[https://mmcrabbits.com/BCWiki/index.php/Light_Chinchilla "cchd" or "chd" is Dark Chinchilla,] The second Allele on the Coverage Color marker is "chd" Dark Chinchilla. This coverage marker strips most of the pheomelanin (red/yellow) and it turns grey/white while leaving the eumelanin (B) (black/chocolate) alone. chd mostly effects rabbits who are Agouti dominate coat types. and can hide on self rabbits, "tan" rabbits who exhibit chinchilla genes will have whiter bellies and ear instead of tan, and are called martins or foxes. This gene can be modified by recessive genes at "d", "e" and "En" to name a few. Some examples of Chinchilla Color Expression that allows the base color to be seen but Masks the pheomelanin , produce your Martin, Fox, Ermine, Chinchilla, Silver Tipped Steels, and Magpies, and will be expressed as shading on Sallander. these rabbits can have eye color ranging from a Grey, to a blush steel gray , to dark brown. | [https://mmcrabbits.com/BCWiki/index.php/Light_Chinchilla "cchd" or "chd" is Dark Chinchilla,] The second Allele on the Coverage Color marker is "chd" Dark Chinchilla.

"chlchl" or "chl-" is Light Chinchilla, The third allele on the Coverage Color marker is "chl" Light Chinchilla. This coverage marker strips some of the pheomelanin (red/yellow) and it turns grey/white while leaving the eumelanin (B) | "chlchl" or "chl-" is Light Chinchilla, The third allele on the Coverage Color marker is "chl" Light Chinchilla. This coverage marker strips some of the pheomelanin (red/yellow) and it turns grey/white while leaving the eumelanin (B) (black/chocolate) alone. chl effects self and agouti rabbit coat types. "chl" is a co-dominate gene and depending on what other genes are pairs with it will have variations of color. Also note not all breeds follow the same naming structure that I am using so I am going to quantify with a description of the color what I am referring to in this particular article. | ||
Note: " Sable" and "Seal" as color names are sometimes switched around when describing the color in different breeds. This was an issue I ran into while researching this post, so I am sticking with the more common distinctions. For this Articles definitions "Seal" color is defined as a Homozygous pairing of the "chl" allele expressed as "chlchl". Sable is defined as a heterozygous single expression of "chl-" | |||
structure that I am using so I am going to quantify with a description of the color what I am referring to in this particular article. | Agouti based Rabbits exhibiting the chl- allele are called Siamese. A Siamese sable shows a pattern similar to a tort, where the base color is deepest at the points and fades into a washed out body color. | ||
The Seal (chlchl) Color is deeper then Sable, and will have more shading of the rabbits base color over the back and loin with the color fading out on the sides. Seal is only expressed on self (aa) and Tan (at-) rabbits. | |||
"Sable" Rabbits only have a single expression of the "chinchilla Light " (chl-) Allele. Sable Coat is only expressed on self (aa) and Tan (at-) rabbits. They are also shaded but with have larger areas of the lighter color a the darker base colored area will be more concentrated at the points with an even fading into the body color. | |||
"tan" rabbits who exhibit chinchilla light genes will have whiter bellies and ear instead of tan, and are called " sable martins"(at chl-) or "sable point"(at chl-) or "seal point"(at chlchl). This gene can be modified by recessive genes at "d", "e" and "En" to name a few. | |||
