any ideas of the outcome??


Ooo, a genetics question!!!! Pam???:D

I think another member had a black dutch doe and a castor Rex buckaccidental pairing. She got some wild colors, one looked like aD'Argent.

The pairing would result in some interestingmarkings :) Some will have Dutch markings as the dominantnormal of the Mini Rex is incompletely dominant over the recessiveDutch marking gene. Some may have broken markings and somemay have no markings. Most of the babies will have blackmarkings -- other colors are possible depending on the recessivescarried by the parents.

I believe the litter that Rose mentioned was from Britain and appeared to also have a Silvering gene that D'Argents carry.

The Dutch marking gene and broken genes may also combine to form hybrid markings such as those in the photo below.

Rex fur is recessive, so the babies would be normal furred.
