What is Pippin's colouring called?

[jazxo]

I'd say an extreme version of seal point possibly with a bit of the Himalayan breed thrown in ....

Actually, when I went to get her I remember seeing her mum and she was pure white with dark brown points so you're probably right!

Oh maybe, I thought Himalayan was a breed though. Thanks

It is a breed, but also a colour as in Himalayan Netherland Dwarf.

Rabbit genes fascinate me! Poor Bugsy is just a bog standard agouti, Chloe is a non-pure black as she has too many white hairs, Poppy is a part lionhead harlequin...again inperfect marking, and hardly any mane :lol: And Pebs is a butterfly gone dreadfully wrong but I love them all

I love it too! I really want to learn more about it. They sound seriously adorable

She could be a Smoke Pearl as opposed to Siamese Sable ha ha. Goodnight folks.

She's a seal point (Might also be called sable point, but seal is just a really dark seal point)

Himalayan's have solid coloured points (black, blue, chocolate or lilac), whereas the dark bits on your rabbits extremities fade to brown, and Pippin isn't entirely brown with black points like a seal or siamese sable would be, so yeah the in-between is Seal/Sable Point

Rabbit genetics really are fascinating, and not all that complicated to be honest (although remembering which combinations produces what can be :lol: ), although I never really use them as I can tell most colours from photo's
