Hi Suzy, My best guess is, if neither parent shows the fault, then it most likely is recessive. So both parents probably carried it. I don't know if it is...

Melissa, I wanted to add something to the -in my experience- very good advice given by Jane. I have also found that a weak solution of Oxytetracycline in ...
Thanks for all the info and the culling advise. This doe seems to be a very mild case and is a really nice type otherwise. I've had another judge examine her...
... Are there steel genes (Es) in the lionhead breed? I am guessing there are, and your descriptions sounds much more like steel than 'bad squirrel'. Steel...
Thank you to those who have given me advice. I dont really believe the myth that Charlies are not as in good health as any other rabbit. It is there coat...
