Wilson white or pink white?

[Strevale]

I have two white babies, and one is definitely a pink white, but the other one has slightly darker pink ears. Are wilson's born with dark ears or do they darken over time?

If the chin has red eyes it is a pink white.

It's probably a pink white if it has pink ears. Could you possibly post pictures?

Red eyes are a dead give away, like Cathy said.

Wilson Whites have dark ears and dark eyes. Pink Whites have pink ears and red eyes (sometime so dark they look almost black) or pink eyes.

No one answered me about the ear color of wilson white newborns. Their father is a pink white and his eyes look black to me, and the babies' eyes look black too. I don't know how to check without shining a bright light into their eyes, and I don't want to do that.

Take a picture. Newborn ears on a pw are pink. White mosaics ears can be either light to dark grey.

I have never had a "Wilson white" born here but had two adult Wilson white males, and they had black and pink ears...almost "blotchy". I would guess your kits are just pink whites. It would help though if pictures were given.

I have had several mosaics born here with pink ears...no beige in the lineage, just mosaic and standard. If you can post a picture it would help, but sometimes you just have to watch them as they grow. If they are mosaic, they WILL develop dark coloring on their ears as they age.

Mosaic when she was born...

Mosaic at about 6 months, notice the dark splotches on her ears...

Ear color is not always a tell tale sign on a chin. I have even seen them with one pink and one dark colored ear which caused a little bit of a stir at the ECBC show it was entered in. It fit in both the light ear and dark ear groups.

I think I saw that chin and wondered how in the world they would decide!!!

The ears of the chin born with slightly darker pink ears seem to be getting darker. I think we have a wilson white on our hands =)
