Hey! Long time no see lol

So Oreo and Buttercup's baby turned out to be a doe just as I was hoping :biggrin:

Shes a charlie marked black otter and is just a few days shy of being 3 months old. She seems to have pretty good type and her fur feels nice but I'm still not very good at this, so, honest opinions? I hope you can see her, the sun was shining through the window in the background.

She's a cutie! I like her topline, and her shoulders. She's well rounded over her topline, but she looks pinched in the HQ, and she slopes off a bit in the HQ as well.

She could use more depth.
She isn't showable though, since she's a charlie. Too bad, I think she'd do pretty good on the tables.

Breed her to a solid Black Otter or a black and you will have some awesome brokens and some super nice solids......Toby

hello, sorry if this question is a bit irrelevant but i've been reading a book on rabbit health and it talks about "charlies" - a specific type of marking that makes a rabbit succeptible to "megacolon" disease... i was wondering if the charlie in the book is the same type of charlie you are making reference to?

A charlie is a rabbit that gets two broken genes and therefore ends up with a lighter color pattern. I have not heard of any medical complications related to light color patterns.

The homozygous broken color pattern is associated with intestinal problems because the same genes the control the migration of the pigment cells also control the migration of nerve cells to the intestinal system. Megacolon is a problem we more commonly see in Dwarf Hotots because they are homozygous broken. Not all homozygous brokens exhibit intestinal issues.
