| Rabbit, Shared posts

shared post – Before we get into the heart of the matter, I need to remind you that the broken pattern is just that: a pattern, not a base color. Broken can overlay on “top” of any other color; a black rabbit with the broken pattern will be a broken black; likewise, an otter-colored rabbit with […]

It is best to understand simple recessive genes before adding the pressures of other color modifiers such as Dilution. Such topics will be entertained at a future time. CLIFF’S NOTES FOR RECESSIVE CHOCOLATE: If you don’t […]

Cheat Sheet: Understanding the Vienna Gene in Rabbits (Blue Eyed Whites)

| Rabbit

shared post Before we get to the cheat sheets, you need to remember that a Blue Eyed White will “hide” the base color of the rabbit in it’s homozygous form. Thus a “black” rabbit who has two copies of the Vienna gene (V/V) will appear white with blue eyes. Also, I cannot stress it […]
