black as a kit but slowly got more white then it is the silver gene and you have no silver bucks so keep back son that is silvered and try that.
