colour?
« on: October 29, 2010, 12:48:57 AM »

the chin i saw at the rescue yesterday - they told me she was grey, she's definitely not but i'm not sure what she is!

she does look like a beige to me (i have 4 hetero beiges) and she has very dark freckles on her ears. her eyes, however are definitely not red, they are dark (definitely not dark red). i don't quite remember what her tummy was like but i think it was white.

what colour is she?

ok, i think she's beige. her eyes are very very very dark red - you can only see they're red when the light reflects off them. :)

i thought so too. i have four beiges but they're too young to have freckles yet. her eyes are red though - we just couldn't see it to start with! even the vet said she must be some sort of genetic freak because her eyes did appear dark. they only appear red if they reflect light at a certain angle.

The red eyes come in so many shades, from almost a pink to a deep burgundy.
Do shine a small light in her eye to make sure. ;)
