Sallander vs Sable Point vs Sable Point Agouti

22 10:14:28

Question
My mini lops recently had a litter and I am unsure of the colour of one of the babies.  I believe it to be one of the following "Sallander", "Sable Point" or "Sable Point Agouti". The genotype of the parents is as follows  Aa BB CchdCchl DD ee and aa BB C- DD ee which means that all three colours are genetically possible.  Can you please tell me how to differentiate visually between these colours. Would a sable point agouti have a white belly and eye circles while the other two would have a grey coloured belly?

Answer
Hello Kari !
Welll you have a good question and I believe you are correct about the sable Pt having the white  belly and eye circles. but it should be more cream colored not white. you can go to this website and get more help by finding the mini lop club and checking there.
