Can't totally agree with you Steve. It does depend on what is unique about a breed. And you can never predict what will come in useful. There use to be, in...
Austrian breed popular across Europe and standardised in the UK. Distinctive heavy breed with amazing colour, goes right down the hair shaft. Search on Blaue...
I agree with Pam once lost it is gone forever. You will not be able to get the gene pool again in its "pure" form. It is important to preserve these rare...
Judy; if i am not mistaken, the Vienna White is a blue-eyed white and even the blue Vienna has blue eyes. Is this not the original source of the BEW mutation?...
Is/was this breed similar to the Imperial Blues? I have been searching for info on them ever since I saw the column Hostorical Speaking on them in DR. I...
The Blue Imperials were smaller than the Blue Vienna and had mandolin type (unlike the Blue Vienna that were more commercial-like in type and weighed an...
Judy that is an angle I had not thought of. We must save these old fashoned breeds if not just for their unique qualities but for the thought of food and...
Yes the Vienna White is an all blue-eyed white reed; as I said it is the origin of the vienna gene v that produces BEW in other breeds. The blue Vienna is a...
Hi, A friend of mine is contemplating breeding her broken blue with a broken lilac... both mini rex. She's curious what she could expect in the litter. I don't...
Annie: As always, there are "ifs" in here... She should expect blues and broken blues (and possibly charlies). Both rabbits are self and dilute, and the lilac...
thanks for the quick response to my question. I passed on the info to my friend. One of these days I'll figure out how this stuff works. Anyone have a...

Try Glenna Huffmon's book "Rabbit Coat Color Genetics". Simple, easy to understand, you can get it from most of the cage dealers, Klubertanz equipement,...
Just purchased my first netherlands. One is a gorgeous blue doe and the buck is a blue otter. Did what I was always told and went for quality vs color so I...
I breed all my blue otters to other blue otters. I really don't have problems with toenails- mainly my issue is white hairs growing in once the rabbits get a...
Congratulations on your 1st NDs. If they both have good nail color it should be fine. I would suggest that any future additions be black. You don't want to...
... I often read such things, but here all breeder breed the colors separate and the rabbits have nevertheless the right nail color. ... Thats the point with...

That is true, Renate. Unfortunately, here in the US, white nails in NDs is an issue, and dilutes are notorious for it. So much so, that judges will look very...
... it should be fine. I would suggest that any future additions be black. You don't want to breed dilute for generations. That's when it could become a...
I've bred dilute colored rabbits for years..... The only time I've seen toe nail color to be an issue in dilutes is when there are some other underlying issues...
A friend has a himi mini rex doe to breed, and wants to darken her points, mainly the feet. She currently doesn't have a himi buck to use. Would she be better...
Dilute to dilute does not, not, not cause colour problems. It is breeders who do not select carefully for proper, rich colour that cause colour problems....
I have to agree...........I too would use a solid black. JMHO Denisea Frank Still <fstill2@...> wrote: Becky Vickers wrote: A friend has a himi mini...
Nope, dilutes nails should not fade with age. I have a 5-1/2 year old American Blue buck that has dark nails. Have a good day! Franco Rios ... it should be...
I agree with Renate and Sarah, Breeding dilutes to dilutes does not cause color problems or white nails. American Blues have been bred together generation...
... yes, not the albino, its recessive to the himi, therefore disturbing. My suggestion would be to use a rabbit with the steel gene, if you have. It gives a...

Two suggestions; never use rew; a himi carrying rew tends to have smaller lighter points. Never use a rabbit that is non extension or carrying non extension; a...
Okay, since I'm starting to get so many orange...and some nice ones!!!, I am wanting to know the best combinations to keep the nice orange and avoid the smutty...
Thanks guys. We feel better about our decision to use a black. Now we need to check for the extension gene. Always something, LOL. ... smaller lighter points. ...
