[Jacob-list] genetics.....

I have several jacobs that are what I think are called "Chocolate Lilac" They 
are quite dark brown and do not fade with age, they do sun fade however. They 
are definitely different from the black and white jacobs. I can usually tell at 
birht by their faces where the color is most evident.
