I have the opertunity to perchase a 10 week old blue minilop (nz/uk type) doe for only $10. She is to show parentage but nobody wants to buy her because she has fly away ears. Sometimes they are down, sometimes one is up, sometimes both are sideways. Is this a dominant thing and is it most likely to be passed onto kits if she was to be bred from? If the buck has excellently hung ears would that combat it, or should she just not be bred from at all? The kits would not be for show. I realise it could be irresponsible to further this uppy-eared trait but I just got so excited at the cheapness and to get a blue doe here is really hard. Her parents are both very good type for the breed.
