HI I have had this problem in my dog kennel. My vet said bleach is not really effective and recommended Roccal-D Plus. It is expensive but works. It is a...
Hey... thanks for posting! Actually, anything can be steeled. Yes, black steel is a self that is steeled. We know this to be true by test breeding. The...
Thank you Donna; I was just looking for that same section in my Merck! I might add that the species of coccidia carried by poultry is not the same one as...
I personally don't know if I believe that there even IS an E(d) gene. I think that getting a steel from two 'aparent' selfs is more likely that one is a...
. . .this is why black Dutch are so dark and rich in their black coloring. They are full extension darks! I have heard the Dutch breeders say again and again...
Hi everyone, I have another question in regards to color in otters. Can someone explain the genetics behind how body color is produced on each individual...
Not so in Netherland Dwarfs Karen. There are those Steels that are self Blacks. Not just here but in Europe as well. On the continent they call what we refer...
Hi Danielle, I have notice this in my tan pattern angoras. The otters with no wideband have the best body color, clear down to the skin. With one recessive...
I am not sure about this, but it seems to me we see similar things happening in the American Blue and White. The American Blue is supposed to be the darkest...
Hi Wendy, The self gene (aa) is recessive to the otter gene (at) so if the parents carry the otter gene they would be otter. Otters can carry the self gene...
Wendy, no they can not unless one of the parents is a steeled agouti or a steeled otter which means that they could look like a self but they are not. Sorry,...
Ok, I've usually gone under the assumption that a Siamese is the same genotype of a sable point: aa B_ D_ cchlcch ee However I'm starting to wonder if a rabbit...
The kits are probably broken self Chin and/or dark Sable. I have this in my own mini rex from the use of a "hidden" broken self chin REW buck. He has...
Danielle, I've been following this thread with interest but with no comment since I raise Lilacs, Chocolates and have had Otters in the past (Rex) and not once...
PJ, I make the same correlation between the Satin/MiniSatin Siamese and Sable Point in other breeds. The sable and chin gene are the same chd or chl. The aa...
<<<<The sable and chin gene are the same chd or chl. The aa gene combo makes chin into sable.>>>> No, they aren't the same. The aa genes combined with c(chd)...
Marty, In all due respect, I guess I just got very unlucky. Without going into any further detail, suffice it to say I think that this is more common then you...
Sorry, I've been off line for a little bit. I think we are confused by "terms" again. A self black (aa) CAN carry steel. But you cannot see it's effect on a...
Oh, I have my suspicions that E(d) exists, especially after a test breeding I did between a Broken Chinchilla Jersey Wooly and a Self Black Holland. Owing to...
Danielle, I have been trying to follow the posts about steel also, as well as everything else, because I am worried that I may have "strange things" lurking...
Patricia, I find the steel gene to be challenging. And I am not an expert at the gene - there are others on this group who are very knowledgible about it....
So is there or is there not such an animal as: A true Broken Colored Himalayan Rabbit? Just curious. Dennis, C.V.R. -- People don't care how much you know, ...
correct - you can have a broken himi, but it's not showable because a himi requires the color on the feet and undertail and a broken would have white undertail...
maybe that black HL buck was E(s)e - that would produce steels if bred to chin. The non-extention gene is so common in the HL's, that would make the most...
I don't think you have to worry about the steel gene in the JW's - I'm sure it exists, but I would not fret over it. Karin ... From: Patricia Hernandez To:...
Thank you for so much info. Yes I am sure that my buck carries c(chl) as I get lots of shaded young when he is bred to REWs. I like sable martens and smoke...
