Marsh Mellow, A Pinked Eyed White or Albino ?

[newjohn]

This is Marsh Mellow
My Daughter And I had long debates on her name,
Because of her long hair, I wanted Cotton Ball.
My Daughter is VERY persistent and worn me down.

I have a question on her.
As you can see, she is All White
Very Faint Pink Eyes

Everyone thinks she is Albino,
BUT, she has Grey / Brown coloration on her ears similar to a Himalayan.

Either way,
She is a great little Girl
I just felt sorry for her mother ( Peanut ) at birth.
She was a huge baby, just glad she was the second out.

What a beautiful piggie! What a gorgeous fluff ball she is! Sorry i'm no expert on breeds at all!!!!

She is a cross between a Abby and a Long Hair.
Just waiting to see how long her hair will get.

As far as im aware you dont get albino pigs. They are called pink eyed whites (pews) you also get dark eyed whites (dews) and blue eyed white (bews)

The himalayan gets their name because they are a marked breed ie they have a white coat, pink eyes and dark ears feet and a coloured smutt. You will never get a dark eyed himalayan.

The term albino is often misused.
