LYNX OK, well, there is definitely a debate on the 'lynx' issue! A TRUE lynx is a dilute chocolate chestnut (A-bbC-ddE-), but for the most part, a dilute fawn/orange is recognized as a lynx in the lops (A-B-C-ddee). The doe on the left is registered a lynx, but is not a dilute chocolate chestnut, but a dilute fawn/orange. The doe on the right IS a TRUE lynx. Someday I will get pics of the two colors side by side! |

| A lot of people have asked me at shows: "What is the difference between a 'chestnut' and a 'chocolate chestnut' " ??? Well, to the right is a picture of a chestnut agouti (Vail's Meg) next to a chocolate chestnut (Vail's Missy). The differences between the two are pretty evident when they are side by side. |
