Fawn and Cream





In the Angora color guide, Fawn is a non-dilute color that has brown eyes.  The color genotype is A---C-D-ee.

In the Netherland Dwarf breed, the comparable non-dilute is called Orange.

Both names are accepted as a part of the ARBA Standard of Perfection.




In the Angora color guide, the dilute of Fawn is called Cream, the eye color is gray.  The genotype is A---C-ddee. 

In the Netherland Dwarf breed, the dilute is called Fawn.
 
Both names are accepted as a part of the ARBA Standard of Perfection.

Dilute is recessive to non-dilute; two non-dilute parents may produce a dilute offspring if both parents carry the dilute gene.  Two dilute parents cannot produce a non-dilute offspring.
