first netherland posing attempt and decision needed

[akane]

I probably did not do this anywhere near correctly but here are the 3 netherlands I bought as pet quality
Himi buck out of sable points so his markings are a little odd

Sable buck that I really like. He's sleek, shiny, and absolutely tiny. Showed well until a couple toenails turned white.

posed more commercial type, I think if nothing else he could actually improve my mini rex

Unpedigreed himi doe. I couldn't get her to pose for anything. I think she just completely lacks the body type for it.

So even though I'm mostly selling to pet people I'm thinking of ditching the doe for a replacement. I'm talking to someone who has several blue and black does available. Although their prices may be outside my range since they had an otter listed at $75. If I get one from this person I was thinking of breeding it to the himi buck, keeping a doe which will be carrying himi and breeding her to the sable buck for some sables, some himis, and some self. I can't decide if I want to do blue and make some smoke pearl while risking making useless blue himis or stick with black and darken the markings.

I don't know much about Dwarves, but as an ex-Mini Rex breeder please, please, PLEASE don't breed your sable buck into your Mini Rex, even just for pet sales rabbits. It will send you generations and generations BACKWARDS.

That being said, your top bunny is very cute.

I already have creme d'argent x mini rex and giant chin x new zealand x mini rex : Netherland x rex would probably sell well.

I like the little sable buck, he's cute!

Actually the Netherland X Mini Rex thing was a big deal about 7 or 8 years ago. The crosses were UUUUUUUGGLY!!!!! and they didn't catch on... They are too different in body type and neither has anything that would complement the other.
