Hello! The girl in the first two pictures does look like a harlequin lilac <A_bbC_ddej_> or harlequin blue <A_B_C_ddej_> (I'm not familiar enough to distinguish between the two). "Harlequinized" is when the harlequin gene <ej> is recessive to something more dominant like full extension or steel...

Could you add a picture of the doe and the buck to better see what the potential genes are?

Maybe plastic roofing sheets do similarly well while being cheaper? It's probably a bit less resistant to being hit by a shovel but also less noisy in that situation

Thanks for your detailed answer MsTemeraire :) I'm in many Argentina-based Facebook groups, but the equivalent to a national association was created in the 50's and its trace disappears somewhere in recent years. I will probably abandon breeding pure fauves and move more towards standard rex...

So this is a full-extension full-color dense brown-based self with no funny special genes... Pretty sure that's called chocolate self?

Hello! As a bilingual person who does most of my research in English, I see most information about rabbit breeding goes back to ARBA, its standards and its shows, even outside the USA. Much to my surprise when I tried to research the equivalent of ARBA and its shows in Argentina I hit...

Oh boy, this will be harder than I thought! Everyone else I have is <B_>, though the boy I'm supposed to be getting in some months may be <Bb> and may help figure out things. I guess then what I can be more or less sure of is that both of them are <A___C_D_ee> but Ton was high rufus and very...

I would do Tans because I love the colour, or belgian hares because of the beautiful shape :love:

6 incisors (four at the top and 2 at the bottom - one of the main differences between rodents and lagomorphs!) 10 bottom molars and 12 top molars for a total of 28 teeth

Thanks for the details Alaska! I couldn't for the life of me get a good picture blowing into her hair, so I had to do the next best thing. Some notes: -When I said amber I meant <A_bbC_D_ee>, I didn't know amber meant <E_>! My bad. -Definitely no ruby cast to her eyes. They are a nice uniform...

100% addictive. My friends say I'm lost to the genotypes :LOL: I caught a few things that may be wrong... maybe? None of the parents could be <Ee(j)>, since there is an <ee> baby. One should be e(j)e and the other can be either <e(j)e> or <ee> <_ _ _ccD_ee_v> ;) Regarding the <D> in there...

Hello! It's me again asking about genotypes! I had two fauve de bourgogne whose coats look very different from each other, and I am not 100% sure what is the difference, genotype wise. First there is my late buck Ton (first picture), who I'm pretty confident is A_B_C_D_ee Then there is my doe...

Taking a shot at the genotypes here with the info Alaska Satin gave, you have: Doe: ____cc_d_eV_ Buck: ____Cc_d_evv (C is from the orange baby) One of the two parents necessarily has A (because of the orange baby) and ej (because of the harlequin) but each may come from either of them. Test...

Dangit! That's... baffling. From a total of 13 kits we got 8 living black steels and 5 dead kits of which at least 2 were light grey with pink bellies. Far from 50/50 but that's how chance works. Sadly that was the pasteurella buck. Hopefully the doe I reserved has whatever recessive thing he...

This info is all so amazing. I can't thank you enough. After re-doing all of my tables, I think this is what I have: Rudy: Harlequin (low Rufus) - <A_B_Cchd_D_eje> (the "chd" is from the magpie kit, though it'd be 50/50 of it coming from the doe) Saturno: Black Himalayan - <aaB_c(h)_D_EsE>...

I'm learning so much, thank you <3 Regarding Rudy (the buck) - I've been trying to figure things out and after looking at a bunch of pictures I think he might be seal magpie, with two chl genes, based on his black belly and the rusty tinge, and either otter or self since he has a very dark...

Well. This whole genes thing likes to throw wrenches my way. It's a lot of fun, though. Regarding the Cali, she HAS bands, the fun part is that they are showing especially in the ears, which does not make much sense for me. I took some ear hairs from her the other day and could count 4 distinct...

I've read the same in a couple of places, but what I can tell you that doesn't work if they are agouti as well. We thought she was a self with somewhat blurry points during the winter and only discovered the steel genes as it started to show up in some of her black babies. Fast forward to the...

Thanks a lot for your super detailed response, Alaska! You put in writing a lot of what we were thinking about but couldn't decide. I got details that the magpie is a meat mutt, actually 12 months old and very much proven. It seems the owner had to sell her entire herd due to her baby's...
