Dutch color ??

[desertcat]

I'll confess that I've read enough genetics posts to be more than moderately confused. The current plan is that we are focusing on blue, black & chocolate...and now some evil person is offering a tort buck I have no clue what kind of genes I'm (maybe) adding or if this has the potential to really make a mess. Help me, o gurus of genetics!

Tort is basically a black rabbit with two ee genes instead of E_. It's recessive. I think in Dutches only black torts are accepted? Not my breed.

Does this help? I can probably answer more questions if it doesn't...

To be nice about it, he wasn't going to be a good fit in our program Cool color though!

And, yes, Cspr, that did help. Thanks!

I have dutch- and mine are the same colors- blue, black and chocolate. I agree with Cspr that the tort is recessive. If I understand correctly, you can get any and all the colors from the three mains.
