Chinchilla pattern

Touch of velvet

Chinchilla pattern: a darker veil over the face, down the spine and over the tail, in good animals down the sides too, with dark stripes down the front paws, from the dominant touch of velvet (TOV) gene: black velvet on standard gray, brown velvet on beige, also TOV white, violet and sapphire. It can take a year to show fully.
