difference between pink white/recessive white/white mosaic

[rcr]

Although this picture isn't the best, I thought it would be interesting to show the difference in color between a pink white, recessive white and white mosaic. The pink white is left, recessive white middle and mosaic right. Compliments of Dip, Treasure and Gracie. )

How did you get them to stay all squished together like that in one spot long enough to get a photo...velcro????

Wow, the recessive white looks so dark next to its "siblings". Are they always born like that and then lighten as they age?

Gracie is a cutie!

LoL
I might need some of that chinnie velcro so I get altogether pictures!

I have never seen a recessive white before, The fur kinda looks pinkish to me.

Recessive whites are actually a beige mutation. That is the darkest RW I've ever seen...

 

[Godins Chinchillas]

He/she is dark. The color was not what I expected from a RW. I've never seen one in person. Do you have pics of a lighter phase RW?

 

[Godins Chinchillas]

Edited to add-


Are they born pretty light and darken as they age?

 

[Riven]

They look like a pink white when born, then darken. All of my RW's were this phase: http://www.chins-n-hedgies.com/forums/showthread.php?t=28139&highlight=calyx And they were darker than most I'd seen.

Mine are lighter and breed for light to medium, my preference.

Interesting comparison! thank you for posting.

That looks way awfully dark to me, too, but then again so do the ears on the mosaic and the ear spots on the pink white, so it's probably just lighting, or too much contrast?

Here I have a pink white (L), lowe recessive white (C) and homo beige (R). Photo was taken under full spectrum lights - and I don't think I adjusted the brightness/contrast.

I was wondering about the ears on the mosaic! I've never seen black ears like that, although I wish it was possible. Your photography theory makes sense.

 

[Riven]

Not sure on contrast, I just assumed that the white was a white eb due to the dark ears...

 

[saphire]

Mine are like Mish's picture and lighter in some.

Mish May I have permission to use your photo?

Very pretty animals!!

The lighting wasn't the best which is why I mentioned it at the being of the post. The picture was taken on an overcast evening in natural light. She is definitely a recessive white out of the RNL herd.


Here's a few more pics of the same chin for comparison. Lighting makes all the difference.

And this is because she was offended that her mutation was called into question.

I don't think anyone was doubting you. You could definately tell she was different. I was just surprised on how dark she was. Have you ever shown a RW? I've yet to see any on the tables.

I look forward to seeing some in person, and under the show lights! The people I know who have seen them in person compliment the unique color.

I too would love to see some in person under show lights! Who wants to be the first daring person?

I can bring one or two to the shindig (again, I brought two last year). But I don't feel they're anywhere near ready to be shown. They have very poor fur strength, no density, and lack size/conformation.
