I breed mainly Mini Rex, and have a Black Otter buck. I also have two mixed breed (Mini Rex x) that I breed for the pet bunnies I am asked for. I am looking to add to my brood, and know I want a Harlequin. I found a breeder expecting Harlequin's this summer, but she has others that she thinks I might be interested, some ready now, and a few others ready in 2 weeks.
These are what she has:
1 Tort Buck
1 Broken Black Otter Buck
1 Broken Tort Buck
My first question is, is a 'Broken Black' and a 'Broken Black Otter' the same thing, and I just never realized it? I tried googling broken black otter and all I can up with was what I would call a Broken Black. If that's what it is, I think I'd rather get another color, since I already have two Broken Black mixed breeds who predominantly produce Broken Blacks, from what I've seen with past litters. Would it be safe to go with a Broken Tort? Would the color genetics throw some ugly colored babies if the Broken Tort and Broken Black were to be bred? I don't know much about color genetics, or what genes are dominant. I just started breeding, and would like to get better and breeding for best color, ect. I am curious as to what would be suggested for my brood.
