Description

Male Black Pearl Chinchilla, rehome fee $1,200 This mutation is not a variation of black velvet or ebony. It is actually a variation of the standard coat color; no TOV, black velvet, or ebony genes are present in this coloration. Rather than having grey sides on the coat like standard grey, they are all black. The head, neck, shoulders, back, hips, sides, feet and tail are black. One way to tell the difference between a black pearl and a black velvet would be to look at the veiling. A black velvet will have more pronounced grey on the sides of the coat, whereas a black pearl will be much darker down to the belly. This color should have a bright white belly, black eyes, and dark ears. Due to it being a new mutation, the show standard for this color is still in development as there are a limited number of exceptional quality black pearls in the United States. Many black pearls still need improvement in size and veiling; they also require work regarding belly coloration. This is a recessive color mutation and shows with brown to black eyes, a white belly and all black on top.
