That's a wonderful looking rabbit and I'm no expert but to me it looks like it is chocolate agouti of some kind and how you could get that from two lilacs is a...
It looks like a lynx which wouldnt' be possible out of two self lilac parents. If wone wwas ahidden steel, then it could be, as steel can hide agouti. Deidre ...
that was my thoughts *exactly*..... Karin ... From: "Deidre Edder" <Edderland@...> To: <Rabbit_Genetics@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Wednesday, October 01,...
I have a black buck that carries the Harlequin gene, I was told that if I breed him to Sable Point any black offspring would not be carriers of the Harli gene....
This is not correct. There is a 50/50 chance of the offspring carrying the gene. If you do a punnett square and put on top the buck's two genes, E and ej, then...
yes, you could use anything with two 'ee' genes to produce non-harley carriers from him. you could use tort or sable points for selfs - or frosty's, oranges,...
what are the other 50% if not Harli? They are phenetically solid black but do they carry the ej gene? Example: Black buck ej X Sable point(any) doe = 6 kits 4...
black buck that is Ee(j) to sable point will produce 50% blacks (or other selfs) and 50% torted harlies. Karin ... From: "Julie" <julieumph@...> To:...
No, the black kits are black because their father is the only one with a black gene and a harli gene, so the kits are either harli or they are black. Both the...
The harli's are not torted. But I believe they are Agouti base due to no torts in his line but lots of chestnuts. Julie U ... with a black gene and a harli...
the harlis have to be self (or "torted") harlis if neither of their parents were agouti. Agouti is a completely dominant gene, only rabbits that express being...
So breeding to orange would produce selfs? Along with Harli's of course. COOL! I happen to have and orange buck and doe from another line of oranges REW's and...
if they are aae(j)e, then they will be torted. You might get clean looking ones though that don't show the torting. If the buck is black carrying harlie and...
Well, if your oranges are homozygous for agouti, being that they're AA instead of Aa, then you will get only oranges, harlis, and chestnuts. Also a good chance...
I think you misunderstood....... black to orange will do the same effect as breeding black to sable point - allow the harlie gene to express itself so it's not...
no, there won't be oranges if orange is bred to a black buck that is hiding harlie :) I know you knew that though, hehe. Karin ... From: Sophia Stoeckl To:...
Ah Ha I knew that; what was I thinking I just ment they don't look torted. I have a torted try and so know what that looks like and the Harli offspring don't...
I believe the orange doe to be AaBBCcDDEe she is out of tort and REW. The orange buck is out of rew and orange but there are alot of torts in both the oranges...
that genotype would be for a chestnut Orange out of REW to tort would be AaB-CcD-ee So, you could get chestnuts, blacks, and harlies (both self and agouti ...
Ok so when bred to Sable point or REW that don't carry ej I should be fine with the solid colored offspring. Such as the blacks he produced with the sable...
Looking back into the lineage, on the maternal side (three generations back) I've found a chocolate agouti. The majority of the generations have been torts or...
No, if the REW carries E, then the harlie gene can still be hidden! If the REW is out of torts or sable point parents though - or you know for sure it's ee,...
Thank you; EE,Ee and ee are the ones I am still haveing trouble with unless I have a cheat sheet in front of me. LOL ... agouti ... REW. ... torts ... lines....
Agreed, a photo is a poor exception for a physical exam. I no longer have the rabbit, in her new home she's a wooler. When I groomed her, as a youngster, I...
Julie,     Unless you are trying to breed for sable points I would personally not breed him to a sable point and introduce the sable gene. I would...
I think the original question was whether any solid offspring from Black buck carrying harlequin (Eej) out of a doe either Sablepoint or Tort (ee) could be...
What I can't understand is that none of his harli offspring have ever shown any kind of torting what so ever. Could it be the lack of any torts in his...
