I was wondering what Gene's make up a red, amber and a castor color rabbit? Also what is more dominant if I breed a castor x red or castor to amber what would the kits look like?
 
A_ B_ C_ D_ ee = red (orange or fawn in some breeds)

A_ bb C_ D_ E_ = Amber (chocolate agouti, chocolate chestnut in some breeds)

A_ B_ C_ D_ E_ = castor (chestnut or Sandy in some breeds)

Castor is the most dominant

Castor X Amber = castor, other colours would depend on complimentary recessives ie if the castor carries chocolate, you should get ambers

Castor X red = castor, other colours would depend on complimentary recessives ie if the castor carries non-extension, you should get red
 
Is there a website that has the genotypes written out with photos. I'm trying to identify the correct color.

What color is this doe? <br /><br /> __________ Thu Feb 14, 2019 11:02 am __________ <br /><br /> I have also read a lot about the wide band ww gene do all red/orange rabbits have this also and what is the difference in a rabbit with ww or no ww is it just the belly color on red/orange? Can someone explain rufus factor and is there a geno/phenom type for them? Thanks
