Fawn Mini Rexs

[xoxocammyxoxo]

Just FYI ... to get COD you need to have been a member in good standing for ... I think it is 5 years. The only reason I am aware of this is that we are working on the COD for Giant Angoras ... Black holds COD, otter soon to come. But then, if you are working on a new color, it will take time to make it "solid" ... all fawns on pedigree, etc.

you can contact ARBA director in charge of CODs, Cheryl ... angora breeder in HI ... to find out who holds what CODs and if there is a back up individual for it.

Good luck .. it is a challenge!

Yeah it's five years. I figure if I start the fawn program next year or really early in Jan 2012 it will give me at least four years to work on it before I have to present it.

... before you apply. It is almost 2 years until the first present from application. This gives you time to make all the paperwork perfect! The application for black GAs was made in the summer of 2010, but we present at convention fall of 2012!

Oh, that's good to know. That gives me time to finish my genetic studies and get the reds situated and find a couple fawns to breed. and get that all going.

yes, i know they r not rare colored just rare to find here. i totally agree on charlies they r wonderful for breeding if u know how to breed them.

well i took some pics today. this is my red buck i accidently made all grown up he was born in june. i have never bought a red he was born from an opal x tort mateing from breeders i had already. he does have reds in his lineage as well as a few other colors. at time he was made/born i didn't even know there was such a thing as red mini rexes i hadn't even looked at his parents papers so i was not trying at all for the color.

this is his baby that is now 10 days old. his mom is a black tort. i'd like to see more darker sides on them but since noone else here has them to sell i decided to start with these and improve on them in my breeding projects.

I like the reds and the fawns. I'm having a really hard time accepting some of the breeding combination that I'm being told though in regards to the genetics of the rabbits and what not. But I'm still researching so. I'm sure I've got some things to learn

what is confusing u?

my second litter useing my red buck was born yesterday. i got 5 babies looks like 3 reds, 2 lynx and a black or 5 reds and a black. will know better in a couple days when fur is in.

Just thought I would throw this in though I am not sure if it is needed.
This is what you DON'T want in a red (but is what I have) luckily I am not looking to show her. She is just my marshmallow!

Note the musty coloring on the body and tip of the ears. She isn't bad looking as Minis go (as far as I can tell) but as Reds go she would be disqualified.

I think the word you are looking for is "smutty," not "musty"

I think the word you are looking for is "smutty," not "musty" wink

Thanks!

awe, she is cute! my buck has a little smut on tips of his ears also if u look close. the baby above still looks clear so far. i'm hopeing to breed the smut out of them as i work on the reds once i get a foundation going. here is pics of my 3 new red babies. looks like 1 is clear and 2 probably have the tip of ear smut too. :/ at least one baby is pictured twice hope these show the 3 and i didn't double any others lol.
