It will be interesting to compare the pictures of the babies to the pictures of the mother and father (Gypsy and Ace).

awww congrats!!!!!!!

 

[lizabeth332]

congrats!

what color was the sire? these are mini rex? baby B is not acastor for two reasons: 1. castors have white bellies, and 2.castors/chestnuts (same color) are born black and by 4-6 days they lookchestnut, the heads turning color first. he looks more like asable to me.


ok, looking back she was bred to a chocolate dutch? thensable is "possible" tho unlikey, since sable is not recognized ineither breed, well actually seal is recognized in MR, so if your doewas out of a seal then she could throw a sable IF the buck carried rewor himie, which for a pure dutch would be really weird! (if he carriedsable then it would turn out to be a seal) (btw it cant be acastor since castor is agouti and both parents are self) HEY WAIT AMINUTE!!!! in a litter of 3 you didn't get ANY dutchmarked???????

Pam, correct me if i'm wrong, but for a purebred dutch markedcorrectly the gene is dudu , right, so if it was bred to a DuDu itwould throw all Dudu's Right???and aren't Dudu's partialdutch pattern? or a screwed up one? SO IF IN A LITTER OF 3,NONE had a dutch pattern at all, is it Possible that the dutch buck WASACTUALLY THE FATHER OF THE LITTER?? and if he wasn't, that'dexplain the chl problem too...

don't get excited everyone, i could be all wrong, but funbunbun, are you SURE that the sire was actually your dutch???:shock:

 

[RusselandRoxy]

CONGRATULATIONS!!! THEY ARE SOO CUTE! I HAD ASIMILAR THING HAPPEN WITH MY LITTER - 3 SURVIVED BUT THE ONETHATDIDNT MAKE IT WAS HUGE AND ODD LOOKING - JUST LIKE YOURS- STRANGE ISN'T IT?

LEANNE

Since I noticed that Momma was a broken...
I thought thisClip may help better explain

From:http://members.tripod.com/Rexrabbit/brokengene.html

The Dutch gene is a tricky little thorn in our side. Ithas been found that the Dutch gene lives very close to the Broken geneon the chromosome. In fact, they live so close together they areconsidered "linked" genes. Since we do not breed for the Dutch markingswe tend to forget this gene plays a role in our stock. The Dutch geneoperates much like the strange chinchilla series. You can get varyingdegrees of Dutch spotting depending on the mixture of each gene withanother in the list. The good looking Dutch you see on the table are amixture of dud duw. A Dutch with too much white will often be duwduw.While dud dud, Du dud, and Du duw can be an almost solid rabbit with awhite spot or two. Does this last description sound familiar? Yes, it'sthat annoying bunny that looks like a wonderful solid before you noticethe white toe,white toenail or stray white spot on the body. Now keepin mind that most of our rabbits carry a Du Du dominant gene pair thatprevents those spots. But if a Broken inherits one of these pesky Dutchrecessives would we know it? The answer is no! Your Broken mayhave a slightly lighter pattern, but how do you know what is causingit. Modifier "helper" genes also control the size of colored areas andthe shape of the pattern. Therefore, the Broken is capable of hidingand carrying this annoyance around. This does not mean allBrokens carry the recessive Dutch genes. Many of ourBrokens produce fine solids without a problem, but the variety as awhole always has the ability to surprise us.

I went back and took a closer look at the pictures above...Funbunbun, am I correct if I say the toes on the front feet of the darkbaby look white (er, pink)? That in itself could be the Dutchmarkings you were looking for Liz, and obviously you wouldn't be ableto see any "dutch marking" difference on the broken baby.

As for the one that didn't make it - it was hard to tell fromthe picture if it was all white or if it was spotted or marked.

 

[funbunbun]

the father was a blue dutch and you guys know the mother

the baby that didn't make it was a blue broken

Congrats!

YAY! BABIES!!!!!

Hello,

I just thought it was funny that I also have a rabbit named Gypsy. Onlyshe is a Red New Zealand and very very spoiled. She's about 6 monthsold and already 9 pounds, actually pretty good finally. Well, good luckwith the babies and all.
