Pretty color

[ollitos]

But I have no idea what to call it! They are NZ/Champagne mixes. The sire is a NZ/Champagne mix. The dam is NZW.

Looks fawn/orange. Cute!

 

[MamaSheepdog]

Agouti, red (?), and is that a blue-eyed white? Where in the world did he get blue eyes?

 

[ollitos]

I'll have to go back out and check. I never noticed. But since REWs can't really get "red eye" with photos, it's probably blue eye.

The agouti was the color I didn't know.<br /><br />__________ Sun Aug 12, 2012 10:51 am __________<br /><br />Yes, there are two blue eyed whites in that litter. Both the sire and dam have brown eyes but I don't have pedigrees for them. These are meat mutts so it's not a big deal to me one way or the other.

This is a Question! Blue eyes are attached to the Vienna gene, only?

 

[Devon's Mom Lauren]

The agouti's are chestnut. The pretty fawn one is non extension agouti, and both parents have to carry one vienna gene each to make a BEW. Non-extension most likely came out of the NZ side. BUT the vienna gene is weird... wonder if they are descended from Beverens?

 

[dragonladyleanne]

Wow, all I knew about genetics was from a kid's book I had 40 years ago that explained recessive genes via cat-fur colors. I recall spending a week trying to figure out how likely it was to get a black kitten from white parents, LOL (answer, not very)! Oh and my dad getting a little cranky because he expected all my kids to look like "us" (all dark-haired and all but one brown eyed) because the dark features are "dominant"; I had 3 kids, all with blue/green/grey eyes and blonde hair! It's cool to me how nature does what it does, and we keep trying to figure out how. And now I am getting an itch to see if any of my mutt bunnies will produce BEW's, as my first babies produced one of the REW's from dark eyed parents. I don't really like the red eyes, though the bunny is very cute otherwise, guess I watched too many horror and SF films in my youth

The two agoutis are called Chestnut, the other could be referred to as a variety of different names, depending on the breed. In Palominos, its Golden, in Flemish Giants, its Fawn...but I'd call it Golden.

 

[ZRabbits]

Definitely a pretty color. It's amazing as I learn, that the same color is called something different in other breeds. I like the term Golden.

The others look really good too! Congratulations on your meat mutts.

There are also two greys in that litter that look like the mother, who I think is Am Chin.

You could probably get top dollar for your blew eyed white. People seem to have a problem with red eyes for some reason :lol:

Pretty litter, love that golden color!

That's what I was thinking! You might consider advertising those.

I really had to talk myself into Californians and NZW -- I wanted more meat but I don't want to look at those red eyes!

[jessie15273]

I had 2 little mini rex does that color, a judge called them fawn, not a recognized color in that breed. They look like pale reds.

 

[ollitos]

Here are the two greys and the other fawn/golden

 

[3mina]

Those are chins all right

 

[Cattle Cait]

Chins! Sigh, love chins.

 

[ollitos]

I love them too. We kept one of the Chin mix does from the first litter and just bred her yesterday. I want to keep one from each litter because the dam is such a good mom.

 

[ReiLossefalme]

People seem to have a problem with red eyes for some reason :lol:

I have this amusing potential buyer who *loves* red eyes, but wants some body color too. In fact, she keeps looking at my broken kits (whose eyes are just opening), hoping they'll have red eyes. I told her I'm pretty sure they don't come in that color :lol:

 

[LindseysWoolies]

Lol she needs a himi colored rabbit.

 

[skysthelimit]

Love chins too. My chin doe has yet to produce a useful kit in the two litters she's had

I have an aversion to REW's, I usually cull them. I have only kept one because she's an otter underneath.
