I'm trying to think of how to word my questions here....it feels like I have a ton of them.
One of the major problems many lionhead breeders are having - is getting brokens that are wooly - too wooly (teddy style). They never seem to molt out of the teddy coat and look like fluffballs.
Let me show an example of a non-teddy broken lionhead:
That is Triad.
Now here is an example of a teddy broken lionhead:
Those 2 photos are of Buffalo Creek Sundae.
What I want to do is to create a "Charlie" from a breeding of two brokens together....so that I can get all brokens from them. I'm hoping for a buck that will be a Charlie so I can take him to more does and get more litters of brokens.
But I want to avoid the teddy fur going along into the creation of this Charlie.
Any suggestions? I know I'm going to use Triad. Here are some of the girls I'm looking at:
This is Girly-Girl
This is Arya:
These two girls are kinda sort teddy - but not really POOF teddy.
My options are:
a. Breed Triad to these girls to try get a charlie even if it is slightly poofy.
b. Breed Triad to a slick girl (already done) to try and get brokens that won't be teddy/poofy and then take a doe from that back to him to try for a charlie.
I have already bred Triad to a slick girl (today) and a broken girl too. I'm just wondering if there are any other suggestions or things you'd recommend?
HELP?

P.S. I have been told by a fellow breeder that if I could get some SLICK brokens - particularly bucks - they would probably be snatched up by other breeders in order to start some lines going of slick brokens. This has been a major issue for many many breeders. So in doing this, I do have a few breeders in mind who have already expressed interest in slick brokens and they are people I would be willing to trust with my rabbits.
