WORKING STANDARD:
Please note:
This color description is for a Black Self with the Champagne silvering gene.
Other colors can be ‘silvered/champagned’ but their color expression [phenotype]
will not be the same as it is on a Black self.
The body color shall have a light silvery appearance with a bluish under color showing through the silver. The under color should be a dark slate blue, carried as deep down the hair shaft as possible. The entire body is to be evenly (though moderately) intermingled with longer jet black guard hairs, giving an old silver effect when viewed from a distance. The nose and muzzle [AKA butterfly] areas should be slightly darker than the over all body coloration. Head and ears to match the body color as closely as possible. The fur should lie smoothly and have a shiny glow. Allowances to be given for 1) fading in seniors showing age; 2) juniors lacking jet black guard hairs which take longer to grow in than their normal coat hair does. Eye color: Brown.
FAULTS:
Body color too light or too dark; under color too light, too dark or very faded; lack of jet black guard hairs in seniors; head and ear color considerably darker than body color; brassiness or lack of sheen.
DISQUALIFICATIONS:
Less than 50 % [Champagne] color showing on the head and body.
NOTE:
Color on juniors and young seniors may not be completely finished when they are shown. Any rabbit not showing at least 50 percent of the Champagne color shall be disqualified. [Black] Champagne Dwarfs are born black and develop the Champagne color in as they molt.
