Oh, someone who speaks to my heart! I too think that the tricolor booted, if the markings are even shaped, is
probably the most beautiful and most difficult to...
I have a question in regards to brokens in Jersey Woolies. I am having a hard time getting the right amount of color in my brokens. So my question is this: ...
IMO, I would take your very best heavier marked broken and breed it to a solid. Take the best marked and typed babies and mate the best solid to the original...
So I will keep the Solids in these 2 litters for my program. I was thinking it would be useless to keep any of these brokens as they have less color then ...
The broken modifiers are hard to either increase or decrease the amount.  You may have to purchase a broken with the amount of color you want.  It is...
Well I have a really nice broken buck, but when I bred him to my solid does, I get the same almost charlie looking babies. When I look at their pedigrees ...
Thank you Natalie, that helped alot! I think I'll give it a shot and just see what happens.?I do hope?to get another Chin to breed back that would be...
I would not keep any of the litter; the solids now carry the same modifiers for incorrect pattern. That is the problem;you startedf with two brokens with...
I'm wondering if you guys are mixing up booteds and heavy blanket pattern....... Booteds have solid bellies (in a self, agouti pattern belly in an agouti,...
Don't breed your copper SA to a chin for several reasons. 1) The rufus modifiers that give your reds and coppers such lovely color will cause the chins to be...
You are so right about the chin gene lurking in reds. I am working on my oranges and red in my Lionheads and I am trying to clean it out of all of my lines...
Hi Lisa, I was worried about?yellowing in my Chins, that would not be good. Would that?be improved by breeding?back to?Chin or would it continue to be a...
I USE WOODEN CAGES AND WAS WONDERING IF ANYONE USES LARGE PLASTIC LIFT OUT LINERS IN THEIR CAGES. LIKE LARGE LITTER TRAYS. ANY IDEAS OR STOCKISTS APPRECIATED. ...
   You beat me to it Deidre. I am specializing in broken Lionheads. Broken is the same no matter what breed it is. If the parents do not have enough color,...
Hi Patsy, Long time no hear, lol. I do have a broken buck in my woolies that is the correct pattern. Trouble is breeding him to the solids I already have I am ...
I agree to some extent with what everyone else has said. If the broken or the solid doesn't carry the modifiers, you won't get decent pattern, and they are a...
Hi All, Ok so now I would like to know if all of this applies to Mini Rex as well. I know that with Mini Rex the color needs to be 10% to 50% with a Butterfly...
Hi All, Ok I have another questions on Brokens. I have a Broken Chocolate Mini Rex Buck. He was our first Rabbit and for that reason we will never part with...
Hi Sharon, Thanks for all the info you sent. Now to answer several questions. First is that the Genetic Charlie is out of two brokens. He has a very light...
Bec,     I use the plastic dura trays that slide out on my upper hutches (wood) and my wire cages. The lower wood hutches just drops to the ground and I...
Yes, it sounds like you are on track! If there are any breeders in your area who are working on tricolors, they might love to breed does to Spot. It sounds...

Well, here is my take on broken Mini Rex. Charlie brokens are not all bad. Here is why. They are genetically different from regular brokens since they are a...
Hey Jeff, Just a slight clarification for any other newbies who may be reading... In the Mini Rex breed, Brokens do not necessarily have to have a Butterfly...
Okay, I have this chart and I was wondering about the percentages. The chart says: VM X Normal = 25% Vienna marked, 75% normal. Does this mean that 25% will...
VM to normal should give a percentage of 50/50 VM or VC to normal. Murphy's law doesn't always listen to laws of average though, LOL. VM to VM would produce...
There are three choices.  Your chart is missing one option. There is Normal: Not not showing or carrying the Vienna gene. There is VM: Vienna Marked...
VC's might also be out of VM'd, not just directly out of BEW - you might not KNOW they are carrying vienna though - they *may* throw VM'd, but mopst often...
