The genetics
Genotype at_ B_ C_ dd E_. Blue otter is a dilute black otter, with the dilution gene turning the black body to slate.
What a good one looks like
The markings still need to be crisp, even though the contrast is inherently gentler. Body colour should be an even slate.
What to check for
Markings that get lost against the paler body. Uneven body colour, which blue always exposes.
Is blue otter actually rare?
Uncommon, and people search for it specifically. Softer and less dramatic than black otter, which some buyers prefer and some do not.
