what do you call this color?

[boundarybunnyco]

what color is this kit? it's mother is a broken red meat mutt and the father is supposed to be a chinchilla.

I know the pictures aren't great, the kit is kind of an orangey tan with grey on the bottom.

 

[akane]

Too dark but tort probably. That's a red without an agouti gene. Does it look kind of like this

If so an odd thing to get from a chinchilla.

 

[ladysown]

looks like a shagouti of some sort....tort/agouti mix.

 

[curlysue]

Looks tort too me.

 

[akane]

I thought a shagouti would mean a rabbit that was agouti with C locus genes. An agouti ee is simply a red, fawn, et... A self with ee is a tort. There is no agouti/tort mix. One is agouti and one is self. Chin could be in there with self (not agouti or you'd have either chin or ermine) mucking things up a little with the tort but I think it just sounds like a tort.

A shagouti is an agouti rabbit with any shaded gene showing. This rabbit is a regular tort.

akane, those are the same colors. I wonder if the lady was wrong about the buck, and it was her lop buck that bred the doe.

 

[JueLee]

The chin buck would be Aa cchd_ Ee.

The red doe would be Aa C_ ee.

The kit would be aa C_ ee. One a and one e from each parent, plus the C from the mother.

 

[akane]

The chin could carry self a and nonextension e to make a tort. It's just a bit odd to breed a chin with such genetics is all. The pedigree would be a bit interesting on that one.

Just so you know as they get older the grey cleans up and you get a brown rabbit with black points to a varying degree of quality. Look up cinnamons and those are a breed of clean torts.

I realize I don't have a lot of experience with rabbit breeds, but those ears look like "lop ears" to me :lol:

 

[boundarybunnyco]

yep, I did say that maybe she bred the doe to her lop. who knows.
