Carolyn, this is FANTASTIC news. Wow. Unless I'm way off base, it meansthat the breed is pretty recent and could be re-created with time andpatience, even if some crossbreeding needs to be done. That is, in theworst-case scenario where it would be difficult to impossible to findpure stock.
Ok, maybe that's all obvious facts, but it just struck me from readingthe history. I guess I understood it on one level, but never reallyrealized how breeds start. You know, just taking them for granted. Oh,now I'm not sure what I'm trying to say. lol![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)

Palomino
Palominos are an American creation, developed by Mark Young of CouleeDam in Washington state, during the 1940s and early 1950s. We willnever know what breeds flow through the blood of the Palomino rabbit;in fact, Mark Young didn't know himself.
