Tammy and her chestnut Giant Angora waiting for judge Kate.



Chestnut could be of different intensities, some very dark while some very light.



The darker chestnut was called "wild gray" in the 80s, the reason for the darkiness is due to the "Umbros" gene.   The very light ones are the ones that carry the wide band gene.   Then there are the ones in between, the ones describe in the SOP.
