Got some new pictures The litter of two are now 4months old and going to their second show on May3rd. Sold Hobi and Avalon to a friend and will be selling the others after their show to show and hopping homes. I have a new buck out of my boy Gunner and my girl Serena. I am super excited about this baby because both of the parents are amazing! My mom also has some new beautiful polish babies that Ill post as well

Babies in order. Finn(1), Noah(2&3), Catalina(4&5&6), and Celeste(7&8)

AUGH that chocolate polish bubby! I want it! Chocolate is my favourite bunny colour, but they're so hard to come across.

The tans are looking magnificent.

 

[Chrisdoc]

I never tire of pics of your tans, they are fabulous, I just love their poses. The polish are just gorgeous too, the chocolate one is too cute. I am in love again

 

[Aubrisita]

Squeee!!! So cute! Love these pictures.

 

[woahlookitsme]

you guys are right the chocolates are super cute. I cant wait to see how they grow. I know my mom is finally happy to see some chocolates and brokens. She has one of each sex too! We almost never get split litters but this one was perfect. My little one turned out to be a boy I hope he will be his fathers son and follow in Gunners amazing footsteps! Beyonce is still looking for a really good home so if anyone lives in texas let me know If not I will try to have her spend the rest of her days with me as she deserves a nice retired life.

Yippee, that means more cute pics. I do wish I lived in Texas !!! Your buns are exceptional, I just adore this breed.

Forgive the ignorance, what are dilutes?

 

[woahlookitsme]

Oh sorry that means I'm hoping for blues and lilacs blue and lilac are the dilute colors for black and chocolate respectively. Blacks and chocolates are some of the hardest and largest classes to compete and my blues at least turn out way better than my blacks so I'm hoping for some nice looking dilute tans to take the tables with

 

[Azerane]

Ahh, thanks for that. I thought it was a colour term but I wasn't sure how that fitted in with tans. But now I know. Thanks

Are the dilute colours recessive?

 

[woahlookitsme]

They sure are

 

[Azerane]

Thanks for that. So dilute is just a specific term for recessive colour? Or is it only used in regards to the paler shades of the main colours? As in... are dilute colours always recessive (no matter what breed etc? I know that many cat breeds have lilac and lavender colours etc which I'm assuming are the same thing).

Did that make any sense?

I've always wanted a tan. However, I live in Wisconsin. 😍😭

I think the term can mean different things to different breeds. For Tans, lilac and blue are considered dilute colors and are recessive. For Polish, there is no recognized color in lilac, yet.

 

[Azerane]

It's not so much a matter of whether the colours are recognised or not, because the colours may still exist. I'm more wondering about the definition behind the terminology.

 

[woahlookitsme]

Normally dilute meaning recessive yea I just always use it when differentiating my blacks and chocolates from my blues and lilacs. I don't know if it's that way in other breeds but it may and totally not sure about other species

 

[ChocoClover]

Does it mean that the color is lighter?

 

[woahlookitsme]

Oh ok so I had it kind of wrong. The B allele decides whether the rabbit is black (BBDD) or chocolate (bbDD) and the D allele or dilution allele decides if it's blue (BBdd or Bbdd) or lilac (bbdd)
