144 Rabbit Coat Colors And Their Genotypes

 

Below is the most extensive color family chart on my website.  It contains almost every Holland Lop color you can think of (and probably some you'd never think of).  There are some exceptions.  For example, there are no "steel" colors listed.  You can take any of the "E-" full-extension colors (e.g., black) and add "steel-tipped" to the name, changing the E to Es (The only exception is the chestnut, which is A- B- C- D- E-; if you change the "E" to "Es" the color is actually called "steel" rather than "steel-tipped chestnut").  There are no "tri" color rabbits on this chart either.  Blue-eyed whites are not included because they involve a totally different gene.  Otherwise, you'll find most everything else. 

 

Each line on the chart contains one color family.  They vary only by the color gene (C, cchd, cchl ch or c).  The genotypes are listed with dashes for a missing equally dominant or less dominant gene.  Notice that the far right column contains "REW" regardless of the other genes involved.

 

I use Breeders Assistant for Rabbits with the optional genetics portion.   Genetics can be tough, but using the Trial Matings function is not only fun, but very educational.
