Red American Rabbit

[dbunni]

Thank you for the information. They do look unique. She has the color, my guess is the body and, of course, head nead work. Since they are distinctively different in those areas. Is a really neat pix. I do love to see what people are doing in their breeds. Bunnies are a rainbow of colors! Or in this case ... a flag!

You're right. It was a Thrianta cross. I got the info from Chris:

"The kits were born red from day one just like the Thrianta that sired the
litter.

This is my project and has nothing to do with Jeremy's tort project. The agouti
gene is already present in the American gene pool. I just tweaked and added
Rufus. Thank you.

Since Allen and Randy are two judges that I admire, I took the red up to the
show to "show-off". I slipped her onto Allen's table as a joke and he had the
picture on Facebook before I could get the rest of them off the table. I am
quite pleased with how she has turned out at four and a half months with two
intermediates next to her. There is still a lot of work to be done."

So the doe is a 1st generation cross to an American. I know Chris has several "off color" rabbits from crossing whites and blues and she knew that adding a Thrianta to the mix she would get a red rabbit. Putting it on the table was more of a spoof, but the red is off to a rocking start!
