... if you have to. ... Is this genetic sequence what helps eliminate the lighter colored belly band on reds? Just plain old Agouti with homozygous non ...
Hi Kim, Yep, I'm developing Tan Pattern angoras! Right now they are few and far between, plus I have a waiting list, but fortunately there are now a couple of...
I've been lurking for quite a long time now, and right now, because of the recent thread I've suddenly become confused about a genetic subject I thought I knew...
Marty, I don't know a lot about reds, but my understanding was that they are non-extension ALL the time and SOMETIMES wideband. The ones with wideband would...
OK, so next stupid question. Why then don't Reds (non extention) have darker "points" all the time? I have seen some non extention Reds (Torte in thier...
Hallo, both works in a similar way. The extension serie determinates the extension of black pigment. Nonextension on agoutis gives a Rabbit with not extended...

Dear Marty; I think that the less smutty Reds are almost all wideband. Some only appear less smutty because they are chocolate based rather than black based....
Thank you, Renata. I have a red breeding program in German cross angoras and I have a chestnut buck whose belly is 2/3 dark. I suspected it was related to...
Helga, I really like the way you put it. The Ermine step is what I am working on with a few of my lines as well. I just got two Ermine that are so white that...
Jane, I'd like you to read this article by C.A Sharp. http://www.ashgi.org/articles/breeding_bad_genes.htm It is about dogs, but the ideas can be generalized...
I see your point. I think I should have been a little more clear. I dont want to argue with anyone -- this is a debate if that's okay with you. I'm not talking...
Sorry if this double posts. I posted it an hour ago and it isn't showing up, so I've come online to post. I understand what you are saying and I do like...
Sorry about the over generalization;) No offense intended. This right here - step #3: this is all I ask. It's all any of us can ask. It just seems there are so...
I will cull all but 3 of my rabbits and start over. I'm just not willing to deal with ALL of these faults in one line. Jane I believe that is the best choice....
-Donna thank you for the link to CA Sharps' article. I have bookmarked it for future reference. I agree as you do, if we want to blame the original people who...
Well, let's see Diane .... I've been breeding them since 2001 -- approximately 80 kits every 6 months from at least (some times more) 6 different does per...

Hello :) I've been away again so playing catch up. A sable or chin based steel has grey tips, hence "silver tipped." Where as a full color steel has tan...
Can anyone tell me what an Angora gene carrier would look like? I have some mutts that have an Angora in their background. Quite often in the litters there...
IMPO I think you are seeing modifiers at work. The Angora gene is a recessive the same as the Rex gene and the Satin gene, and you wouldn't be able to "see"...
there isnt an "angora" gene per se. there is a Length gene "L" dominant for short hair, "ll" recessive for long hair. now, as to how it determines just what...
I have read that the way the wool gene works is by length of time that the hair grows. That normal furred rabbits fur grows for a few weeks and a switch tells...
Hi Jennifer, I've done some crossbreeding with Angoras and shorthairs in my Tan Angora program, and I honestly cannot tell who is carrying angora and who isn't...
Forwarded With Permission... I'm sorry for cross posting, but I feel this is very important information to know. It's geared towards Dog breeders, so...
Anybody have a picture or sure fire way to tell if a tort is chocolate or black based? Are chocolate tort obvious or hard to tell appart from the black tort? ...
Hi there. I have Torts like this, I think. I use Torts in developing Sable Point Mini Rex lines and sometimes the Torts look a little "faded" - the black is...
