Seal point

[Missy Ellie]

Hi everyone I’m new to all this and am interested in breeding a seal point mini lop - what colour rabbits would I need to achieve this?

I don't know much about colors but ask @HAPPYHOLLANDS they are super good with colors!

It's easiest to just start out with a seal point; and breeding seal points to other seal points, or to sooty fawns or other similar colors that carry seal point (eg have a seal point parent). Otherwise you have to work with a few different recessive genes. Seal points have the same shaded genes as a siamese sable, plus the non-extension gene that makes a sooty fawn. Those are both recessive so it can take a few generations of breeding to get an actual seal point to show up. I used to breed them (well, not seal point mini lops - I bred sable point holland lops, which is the US equivalent), and we would end up with only a couple seal points out of every litter, plus a lot of other colors.
