| The sable point has sepia brown ears, feet, tail and face mask. The body color fades to a very light cream color. Heavy shading on the body is generally faulted. Pure white body, belly or under tail may disqualified in some breeds. Eyes are brown and may show a ruby glow (especially those carrying the REW gene). Watch for blue-gray eyes in the sable point (disqualification - these are "blue point" aka "pewter point"). Also watch for tan pattern markings on sable points (disqualification - sable point marten). ARBA breeds that accept the sable point variety are as follows: Amercian Fuzzy Lop - (Sable Point) Shown as "Solid" - Disqualify for another color other than sepia. English, French and Satin Angora - (Pearl) Shown as "Colored" - Disqualify for pure-white body wool. Holland Lop - (Sable Point) - Shown as "Solid" Jersey Wooly - (Sable Point) - Shown as "Shaded" - Disqualify for pure-white body wool or white under tail. French, Mini, English Lop - (Sable Point) Shown as "Colored" Mini Rex - (Sable Point accepted 2-1-07) - Shown by variety - Disqualify for white under tail. Netherland Dwarf - (Sable Point) - Shown by variety, then by shaded group. - Disqualify for white under tail. Satin - (Siamese) - Shown by variety - Disqualify for blue or lilac. These lighter "Sable Point" Satins are not uncommon on the show table, although the Standard calls for a medium brown body. |
