Rabbit color question...

[MicksMom]

I know a broken color is a white background with a recognized color"splotches".Shaker's breeder called him a broken fawn, but I don't see fawn as a recognized color for Mini Rexes. Any ideas?

Hi there!!

I just moved your post to the Rabbitry where the breeders should see it. Hopefully one of them will be able to answer your questions.

Fawn is not a recognized color of mini rex nor is it a popular one. I think that Shaker is a Broken Lynx.

Can you take a full body pic?

Rabbits can come in colors that aren't recognized by the breed club. An unrecognized color is not able to be shown- but it is still a purebred, possibly from parents that are recognized colors.

I agree that a full body shot of Shaker would help determine his color. But he does look fawn to me.

I think it might be a lynx too but its hard too tell from just the head shot.bluebird

Thanks for all you help! Being involved with dogs, I realize there are colors or markings that make a critter unshowable, but still purebred (like white German Shepherds). I'm just one of those people who like to use the correct term if atall possible (example- Mick was a very light yellow Lab, not white). Any hoo- here's a pictureI took of Shaker last spring.

I definitely think it is Lynx because I can see a lilac tinge to the color. You wouldn't see that if it was Fawn.
