Zen described on of Kats ferrst by stating: >Sounds like a sable blaze (depending upon that white line on top) Alicia wrote: >Bill, I am confuces-- I though in patterns one was either a sabel or a >blaze-- is there actually combination classes in judging now????? It's my understanding that sable is a color and blaze is a pattern. Having never had either of these color/patterns, I don't know for sure. However, I do have 3 champagne's (cinnamons) and two of them are siamese (points). That means I can show them in both champagne (cinnamon) and siamese (point) at shows. As far as colors and what standards what organizations follow - it would be nice if everyone used the same standards and terms. However, that's never going to happen. My own opinion on the subject, I have only ever seen one ferret that I would call a cinnamon (at least by the descriptions used on LIFE's page) and I believe it may have been owned by the WarmFuzzy shelter. If anyone has a "real" cinnamon, I would like to see what it looks like, because the cinnamons I see at shows are NOT red. Mary and the gang of 9.... [Posted in FML issue 2306]
