This is a very rare recessive gene. There are very few in the world today and not many breeders working with them. A very beautiful chinchilla with a true 'golden' appearance. At first glance they may appear similar to a homo beige or a PW, but they are quite different in true appearance. The Goldbar has the golden colour spread thickly over the tips of the back, tapering off down the sides. The under-fur and belly are white. The eyes are a dark red. The Goldbar is not related to the Wellman or Sullivan beige, nor to the Wilson white. The first Goldbar was born 5/11/95 from two standards purchased from Ellis Adcock at June Baar's herd in California.
