Lionhead Rabbit Thread

[Hickoryneck]

My daughter has a REW Lionhead Doe I believe she is pet quality she is cute and lives in my daughters room. My daughter wants to buy a mate for her girl and start breeding her twice a year there is a local breeder who has some really nice rabbits (she breeds/shows pedigreed lionheads) she sells them at one of the swaps I attend monthly and I have been debating on wether or not to give in and buy one she has mostly solids.

What would be a good color match for our doe? I do not know anything about her back ground so cannot tell you about her parents or siblings color I like colorful litters and that would be one of the goals

I would post a pic of her but have no clue how to do that Scratch that figured it out

TheREW looks to be double maned, which is good. REW, Black and Tort are the colors on the current Certificate of Development and if passed will be the colors to have for show. Get a Back buck that carries REW. REW x Black carrying REW in theory will most likely produce both. If she is Agouti, A_B_ccD_E_ you will get mostly Chestnuts. After you breed her you will find out more about her genotype and what color works best to breed her to.

What is the difference between Single and Double Maned?

single is wool just around the face. if it is double it has that plus a wool skirt around the butt also.
