Saffron, I believe is the newer NGS name for Red Fox.

Subject: Re: Spotted question (nothing serious)
ohhhhweeee Yal! I am thoroughly enjoying the feed back! I have to say, I'v
gotten a few chuckles from some of the replies.
One of these replies suggested that I not damned folks from other countries
do things the way we yanks ;-) do things. That was not my intent at all.
Rather, I think that our respective gerbil organizations could work together
to gain as much commonality as possible. I know full
well that one language does not always translate easily into another, if at
all.
To illustrate my point take the following example;
NGS: White Bellied Cream AGS: Ivory Cream
Why can't we "yanks" use the same term as the NGS? It is more accurately
descriptive of this color.
Now, before somebody gets their hackles up, what I am speaking of is in no
way a criticism of anyone's current methods and terms. I am speaking as a
person who found learning about my critters colors and genetics a long and
VERY confusing process. Science was not a good subject for me in school.
Please do give your feed back. Lighting a fire is sometimes a good way to
incite change!
Ta!
P.S. Is the NGS term Saffron the same color as the AGS Topaz? What are the
genetics for Saffron?
