![]() ![]() *Broken variations are included but are actually their own group. Spread this mixture on top of the crust layer and place the dish back in the fridge. Spread and press cookie mixture into the bottom of a baking dish and refrigerate. Cream is the diluted form of red/orange/fawn, and a frosty is basically an orange with the chinchilla gene. Combine crushed cookies, melted butter, and orange zest. A true red bunny will have a darker tummy and actually has the wide band gene instead of merely non-extension of black. ![]() Finally, oranges, fawns, and reds are genetically nearly identical (fawn was actually deleted from the ARBA SOP in an early 2016 amendment) it is the amount of rufus modifiers that make the orange color appear saturated or muted. To further complicate things, oranges in particular can have "smut" or dark ticking, which are faults if showing these rabbits. Basically, these colors are Agoutis without the black color extension (non-extension Agoutis). Instead, they have a wide band of color, usually orange or cream. This is due to the non-extension (ee) gene not allowing the black to extend such as in chestnuts and chinchillas. This group is my absolute favorite but is a bit confusing because these bunnies have the Agouti markings (white around eyes/nose/mouth/inside ears/bellies) but don't have the dark ticking at the tips of their fur. Take a look at the following table listing SOME of the colors within each of the 8 Holland Lop groups and whether they are black/blue/chocolate/lilac based. Diluted colors as well as chocolate are more difficult to achieve than black varieties since these are recessive traits (a recessive gene has to come from each parent in order to be visible, so the mom and the dad would have to give the baby a dilute "d" gene to make it "dd" and/or a chocolate "b" gene to make it "bb" and appear chocolate). Blue is the diluted form of black, and lilac is the diluted form of chocolate. In an effort to make it a bit easier to understand, know that every bunny color is either BLACK (B), BLUE (B_ dd), CHOCOLATE (bb), or LILAC based (bb dd). Within each group is a collection of similar genotypes (genetic code), but the phenotypes (observable features, such as color) can appear to vary widely. Tan Pattern, Ticked, Pointed White, B ro ke n According to the American Rabbit Breeders Association (ARBA) and their Standard of Perfection (SOP), Holland Lops are divided into the following 8 color groups:Īgouti, Wide Band, Self, Sha d ed.
