Yellow/Red Coloration The intensity of pheomelanic color seems to be independent of agouti, there are distinct parts prone to more reddish color: top of head dorsal stripe, nape of neck top of tights, crescent-shaped heels lap spots Like in rusty back on chinchilla For yellow/red...

Agouti markings What exactly is this? Breed descriptions describe a lot of things like middle band, light eye rings, nose, ear, jaw, belly, lap spots, .... Regarding the action of ASIP this has not much to do with yellow/red coloration. Agouti causes the parts without eumelanin. Actually there...

Try with wet fingers rather then glue? what exactly does that mean? We have several grey variants (grey = black agouti) - hare grey = light agouti, grey - "normal" agouti, hare colored = with much red, probably ww (like in Deilenaar, hare rabbits), dark grey = darker then normal, lighter then...

yes

There are only two colors. Ok, two and a half. They are formed in little granules called melanosomes. Dark pigment called eumelanin (black) Light pigment called pheomelanin (yellow-red) If no pheomelanin can be made due to albino mutations, melanosomes stay (mostly) empty, colorless, blank if...

Discoloring may appear by light, salvia, urin. This rusty discoloration/alteration of melanin pigments may be heritable.

Please, can you pluck some of this hairs and put them on a white paper and take an image of it to post? Thanks. Its unusual for hairs to have a white tip and color down the shaft. I am very interested in some good images of the chin himi for Rabbitcolors.info as this is a rare color. At the...

I have never seen this, heard it once and i know this can be caused by x-radiation. Please, if there are rabbits with more then one agouti band per hair, take an image for me. For it not getting burried in wrong named threads i started a new on explaining the Function of Agouti and Extension...

You may add some temperature sensitivity to the color confusion regarding the nonextension receptor, which would explain the dark points similar to this in himalaya in nonagouti yellow (no, there is no connection with ch beside the skin temperature). Satinangora Rex

There is much confusion about actual banding, tipping and so on. If there is something questionable about a rabbit it is a good idea to pluck a bunch of hair, separate them in guardhair and downhair and put them on a white (or dark) sheet. Ideally then take a sharp photo. This is much better...

To create the alternating colored bands on Agouti hairs, the pigment cells need to switch between the production of black and yellow pigments during the hair growth. This change is called pigment type switching. It is also responsible for the creation of areas with just light or just dark...

En spotted ones are more dotted, dutch ones are more striped (but with no better pattern then solid ones). German breeders say, the best ones often have problems with white nails, which may be due to melanocyte migration hindering factors causing the white nails as well as the nonbrindled, clear...

referring to smut, in difference to f.e. this one

All dark parts of japanese are the same. Its like ES. Together with agouti (in EeJ) its like steel, as eJe or eJeJ its like ESe = nearly black. And for the light parts its like ee only if there is an e allele, on eJeJ ones there should be no smut in light parts (my japanese rabbits with no e...

No, i think not so. Japanese is dominant black coupled with missing MC1R (light parts) , therefore its perfectly normal for it to darken agout imarkings - but not white himi parts, for it not casing warmth and also not repairing the temperature sensitive tyrosinase of himalayan. Regarding...

you like odd colors? Litter from him (2 black, 5 white) with this white ear doe 10 pink kits (4 survived - white) both does are related, owner said they do not carry white. He breeds for multicolored rabbits for selling. I do not know how sure the "no white" is, but he had not kept this...

torts also have them. In broken ones the dark ej parts should show in a more dotted form then in solids.

Sounds very normal. if you cross 10 and 20 to get 15, 15 is a lot compared with 10, but much fewer compared with 20 ;-)

Not really, i am trying to find something which may cause red independently of agouti. Normally ESe rabbits are black or nearly black. But there are a lot of things one can only speculate about. F.e. yellow mice may have dark hair tips (normally they are entirely yellow, i cannot remember if...

more in the ES not able to show on aa :) no, no, this are 3 colors as different unicolored rabbits, not a multicolored one. I think it has to do with 3 colors in the US flag which are the 3 colors this breed can appear in (but not as agouti). at least there is an e, but i dont know if aaESe...
