A NZW bred to a NZR will often give NZ Blacks. That has been the starting point for many breeders of NZBs.

OOOOO... you didn't get red, but you did get... errrmm... well copper or sandy or castor or agouti LOL So many breeds have a different name for that color, not sure what NZ people would call it.
We used to raise Satins... I found out I have a problem with color. I want to keep all the cool colors and try to breed better color and try crossing this color to this color and we just didn't have the room for all the varieties. So, we ended up selling all the satins and sticking with Champagnes and Giant Chins. Both come in 1 variety. We still have our meat mutts though... so I can play with a FEW different colors

Congratulations! They are so precious! Thanks for sharing.
I'm partial to the black one! Love the sleek, shiny coat.

pretty babies.The Agouti aka chestnut,sandy,castor is the base color of all rabbits.it is the "wild" color comming from the origin of all domestic rabbits the cotton tail.So that color will pop up especially when crossing colors.pink/red eye white is most recessive color so rew to rew always makes rew but it can be hiding other colors.so when you breed rew to other color you can get interesting results.

Our NZW doe Strawberry just had two red kits and two black (one broken) kits today--sire Hazel is red. We are head over heels in love with the broken! We are lucky to have two red kits and Daddy is gorgeous red. We will probably keep the broken black for both black and broken genes. We breed for meat and for showmanship/pet. This was Strawberry's first litter so it was small but we can't wait to see the colors once they grow older.
