What does a Fawn look like?

OK, so now that you've seen how Lynx develop and are familiar with what a Lynx looks like, what does a Fawn look like?
Fawns can vary greatly in appearance from that of resembling a Lynx (almost to the 'T') to a beautiful pale straw coloration that is also commonly referred to as "Cream" in other breeds.

As I do testbreedings and as they appear in other litters, I will be updating this page to eventually show the vast spectrum of color possibilities with this


Let's start out easy and show you the development of a 'clean' pale straw colored Fawn. At birth, these clean Fawns will look pretty much identical to REW's. Sometimes it's difficult to tell these Fawns apart from REW's until the fur starts to grow in - usually between 2-5 days of age depending on how 'clean' the color is on the Fawn. They are pink to pinkish red at birth. Unfortunately, I do not have any birth pictures to show you at this time, but I will add some as they appear in my testbreeding litters.




The pictures above shows a Fawn and a REW at 9 days old. Close-up and detailed pictures of the Fawn are also shown. This particular Fawn has a very clean gorgeous pale straw coloration that makes it somewhat difficult to clearly see the Agouti markings on the belly, eyes, inside of the ears, nostrils, and jaw line.





Now at 20 days old, the white Agouti markings are much more evident against the pale straw coloration. Notice how there is no evidence of 'smut' or lacing, or ticking to the fur? The pale straw coloration begins at the tip of the hairshaft and gradually fades into a white undercolor at the base of the hairshaft.
