[QUOTE="SableSteel, post: 319339, member: 3553"] Wait, actually I forgot. French lops DO accept BEW, as do english lops, so technically there are other 6 class breeds with BEW :oops: However, while they accept BEW, the color isn't actually seen in those breeds (or if it is, it's extremely rare; I've never seen one). It was just sort of thrown in for the lop color guide (I do believe there are BEW mini lops) Yes, adding colors is a TON of work. The process is listed at the beginning of the standard of perfection. Usually the only times colors are added are if the COD holder is an extremely experienced breeder (you need to have an ARBA membership for 5 years before you can get a COD -and an adult, which means the process for getting a COD has more age/membership requirements than becoming a judge-, but I wouldn't suggest even thinking about a COD until you've been showing for 10 years) and that is their main project (or one of their main projects if they have absolutely massive herds; for example Randy Shumaker, who is working on a lutino dwarf color project at the same time as the rest of his stuff).
