Hello again, been a while since I've popped by. I'm getting back into my research and needed some help. I've searched the forum and found a few discussions about this, but nothing comprehensive. Does anyone have a list of all the genes mutated at each locus? From my research this is as far as...

So I have a doe who I bred for the first time recently. She's a chestnut. Her father was a purebred American Chinchilla. So she should be Ccchd. I bred her to my ermine buck, his father was a NZW, so I know he carries c. But with my doe's parentage, I didn't expect any red eyes. A_B_cchdcD_ee...

Most of the conversation about rabbit genetics by hobbyist breeders is about color and pattern, but there's a whole third category worth diving into which is coat structure. While the woolly angora and soft, short furred rex are fairly common and popular, there's actually a collection of coat...

Ok, hear me out. In 1892, Wilhelm Mucke started trying to breed a white rabbit without red eyes. Reportedly, he started with breeding Dutch rabbits, and once he crossed them with the white varieties of Flemish Giant and Holland Lop he managed to get a pure white rabbit with blue eyes. He...

Something I've found very elusive in my study of rabbit genetics has been details about the modifier genes. I've seen them mentioned over and over on many sites, mostly in the form of "there are also modifier genes like rufus, plus/minus (blanket/spot) modifiers, and color intensifiers." And...

Hey all, I'm new. I've recently got super interested in rabbit genetics. There's a wealth of information about the colour and pattern genes: A, B, C, D, E, En, Du, Si, V, W, P And there's also information about coat structure genes: f (furless), l (long/angora), r (rex), sa (satin), wa...

So, my understanding of dominant black is that it overrides everything and extends black through the entire length of the hair, no matter the rest of the genotype. However, my understanding of bb is that it weakens eumelanin so that black becomes brown, and my understanding of dd is that it...
