[pastelsummer]

I was told by the lady they were a calico.... I have never heard of that before so can you tell me what you thing?
the doe

the buck

I just bought them they were $15 each was it a good investment?

They look like harlequins.i think she made up that color.

 

[ladysown]

black japanese in colouration. many breeds carry that. the size of them suggests they might have harlequin in them. Do they have normal length fur?

 

[pastelsummer]

yes she said the mother was a satin and the father was a satin/rex cross.

 

[Jesse L]

Yep - they are the Japanese variety of a harlequin. They look like black japanese harlequins, from the picture. Might be blue?

 

[pastelsummer]

it is black

 

[ladysown]

they probably get their colouration from the rex I should think...harlequin is fairly common in rexes.

 

[trinityoaks]

Pretty buns!

I agree with Ladysown that their harlequin coloration/brindling probably came from the Rex part of the mix, especially because the doe's ears don't look anything like my Harlies- they are shorter and wider than I am used to seeing. They should make fine meaties for you.
