Cheat Sheets: Understanding the Broken Pattern Gene in Rabbits (shared)
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 […]
Cheat Sheet: Understanding the A Locus (Agouti, Tan/Otter, Self) in Rabbits (shared)
shared post One of the first color genes to understand is the A Locus, which determines whether the hairs are banded or solid, and what base pattern the color expression of a rabbit is. First the cheat sheets, then a discussion of “test breeding” to determine genetics; then all breeding percentages for the A Locus. […]
Cheat Sheet: Understanding the D Locus (Dilution) in Self Rabbits (shared)
shared post Although the D Locus (dilution) does affect rabbits who are Agouti or Tan/Otter, for this introduction let’s stick to Self rabbits. As we know from this previous discussion of the A Locus, a Self rabbit is a solid-colored animal. We will discuss the D Locus and how it affects Agouti and Tan rabbits in future […]

A quick discussion on breeding dwarf-to-dwarf: Do not be hasty to judge a […]
Cheat Sheet: Understanding Recessive Chocolate Inheritance in Rabbits
shared post For the purposes of understanding recessive Chocolate, I am assuming that all non-Chocolate rabbits are black. 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)
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 […]
