The r.lack Siberian Hare, whilst supposed to be a distinct breed, has many of 

 the characteristics of the P.lack Flemish (iiants. When breeding the latter, one 

 is not surprised to get a percentage of offspring showing silver- or steel-grey ticking. 

 With true Siberian Fdacks. however, one does not expect this. It has been known 

 to happen, especially since the boom in TUacks.
