BROKEN LOCI

• En-broken
  

  Broken

The broken Pattern is dominate to solid. Rabbits with two Broken Geans are called Charlies and should be only very carefully bred becuse the Broken gene when double up carries a 70% probability of producing a Rabbit with megacolon a digestive tract disorder.

Vienna

• V-Vienna
  

  Vienna

Vienna is most frequently known for Blue eye white as to copies of "vm" will produce a solid white rabbit with blue eyes. Vienna is a co-dominate gene, and a "Vmvm" rabbit is a Vienna carrier, in this case some random white markings can bleed through including the brilliant blue eye color in one , part of or both eyes.

Dutch

• Si-Silver

Modifiers

Intensity of Red

Intesity

The intensity of Red is a gene modifier that controls how saturated the Pheomelanin is in a rabbits coat. We refer to this as Rufus. A rabbit with very little intensity can look almost like a dirty white, while a Rabbit with extremely high Rufus can present as a deep mahogany maroon color.
