What might I get if...

[arikun]

I have a buck 'opal', he is white with light gray markings, light pink in the ears, around nose, etc. They are all Lionheads, some double mane, some single. One rabbits[black] is a Holland Lop. I have pictures on My site!

If I breed him to my females, what might I expect?

My females are as follows.
Self black Lop.
Opal, medium gray, w/the pink here and there.
Black with a white nose, toes and white spot on chest.
And a REW.

Thanks!!!

Anyone?

So wait...are you crossbreeding a lionhead and holland lop?

 

[arikun]

Probably not.
I'm looking for color/pattern outcomes

You would have to know the backgrounds of your rabbits in order to determine the best outcomes for color. Genetics are EXTREMELY complicated. Breeding to the wrong color could result in poor quality.

I really hope you are not planning on creating a crossbred rabbit, especially if all you are concentrated on is color, as that should be the least important thing on your mind when considering breeding.

How do you make Lionlops aka Lionhead Lops then?
I have their pedigrees, so I know what their parents colors are and grandparents for most.

BTW, thanks for the link!
