What Do You Think

I am so excited. I just purchased 3 beautiful otters. Their fur is amazing and they are great size. I was even more thrilled when I entered their information into my pedigree system and learned that their line contains LOTS of legs. Their great grand Dam has 21 legs.

The photos are not that great. We are still in Montana where we picked them up. I will get better pictures once back home. I just had to share my treasures. Did I say I was excited! LOL

I do have a question: I was told there are no opal otters. Is that true? If so, what color do I consider her?

So not sure if it's my computer but it looks like you have a black, chocolate and Blue otters. But I'm not sure if the chocolate is really just odd lighting on a black.

Yes, black, chocolate, but the third one looks opal. So is she a blue?

 

[ladysown]

Looks like a blue to me.

They’re so beautiful!! That fur looks just as luxurious as you describe. Looking forward to more pictures of them.

They are gorgeous!!!! Congratulations! So exciting!

Opal is the Rex name for a blue agouti (as castor is the name for black agouti, amber is the name for chocolate agouti and lynx is the name for lilac agouti). So there's no opal otter. Otter (which is a pattern, like agouti and self are) comes in the four basic colors of black and its dilute, blue; and chocolate and its dilute, lilac. So if she looks blue (no ring color), she is a blue otter.

It's hard to tell, but in the middle photo she seems like she might be almost pale enough to be a lilac otter (though it could just be the power of suggestion since she's next to the chocolate). In the photo with the black otter in front, her head looks more like a blue otter.

What does her pedigree say?

Here are a blue otter rex and a lilac otter mini rex for comparison (images from Pictures of Colors)

what does the "legs" mean?

what does the "legs" mean?

I'm pretty sure it's like when a rabbit gets three wins you can add it to their pedigree (or something like that)

They are so beautiful I keep coming back to look at them! Really happy for you!!!

what does the "legs" mean?

a leg is a show term. it means she won a class with at least five rabbits from three different breeders.

Legs are winning at ARBA shows.

So now that I am not seeing white and yellow lines on the pavement and snow, plus a good nights sleep, I have a beautiful lilac otter. She is super sweet.
