color genetics breeding question

[camie8]

I am going to be getting a black mini rex doe on thursday andI have a friend who has a mini rex buck.I want to breed the two butI am unsure of her bucks color.I believe he is a tricolor...what do you think?He is white with black and a darker brown colored spots on his back with a little bit of a lighter brown on the top of his head.I was wondering what colors i would get out of the two if I bred them.

This first picture is of her buck...its a crummy picture for his colorand the only one she could get of him... andthe second one is a pic from the web that shows what his brown kinda looks like on his back.

What is the purpose of the breeding? If you are breeding for showable stock, I don't recommend breeding self colors such as black to tri-color (can produce "tort" tri-colors). Ideally, tri (broken harlequin) should be agouti.

If i breedit willnot befor show because the buck is my friends pet and the doe is not a pet. She has been shown before by my moms cousin and has 29 legs. I would like to find a good buck to pair her up with but i cant find anyone near mewith any for sale in my price range. I could probably get one from my moms cousin but she is a bit limmited.

From the breeding, you could get brokens, black, chesnut (if the tri is an agouti - I can't tell from the posted photo and can't access the 2nd photo), harlequin, tri or other varieties depending what recessives each rabbit is carrying.

Thank you pam!

That buck looks like a broken castor to me, from this angle. Tri-color presents itself as distinct spots of black and orange (like a calico cat). Castor breeds fine with black, and usually just produces castors (called chestnut in other breeds), unless the castor carries for self, which will produce blacks. Since the buck is broken, you will most likely get brokens in whatever colors you get, as well as solids.

What color would be the litter of red eyed white doe with golden buck?

Depends....what do you mean by "golden"? And it would also depend on what is in the REW's background.

 

[Yoyishanti]

The buck has this red/golden/orange color. It is like brown but very yellowish. I am not sure how is that color called officially. I would say the color of deer, but a little brighter. The REW's parents are black with black eyes(father) and mother is REW.

 

[hillrise]

Most likely you'd get a bunch of chestnuts. It sounds like the buck is an orange/red. Do you know what the REW's maternal grandparents are? REWs could be any color under the white.

. Her one parent is black and other parent white.

from the pic the buck appears to be a Tri'd castor...I have a few of them in my Tri program. They are needed to make sure the tri I breed are agoutis and not a "self" tri aka a torted tri. You will get black and castor (bkn and solid) and quite poss. if your doe carries tort, torted tri or harlequins.

Do you happen to have a pic of the buck?

. No but I can make one soon. But I am sure now his color is red/fawn!

 

[Yoyishanti]

I got the picture but don't know how to post here. But i did download it to my account here.

Here is the buck and REW doe.

 

[HappyFarmBunnies]

The buck appears to be a red or orange/fawn (can't see a ring color to tell if it's an agouti).

That REW doe looks REALLY young.

 

[Yoyishanti]

He's not agouti. I was wondering what color would be their babies?

Pure white? Pure black? The black could be a seal. Is the white an REW or BEW?

 

[HappyFarmBunnies]

Well nevermind, I guess it has to be REW. But still, with an REW you might have to go even farther back in the pedigree to determine what colors the babies will be. Also depends on what's in the dad's pedigree.
