OK so crossed a New Zealand white buck with a New Zealand black. Got mainly black. Two steel and a Gold tipted steel. Would they be considered a Hybrid. Also if i breed them to my other new Zealand white buck what colors can I expect.
 
It's still a New Zealand, so I don't think you'll be seeing any hybrid vigor from this cross. It's just two different color varieties of the same breed. I know I'm not an expert, but I'm pretty sure they'd still just be New Zealands.

Don't know what colors you'd expect to see in the other cross, sorry!
 
It would depend on how far apart the lines were, genetically. If they are from non-color crossed programs going back generations, you might actually see a little added vigor, but, only in the first generation crossing. After that, they would be too related to both lines, no matter what color they were.
