In cold weather you may see some color on the tail, nose or ears. Ermines sometimes have very light gray eyes and people mistake them for blue eyed whites. They are no where close to the crystal blue of the BEW.

They are Beautiful to look at but are not a showable color. I also heard that they spin up muddy. That may be the reason they are not very popular. Nancy www.freewebs.com/grinlowfarm

He can throw pointed whites. I would breed him to a solid doe. If you are in love with the opal just realize some of the offspring could be pointed agouti. There could be alot of other colors. When I pair my agouti buck and pointed doe in Evans Software I get 12% unrecognized color which is...

when you talk about lilac point do you mean a Lilac pearl or a lilac pointed white?. I have pointed whites and I do not breed agouti patterns to the pointeds. The agouti will show up in the points which is a DQ on the show table.

I show english angoras and you want to have your bunnies in their best possible coat for the show. Some of my bunnies will hold their coat for 12 months or longer. Last week I evenly clipped several bunnies for spring showing in March. That means they have 6 months to get read for spring...

I never wait for it to correct itself. If you wait too long the ears may never stay erect. I raise english angoras and when they are young the furnishings are so heavy on the ears and in combination with hot weather it occassionally makes the ears drop. A judge told me to tack them up for a few...
