What do you call this colour?

[Sabine]

This is my new bunny Raylan. I wonder what her colour is called. My guess is sable as it looks very similar to Asha's colour (who's a sable marten) the only difference is that the ends seem lighter, probably bleached out from the sun in summer

The link is wrong lol!

 

[Sabine]

Oops. I'll try again

Hope this works

 

[Sabine]

would anyone hazard a guess

 

[bunnybunbunb]

Sable, very lovely!

 

[BSAR]

I think Sable also. She is GORGEOUS!!

 

[littleruei]

Sable. She is unbelievingly beautiful!! OMG!

Just wondering... what breed is she? Angora mix?

 

[Sabine]

I thought lionhead but since she is a rescue I can't be sure if Angora is mixed in. My other lionheads (Benny and Lint) are not half as shaggy. So if anyone could confirm she is a lionhead.... (PS al lot of her facial hair just got cut in the picture as her previous owner had allowed it to go into rock hard dread locks)

Well, I would have called her a Jersey Wooly, myself. But if she had more hair around her face than that, mabye a Jersey/lionhead cross? I'm no expert on lionheads, but I have never seen one with that much hair before. You should aks Tiny' Mom, she is our lionhead expert.

I'm guessing a Teddy Lion, and I agree that she looks Sable.

A Teddy Lion???? Never heard of that before. Are they a particularily shaggy lionhead breed?

Teddy's are completely wooled.

A shame she is a rescue and over a year old alreadyy. Herself and Benny would have made lovely babies. Benny being a sable charly.... But it's not going to happen (sigh)

She looks like a bad jersey wooly that still has a jr coat, but she is probably just a teddy lionhead, here are some pictures of sable vs seal vs black.

Example of a sable

(Same rabbit without flash jr coat)

example of a seal

(Seal without flash (black one) same rabbit in jr coat)

example of a black

(Black, same rabbit without flash as jr)

 

[Sabine]

Looking at the pictures I think definately sable. I think the reason she resembles a jersey wooly is probably because we had to cut some of her facial hair and I have never heard of anyone breeding this breed in Irland.
Thanks for the pictures for comparison

 

[LedaHartwood]

I think the color is called BEAUTIFUL!

Very pretty bun. You're lucky to have 'em.

Looking at the photo again - I'd consider possible Seal.

I would say she is a Jersey Wooly and her color is a Siamese Sable. If she was a seal she would have a more even colored face, the SS's almost look like the have the points on the ears and muzzle area. Your bunny has those. JMO Thanks! Hope this helps.

*waves* Hi Devon!

Even with her being totally wooly I have to say Lionhead because Jerseys do not have the mane. Even with all the wool you can distinctly see a mane going on

 

[Sabine]

I'm intrigued. I'd be thrilled to own a jersey wooly as I have never seen them before. Unfortunately I'm not able to trace the breeder to check and don't want to get back in touch with her former owner. I should probably try and get some daylight pictures tomorrow from different angles
