== Partiquin "Senita" Project ==

Senita Does


The official Working Breed name will be Senita Partiquin Composites were bred by Mary-Margaret Conley in 2018. Stephanie Hughes joined the project in 2020, and Elizabeth Yardley Kangas came on board in 2023. Madison Simmons of Colorado Spring CO joined Fall of 2024 along with A few others who are helping with the project.


The Partiquin Composite " Senita " was started by crossing between a Japanese Harlequin-colored non-pedigreed Doe and a New Zealand red, then crossed back to a New Zealand broken Black.


Non-physical Traits

non-physical traits that are selected are inquisitive, friendly, happy rabbits, with great mothering ability,

physical traits

Senitas are known for their heat and cold tolerance. They have been thriving and doing binkies in temperatures ranging from 0 degrees to 100 degrees. They tend to have slightly larger ears and a slightly longer shoulder and midsection than New Zealands, typically 3-4 inches in proportion. A shorter shoulder and longer midsection are preferred, but not so long as to be mandolin-shaped. When viewed from above, they should be egg-shaped. Most Partiquins have larger litters, like Harlequins.

As of 2023, the Senita rabbit breed is still New Zealand-sized, which is between 9 and 12 pounds. However, Mary Conley has successfully bred rabbits that weigh up to 12 pounds and is slowly working on breeding them to weigh up to 16 pounds. Her goal is to increase their weight without sacrificing their commercial type or color.

Mary's litters are currently hitting 2 pounds, 10 ounces at 5 weeks. Her goal is to increase that to 4-5 pounds by 8 weeks. She's hoping to move those goals up as the litter size increases. To that end, she has incorporated a close-coupled Flemish cross doe and is seeking a shorter shoulder giant chin or nicely typed extra large line to incorporate.

A large rabbit of COMMERCIAL TYPE with Medium bone.

Weights

Jr Min weight 5lbs Jr Max Weight 10lbs

Int Min Weight 10.5lbs Int Max Weight 11.5lbs

A gradual rise begining at the nape of the neck peaking over the center of the hips. A slight curve over the rear of the hindquarters to the table. Not undercut. Partiquins should have equal depth and width, with a gradual egg 🥚 shape when viewed from above.

  • Pinched hindquarters
  • Weak or low Shoulders
  • Overly long shoulders( mandolin)

  • Japanese Brindled
  • Magpie Brindle
  • Broken/shotgun Magpie

PartiQuin / Senita Genetics

Ideally you want rabbits with the following base genetics

  • AA--C---ejej-- ww +++ Agouti Based , full color, homozygous Japanese gene, Wide band , with high rufus
  • aa--C---ejej-- ww +++ Self Based , full color, homozygous Japanese gene, Wide band , with high rufus
  • AA--chdchd---ejej-- ww +++ Agouti Based , homozygous Chinchilla , homozygous Japanese gene, Wide band , with high rufus
  • aa--chdchd---ejej-- ww +++ Self Based , homozygous Chinchilla, homozygous Japanese gene, Wide band , with high rufus

you want to avoid breeding in

  • Vienna(V)
  • White Ear(We)
  • Lutino (P)
  • Dutch(Duw or Dud)
  • Himalayan Californian (ch)
  • Chinchilla Light Shaded (chl)
  • Silver (Si)
  • Steel (Es)
  • Tan (at)

The coat of the Partiquin should be thick, full, dense, and luxurious. It should be approximately 1.5 inches long. This breed is a dual-purpose rabbit, and its coat should demonstrate this.
