In this case I'd say she's a D'Anver/d'Uccle mix then.

Could she be a D'Anver/d'Uccle x d'Uccle? Rosecombs are dominant so if she were a first generation D'Anver/d'Uccle she would have a rosecomb.

No no. I didn't mean D'Anver X d'Uccle. I meant one or the other. Sorry for the confusion lol.

Ah okay. Carry on then.

I agree a mix is a definite possibility, because brown reds are so rare, but what’s she mixed with then. What color d’Anver would cause that much solid black without having much or any leakage? And her overall body shape is very d’Uccle/d’Anver-like so I doubt she’s mixed with something else. Especially with that beard. Thanks for the mention Laura!!

Thanks for the info guys!
But, anyone got an actual pic of a red brown so I can compare?

Wow lovely, are they any more common than a brown red d’Uccle? This thread is so interesting

I’m not sure, but I couldn’t find any pictures of brown red d’uccles.
