Depending upon how dark the color is your ferret sounds like a chocolate or champagne blaze (maybe wannabe blaze). Is the arrow marking a line from the face toward the back of the head? That would be a blaze. Is it only a mark on the back of the head it is 'wannabe' (My term based on AFA/LIFE/FURO/Independant standards - also called a 'blaze mutt') Champagne is a dilute of chocolate. If the color is rather like a Milky Way bar its chocolate (funny that name huh?) but if it is quite a bit lighter like 'oyster white' up to cappacino or something like dishwater blond its champagne. There are light chocolates that seem to be very like dark champagnes. Its a scale thing not a definite line. They are both the same color genes but with a different amount of concentration. bill and diane killian zen and the art of ferrets [Posted in FML issue 1461]
