Newest Standardized Rat: B.E. Siamese

The newest rat color to be standardized in AFRMA as of September 25, 2016—the Black-Eyed Siamese! Thanks to Nikki Kimura, Pacific Coast Rattery, and to the other breeders for working on this color so they could become recognized in AFRMA. Starting with the Oct. 29, 2016, show they can now be shown in the regular classes towards BIS.
