| Broken Black Otter | ||
As kits, they are very similar to an Agouti looking kit - inside of ears are light. The middle 2 broken kits are
Broken Otters. The top kit is a Broken Black. Picture courtesy of Sandy LaBeau.
|
Now that the same kits are older, the tan markings are apparent indicating they are Otters and not Agouti's.
The two kits on the right are the Broken Black Otters. Kit on the left, is a broken black. Picture courtesy of Sandy LaBeau.

Sable Martin 12/30/11.
Unrecognized, but Beautiful!
Thank you to Emily Meagher for letting me use these pictures of her color project. For me, it's easier to remember that a SABLE Martin is just a Siamese Sable with the Tan Gene instead of 'aa'. A SILVER Martin is just a Chinchilla with a Tan Gene instead of the Agouti Gene (A).
