This is my little 3 month old, Jr. pointed white Mini lop doe.
She was a total surprise to me, because I was NOT expecting a Pointed white out of her litter. Mom is a Chinchilla, dad is a broken Chocolate chestnut agouti. I have had several litters from them before, and never had anything but the usual agoutis, chins, chestnuts, etc...so you can imagine my surprise when she turned up in the nest box. I went back over both of her parents pedigree's and realized there was just one pointed Mini lop on her Mom's pedigree. So four generations back, there is a single pointed white. That's it. Funny it should decide to turn up at random 4 generations later.
Anyway, what do you guys think of her color? She is right at about 3 months as I mentioned earlier, so I'd imagine it will get darker still she gets older. But I've never raised a pointed white before. At what age do they usually get their best color? It's been cold, so that shouldn't be an excuse.
Do you think she'll be showable? Her color seems really faint to me. Maybe I just need to give it time. According to the SOP the only dq for pointed white Mini lops is a tan pattern over the markings. I know she does not have that, but I think she might be an agouti pointed white? Is that still showable?
I've attached close up pics of her tail and feet. Her tail has pretty good color on top but it's white underneath. Her feet and ears are still really faint but I starting to come in. I think she'll be a chocolate or lilac, hard to tell for sure yet.
Second question, what colors do you think she'll throw? With the pointed whites we've used in our Jersey Wooly program we've always gotten lots of siamese sables. Wonder if it will be the same with her? Anything I shouldn't breed her to?
Finally what do y'all think of her conformation and type?
She is kinda small....she was sort of a runty one in the little.
But her two full sibling I have are awesome! So I'm keeping her around for now to see what she turns into.
She is a little sweet heart
Looking foreward to hearing from y'all!
