Argente Bleu

The Silver CountryMarket price about 160 carrots

Slate blue under a silver frost, like a roof after rain. Born blue-black; it pales to lavender-grey as it grows.

The real Argente Bleu

The real breed comes from France. One of the French argenté breeds: a blue undercoat under silver-tipped fur.

What the standard asks for

  • not a dwarf
  • upright ears
  • a normal coat
  • no mane
  • a solid coat
  • a coat in the self family
  • the colour Blue
  • size at least 45 on the game's 0 to 100 scale
  • silvering (the Silver Country's gene)

A rabbit that meets every point counts as a Argente Bleu; among breeds it meets, the game counts it as the one whose standard it meets on the most points.

What the judge looks at

Once a rabbit meets the standard, the judge scores how close it is to the breed's ideal. Every point away costs it.

  • size: 58 on the game's 0 to 100 scale
  • ear droop: 0 on the game's 0 to 100 scale
  • ear length: 56 on the game's 0 to 100 scale
