TRI ?

[bluemini]

I know that if you breed a broken to solid you can get broken pattern , but what colors would the buck and doe have to be to get a TRI ? If color matters that is , i have always wondered how to get a tri . I was thinking one would have to be black and one orange ? I have no idea really lol

What breed? some can come in tri but some not so much.

I wouldstart with some of the genetic websites. No ... you don't just breed orange to something to get tri ... you will just get ... the parents or some agouti combination of both. But tri, more than likely, will not happen. That is a specific gene pattern. You need to find two animals that carry the tri gene ... and pray! I'm no expert on the gene, by far ... since angoras, NZ, CG, & AFL don't play that game ... but I have seen it in Rex's (standard not mini). There are other breeds that carry it ... that would be the best place to start ...

But that is just my opinion ... have fun ...

Well i have mini rexs, and when i first started i bought form a woman in ohio and they were papered and everything but were tri colored mini rex . I just really love that color .

And i found a website on google a few months back on it but i cant find the site now, it had certain colors you breed togher , i know the gene part though . I know also that a broken and broken =broken . And solid and broken =broken .... solid and solid will get more solid babys .


Guess it depends on the bunny , cause i had a orange that was bred to a castor and one was tri but none made it .

broken to broken does not always beget broken ... proof is in the box right now ... broken to broken produced ... 4 broken, 2 solid blks, 2 solid whites ... parents & gparents are broken. This is not an unusual outcome. Since we need to breed solid into the broken genetics at least in the 3rd generation to cut down on the possibilities of charlies and mismarked animals. Genetics is often as random as a shotgun. Broken to solid can produce all of one, none of the other, or any combination in between. In angoras I get a giggle out of people who check the computer genetic programs for what they will get and then are confused when they get nothing it said! Mother nature still has the last laugh!

I hate when I do that too. Find something, don't bookmark it because you are in a hurry, then you can't find it again. This has to do with a breeder who raised Tri Color Holland Lops. I thought they were not accepted in ARBA but have been since 2001. She goes into the genetics of how she got the Tri Color Holland Lops.

Thanks never knew this about Tri Color Lops. Hope this helps.

BTW, I find that I need to go back and read this several times to understand. Reading in small spurts doesn't overload the brain and can actually figure things out. That's just me.

I'm one you giggled at! That's exactly what I did to try to figure out what mine were. Glad I learned that lesson early and X2 on Mother Nature.

Studied genetics as a teen and then again as an adult. But when I breed I go right to the pedgree of the animals and pray that the person who produced it knew their colors! And guess ... my theory is I am breeding for body and coat first ... color is just an added attraction! Everybody needs a rainbow!

I hadlops once but just a black and one tort , but anyways mine was with minirex about the part above but guess its for them all , and when i bred broken to solid i did get broken so guess its right ?

yeah im going to try and look for it again but i doubt i wil find it again !
