Okay, I've never worked with broken colored rabbits before, so I have two quick questions.
First, the Angora SOP states regarding brokens:
So, I'm a bit confused. Would the doe in the two pictures below be disqualified or simply faulted?
Second question, would incorrect markings on a broken be inherited by its offspring? Would this doe's babies tend to have incorrect nose markings? Also, should I go with a lighter-marked doe if I'm breeding her to a solid colored buck?
Thanks for your help!
First, the Angora SOP states regarding brokens:
It is to have both ears colored, eye circles, nose marking (no preference is given to butterfly over evenly balanced nose spots.), and back pattern.
...
Faults - unbalanced or one spotted nose markings
...
DQs - Absence of color on either ear, around either eye, or nose marking
...
Do not disqualify for white spot in colored sections.
