Factors that Complicate the Correct Identification of the Chinchilla Silvers

There are many factors that complicate the correct identification of the Chinchilla Silver. These include:The neither/nor or spoiled that are often registered and shown as shaded silver because most judges feel a silver with a good amount of tipping on the back is shaded rather than chinchilla, even if the face has little or no tipping and there is little or no tipping on the legs or feet. Also, a kitten can be bron nearly a pure white with only a trace amount of tipping, then later at one year of age change to a significant tipping on its back, then at three or four years of age, the Kitten will again be clearly chinchilla. In my case with Fairy Tale, I think she is really a shaded silver. One things if for certain with the silvers is their eye color must be either the emerald green or blue-green color. This is unique to the silvers and is what helps to set them apart from all other Persians. Silver persians are cherished highly for their beautiful eye color.
