SATIN MARKED

Any recognised
marked cavy can be satinised, as long as it conforms to the Australian Standard for that breed.

As with most marked breeds, it is quite hard to get the markings / patches of colour in the correct places, so because of this there are not that many marked breeds being satinised.
A beautiful example of a not to commonly seen satin dalmation (this one is chocolate agouti).  This cavy "Renaissance Russian Roulette"  went onto become a Double Champion and some of his career highlights include 2 Best in Show and 2 Reserve in Show wins.

Often what may happen is the markings are correct, but with poor satinisation, and vice versa.

The most common marked breeds that are satinised are the
himalayan, however the
occasional satin
dalmation is seen.
