About Rabbits

Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) — 2021-07-31T17:03:58+00:00

About Rabbits Our Breeding Program We have been raising rabbits since 1991, and purebred Standard Rex since 1993. We sometimes have rabbits for sale. We are happy to sell rabbits for pet or show/breeding, but we DO NOT sell through third parties. That means we will not sell to pet shops and anyone interested in our rabbits must be willing to come out to the farm. Some of our available rabbits are pictured

Agouti Group (A-)

Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) — 2018-06-13T15:41:59+00:00

Agouti Group (A-) The agouti group of colors carries the original (wild) color pattern, where the body color comes from hairs that are banded. The tip color is determined by the B and D genes and is black in castors, chocolate in ambers, blue in opals, and lilac in lynxs. Next to it along the same hair shaft should be a red or orange color in the castors and ambers (the redder the better), and a lighter fawn color in the opals and lynxes, all allowing for a bluer hue in the blacks and a browner…

Random (Japanese) Extension (ej-)

Random (Japanese) Extension (ej-) This allele gives us harlequin, or brindled colors. It also gives us tri-colored, when combined with the broken allele. The extension genes here can be ejej or eje This gene is not completely recessive to E which means that a rabbit that is

Broken Series (En-)

Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) — 2020-03-27T20:48:03+00:00

Broken Series (En-) The broken group is controlled by a separate set of genes from all the other colors and can be combined with ANY of them, so it is possible to talk about brokens and broken patterns without talking about any of the other colors they are carrying.

Non-Extension (ee)

Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) — 2017-06-07T17:26:30+00:00

Non-Extension (ee) Agouti Non-Extension (A- ee) - Red & Fawn Only the Red is recognized in North America. It makes use of the recessive ee non-extension gene. It is the only rex color to make use of the recessive Wide Band gene (W) which fills the entire hair shaft with the mid band color. Genetically speaking, the difference between a Red and a Tort is that the Red has the

The Selfs (aa)

Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) — 2017-06-07T17:25:12+00:00

The Selfs (aa) Ideally, the self group will display and even color throughout the entire animal. Other alleles can affect the way this is expressed - most commonly with either the top coat extending well down the hair shaft, as in Steel, or the midband extending outward to the tips (as in non-extension). As a result of this, the longer hairs of the animal often end up appearing to be a different color from the shorter hairs.

The Basic Shades

Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) — 2019-04-05T16:17:41+00:00

The Basic Shades Understanding rabbit coat color genetics is easier if you look at it in chunks. We'll start with what I call the “basic shades”. These basic shades are controlled by two sets of genes: the Chocolate Gene, and the Dilution Gene.

Steel (Es)

Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) — 2020-03-27T20:55:23+00:00

Steel (Es) The steel allele is one of the few rabbit color alleles that is dominant, but is NOT the wild version. Rather than go through ALL the colors again with this gene, we will describe it's behaviour in general terms and then display images as they become available.

Inbreeding and Linebreeding

Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) — 2018-09-27T17:39:29+00:00

Inbreeding and Linebreeding This page is still unfinished, but I often get questions about corss-breeeding, inbreeding, and linebreeding. There is a lot of confusion, so I will add more information here as I find the time. For starters, this is a brief video I made that shows how genes can be passed on through 3 generations. You can see by the colours how much or how little of the grandparents can be passed on to the children. It is true that there are WAY more than 8 genes that get passed on…

Note: I have rearranged some of the list from the original and added a few things of my own. I encourage you to visit the original page. Some of the explanations are a bit different and you may find one easier to understand than the other.

Rabbits in the Classroom

Rabbits in the Classroom We 'rent' rabbits to schools - usually by the month (see **below** for costs). We normally have babies available from early April through October. We feel that having animals in the classroom can be a very valuable experience but we also realize that not all teachers are prepared for the commitment of pet ownership. By
