Another awesome video! Thank you. We Americans often look at European rabbits and are awed by their intense colors and say "I wish my rabbits had that depth of color." Yet many of us have what I call a rainbow mentality in that we won't hesitate to breed two very different varieties of rabbits together (albeit purebred) just to see "all the pretty colors" we might get in the litter. This is counterproductive for that breed. Those European rabbits have greater depth and intensity of color because those fanciers only breed ONE variety together for MANY generations over MANY years.
That was an amazing video. So much information to digest... Now I have so many more questions - more on R and the impact to C, and I just discovered Seal in my herd (I didn't realize Seal existed, just poorly colored Blacks). One of my young 'dirty black' bucks was just saved from freezer camp. This will be a complete game-changer for my goals!
This was a fantastic presentation, and helped me to answer and clarify aspects I had been confused about, particularly with the wide band gene. I am excited to learn more from Dr. Roush! Thank you for this
Very interesting work. Much goes into combinations. Really enjoy seeing how these come together. Knowing what each effects is a start. Is it possible get see a list of recommended books?
Absolutely love this! Exactly what I have been looking for and thank you so much! Also would LOVE the modifiers and what wasn't discussed during this towards the end specifically dalmatian tri Rex like the UK have!
Hi this is facinating . Im wondering if you can help a friend of mine has been trying to make a chinchilla dutch we dont have them in Australia. What would we need please I would love to help her make her dream

These videos are extremely helpful! There are so many different sources out there, but this presentation put it all together in a logical way. I would love to know some of the literature and sources he used so I could read and continue learning about the subject. Thank you!
Hello, is there a way to come in contact with you? I am from the netherlands and i do not understand the wide band. I have some trouble with my orange rex
In this presentation it was said a black would never throw an agouti. I breed my black buck to a broken red I got 2 reds 3 whites and what I believe is an agouti.
You would get an agouti from breeding the red. A red is at the agouti level and would produce it. He covers this more in the Beginner Color Genetics video this is on the A allele, agouti is the top, tan pattern is middle and self is the bottom. The rabbit contributes 1 of their alleles to the offspring. In your situation the black contributed the self trait, the red contributed agouti.
I wish he was right but black New Zealand crossed have thrown chestnut for me! I think there is a dominant at a or e because I have never gotten a tort! I had an escape and two black New Zealand does were bred by a tort lionhead and I got 100% red! No agouti from the lionhead so it has to come from New Zealand. No torts either.
Black NZ crossed to another color can easily throw chestnut. Literally just need to add one agouti gene to make a black chestnut. Tort has nothing to do with black or chestnut. Tort is aa ee. However, steel can and will mask agouti sometimes. Your black NZs are likely actually steel.

What questions do you have?
Great video
Best videos ever
Thank you! Dr. Stephan Roush is an expert on color genetics!
@@TheRabbitShow Iv learned so much from studying these videos more than in any article or video Iv ever seen

Thanks for the great video! I found both this and the intro video to be incredibly helpful and I will be referring to them in the future I'm sure.
Thank you! Good luck breeding!
A third on genetics explaining the last part with the mane genes and such would he absolutely 💯 amazing a dream come true even
We will work on it!

Awesome, thank you….keep up the great content!!!
Silver Fox are silvered, not white tipped from Chinchilla(Cchd).
Broken genes (EnEn, Enen, and enen,) work exactly like the Black, Blue and Splash chicken genes.

I’ve been trying to find a genetic separator, is there a chance we could get more info on the easiest way to creat your own?
Great question
Why are silver fox listed as chinchilla based? This is incorrect
Yes your right its a different loci

Also curious about Lutino gene?
How to make a lilac tort?
It is mentioned in the presentation that the smoothness of fur is influenced by adding dilute gene. Is true to all rabbit breed?
Yes

Anyone know where to find his books?
