JT'S SPICED CIDER

AMBER REX STANDARD[1]

The undercolor is to be slate blue.  The intermediate ring color is to be golden orange. The surface color is to be light reddish-brown, carried well down the sides, lightly and evenly tipped with chocolate.     Belly is to be white or tan over dove-gray undercolor.    Eyes - Brown, ruby cast permissible.

Faults - Indistinct intermediate band, failure to show dove-gray undercolor on the belly.

See the official Amber Rex Standard as published in the Domestic Rabbits.

It has been 20 years since the last new variety (Black Otter) was accepted by the NRRC and the ARBA.  Thanks to Paul Becker's effort we now have a new variety to enjoy and show.  For additional insight into the dedication required to successfully introduce a new variety please see Paul's article on the Development of the Amber Rex.

The light reddish-brown surface color is  shown in the pictures.  The gold orange intermediate ring provides a distinct transition to the dove-gray undercoat.  While the Ambers ring pattern is less dramatic than the Castor ring patter it is distinct and complements the surface color.
