Awesome girls!
Your Russian dove agoutis look pretty much alike French Russian agouti. Probably because our agouti (and as a consequence all our agouti-based varieties) is generally warmer and paler than agouti outside of France, and closer to the foreign standards for cinnamon. We already noticed that when comparing with pictures from the NFRS forum. It is interesting to observe it also on Dutch ratties.

Interesting! Doesn't help that the difference is pretty minimal (at one point I had two Russian agoutis. a British blue agouti and a Russian dove agouti in the same cage, madness!) and pictures can make the colour look different. Geronimo is also chocolate-based Russian dove, rather than mink-based. Didn't find out until I mated her to a cinnamon buck of mine.
