I hate genetics. :crybaby: LOL... no not really, but why do all of my awesomely typed babies have to be unshowable colors? :( Anyway.. two questions:

1) Does anyone know the genotype for the Self Chinchilla? I need to figure it out for one of my does since I do not have it in Evans and have to enter it in there myself. It should be something like aaB_cchdcchlD_E_Enen, right?

2) What in the world can I breed this girl to and get a decent amount of showable colors?

Who's the bunny in question? Self chinchillas look exactly like a black (they COULD have marbled/blue eyes but that's the only way you'd be able to tell without breeding).

Genotype is aaB_cchd_D_E_ (just a chin with the self gene instead of agouti)

Depending on what she carries, I'd breed her to something agouti (not orange unless you want to chance torts in a few generations) to get chins. You actually could breed her to a self too...you'd get selfs that carry chin. Could potentially get self chins in a few generations but when you're working with self, shaded, chin AND agouti you're going to be chancing unrecognized colors in just about anything, lol.

I had a couple breeders tell me that Mojave was a Self Chin. Upon inspection of the color, it matches exactly.

Mojave:


MR Self Chin (one picture I found):


That's cool though.. she can just go into my Chin program, LOL. Bubbles will be happy to have her.. :P

You put that MR up there just to make me drool, didn't you?



:P

LMAO.. sorry!! :angel:
