Hi Mirjam. You need to know that the USA (and the UK) have bred for dark steel rather than the light steel preferred in mainland Europe. There are good...
And did ya' know those extra teeth are why rabbits are considered a different species from rodents? Rabbits being Lagamorphs Marty. ... normal. All rabbits...
Has anyone any idea of what a silvered steel might look like? Would it even make a recognizable difference to have the silver gene in there? Just curious....
Speaking of Champagnes.....I am contemplating getting a trio. I have asked a few different breeders about the genetics and they didn't know. So what is the...
what is your question??? Karin ... From: carla fillbach To: rabbit_genetics_quickpost@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, June 01, 2007 12:20 PM Subject: RE:...

Carla- if you are needing to improve both eye color and ring definition, that indicates there is a good chance the rabbits you have are fawns (brown eyes, no...
i live in corvallis montana, i have a lynx buck with the correct eye color and ring color what would happen if i bred him back to his mother? (she has slight...
I would try both breedings myself - the lilac to the lynx's dam and the lynx back to his dam - depending on type too of course. I only linebreed/inbreed...
What is the sire to your lynx buck? If you got your lynx buck out of your doe bred to a lilac, then I would do the same thing again. But I would have to say...
I have a kit in my latest litter, from the top it appears to be a really nice cinnamon, nice wide slate undercolour with a thin band of orange an just the tips...
Sounds to me like she's a widebanded Cinnamon lacking rufus. In a recent litter from a Lynx doe bred to Castor, I was blessed with a widebanded Castor doe......
She might be a wideband castor/cinnamon or a wideband fawn with a lot of smut. The agouti gene is completely dominant to the tan pattern gene, so you cannot...
Hi Is there an 'iddjits guide' site or a book that IDs the colors possible in angoras, with pics so you have a hope of telling what is what? Maybe even...
Sarah, she said she had a wide slate and narrow intermediate band....that says no wideband to me. There *are* such animals as those with no belly undercolor,...
Lol, oh I'm sure they do it just for that and dusty (the mother) likes to give me at least 1 in every litter that I can't identify easily. Just to jump in with...
In Standard Rex, the undercolor (base color) is to be cream-white. Unfortunately, this is kind of contrary to the actual genetics, which would make it dove...
Don't I know it, lol, I have a gorgeous lynx buck in the same litter and he looks great from the top, he's got really good ring definition only problem is he's...
Okay, i posted (I hope if the moderator approves it) a question about this on a big lionhead site but I thought I'd bring it up here too. What can cause the...
Helga- I am just guessing here, but I would think that usually long hair is created by the same gene in all rabbits (usually), and that it is modifiers which...
Oh, hi Monica! we meet again, this time not about the Vienna Blue, but about what is going on in Lionheads. About modifiers for the degree of extension of ...
I know when the first Lionheads were getting more popular here, lots of people were using JerseyWoolies to improve type and expand the gene pool. My guess is...
Helga, In all the years I have been working with the Lionheads I have seen pretty much everything...LOL! The ones I started with 6 years ago, were the European...
Wowee, what a lot of information you shared with us with this post. Thank you so much for taking the time. I agree with you absolutely that all the breeders...
Looks like a sable to me- but I am no pro on JW colors. Monica moonshinebaby11 <moonshinebaby13@...> wrote: Can someone tell me her color? Thank you...
