    Black tort, chestnut??

    We have this little fat toad of a holland. Singleton and spoiled. Dam is lilac tri I think, sire is supposed to be frosty but he looks more chin. As a newborn we thought black tort. Then with the start of fur we thought Siamese sable. But now it feels like agouti because of the orangish neck...

    Surprise Shadeds in a BEW/VM litter

    Helping a friend identify colors in her first bew litter. Buck is a bew (no ped) and the doe is orange. So we have one all white (waiting on the eyes to see what color we get)--but the mysterious ones are: 2 lightly shaded (you can just barely see the shaded skirt on them) and then 2 darker...

    UPDATED Smoke pearl? Frosty? Other?

    We have a sable chin holland doe (unshowable but great features) and bred her to our seal holland buck. We are trying to decide if the blue is a straight up blue or a shaded of some kind; if the light one is a frosty/sable point/smoke pearl; if the dark one is a sable chin. Any thoughts...

    Shaded Hollands

    We have a solid sable chin (bought as a sable point before I knew any better) and bred her to our solid frosty buck. Previously she gave us a broken sable point but gave us two kits this time. I'm thinking Frosty and sable point? Thoughts

    Color help please. New pics added

    We have a broken lilac netherland doe we bred to a solid smoke pearl netherland buck. The goal was to at the very least get a chocolate carrier doe out of it but ideally a smoke pearl doe would have us tickled pink. So, the kits are now 7 days old and I am worried my wishful thinking is making...

    Ornamental co-ed colony

    I have a client who would like to set up a colony of netherland/holland/mini rex in a large space. Initially she was thinking all does, but now they are wondering can you have an altered buck or two in the colony. Having never had a colony, I don't know how it works. My question would be if...

    Purebred rex x rex without rex coat

    So in a previous thread I mentioned I have a purebred mini rex and bred her to a friend's purebred mini rex buck. Both have rex coat/curly whiskers. rex-fur-question-t29294.html It appears that this buck combined with my doe or my friend's doe will throw non-rex coated kits. My kits are 3...

    HELP PLEASE: Bare spot on Fuzzy Holland Lop

    We have two kits, both fuzzies. NO idea where that came from because there isn't fuzzy in the pedigree--at least according to the breeder. Anyway, anomaly, whatever, we won't repeat that pairing. So the two does are now 7 weeks old and one of the girls has a serious bald patch at the back of...

    Partially aborted litter

    I'm not sure if this should be under the illness category. I was given a doe that I suspect has pasturella. I've had her quarantined for nearly a month. Today she aborted two fetus' and I decided to just go ahead and full her because of the snotty nose and other symptoms. The necropsy...

    Building a pedigree from scratch

    So I have a purebred mini Rex doe and a fully pedigreed mini Rex buck. My girlfriend also has a purebred mini Rex buck and doe both without pedigree. We want to build a pedigree but wonder, is 2 and 2 enough variety in a pedigree? Should there be more new blood?

    What to call this color?

    Is a broken black charlie with orange lacing on the ears a tri charlie? If you breed a tri to a broken is that like breeding broken to broken? Is a tri technically a broken? __________ Fri Feb 19, 2016 9:50 pm __________

    Rex fur question

    We have a mini Rex doe, purebred, unpedigreed and we bred her to a friends unpedigreed mini Rex buck. Apparently the buck is crossed with something because when bred to another fully pedigreed mini Rex doe, they produced fluffy regular coated kits. So, my litter is 4 days old. At what point...

    4 week old Holland kit, swollen vent

    We have two holland doe kits out of our holland doe Daisy. Daisy had a prolapsed rectum as a kit and we went back and forth on the cull or wait and see course of action. The breeder was unfamiliar with this sort of thing and we were too new to know better than to buy her so lesson learned...
