YES!!
He's a Rhinelander! Colors range from âshow markedâ to âcharliesâ (mostly white) and âsportsâ (no white, brindled brown/orange). The âcharliesâ are usually inferior, being less robust, so are sometimes discarded from the breeding program. The âsportsâ tend to offer good size and body type and can be carefully used with animals needing more color.
As you can see.. He's a sport. So he cant be shown, but he can still be used in my breeding program to get me some more color. I also know people who use them in their Harlequin lines, which I dont know if I'm brave enough to do or not!
I also bought a Doe at the same time. She's "Show Marked" but she does have a major DQ. So again, unshowable. But breeding her to a Sport I will get some charlies, some sports, and some show marked. So I am still very excited.

I bought them at the show I went to yesterday. It was great fun! Got Best of Breed with my Harlequins And Best of Variety with my Flemish. =DD

Thank you!
To be honest I'm kinda a newbie at the Rhinelanders myself. Just when I was at the show I started talking to a breeder/judge who had a few for sale and she was very glad to see me interested in them since I still show in youth and she's the only one that has them even close to my area. She gave me a really good deal and really went into depth about the breed enough to where I got really interested in them. She was also the one who told me that they can be used in my Harlequin line if I am very careful. Now who could pass up an offer like that? Start a new very interesting breed AND!Improve my Harlequins. :biggrin2:
