Is his head tilt gone along with his ear dropping? Hopefully you'll have a really nice SS buck out of the two of them!

Hey, look at you! You chatterbox you. Now you can request a new title! PM the Admin to do so

Sidd- I wasn't completely sure if his head was tilted along with the ear. I'm guessing that having one full ear straight up could be a little heavy on the head. As of right now however, his head is normal ^_^

Neubunny- Same here! His ears are slightly folded which means opening of the ears are not as wide as they should be. I wonder between that and maybe perhaps the weather it caused it. Never will really know. :)

ok you pulled my arm Sidd here ya go!

These are of Mocha and his sister Sterling (out of Hershey and Palomar). I'll get updated pics of Silvia's litter once Koda's head tilt is gone.

Here is Mocha. I'm probably going to sell him after his ugly stage. He does have great bone, full HQ and wide shoulders but he is long in shoulder, folded ears and I just don't like his top line. Because I have the space, I'll grow him out a few more weeks. I have little Koda and if Silvia is preggo, I'll have more siamese sables to choose from! Just have to pick the better type and his sister Sterling is much better!

He is smack dab in his ugly stage so do not mind the new fur growth mixed in with baby fluff on his head lol.

And now for Sterling! Even if she does "ok" on the show tables, I think she will make a great brood doe, especially bred to Luigi! I love her bone, ears (although slightly slipped), great head, could use a little more muscle in body and slightly wider shoulders.

look at her head!

I know she is not in the correct pose here. She will pose but just doesn't hold it all together for long, she's just busy. She does hold her head straight up when I try to put her in a pose, not sure if that's because she's still learning or not. She does not keep it pointing up as you can see. She's just a little awkward trying to pose her.. will keep an eye on that as she matures.

Here is Palomar as a junior, looks like Sterling is a little mini vs of mommy!! Woot! :bundance2: :wubz:

I have quite a bit of experience crossbreeding lops and the one ear up thing can be quite normal/harmless. I have noticed it countless times with baby lops and lop mixes, in my opinion it is like having more ear control and really adds to their personality lol.

The white rabbit you have pictured is some sort of lilac frosted pearl, I have had quite a few of them that I would show some pics of but I dont know how to get around the "under 200 kb" thing. My pearl giant looks quite similar for example and is Aabbcchdcddee as far as I know, strangely enough she has the slightest color of blue spotting throughout her coat(something to do with grampa being broken and the mother being an off blue I think) yet she has an obvious lilac colored face and ears.

easiest way to post pictures in this forum is to get a free photobucket account, upload the photos to photobucket and paste the IMG code (link to photobucket) here.

Thanks Sidd ^_^

Wildrabbits- yeah first time to have a crazy ear like that lol happy it flopped though. As far as the white kit, parents are Siamese Sable and Sable point so he couldn't be a frosted pearl however he sure does look like one! Heturned 5weeks old today and he is still lighter than ever, no change in color. No notice of ruby glow. I'm pretty sure his dam is a sable point so no mix up there. I'm still horribly confused on him, he looks nothing like the one blue point I had. :/

Pic #1 was my first crazy all white litter pretty much including ghost chinchilla, ermine/frosted pearl, BEW, and broken lilac chinchilla. Pics #2,3,4 are from my blue eyed wooly POL. Pic #5 is him and the female I bred him with resulting in the following rabbits Odie and Clair. Clair was my Giant wooly lilac frosted pearl. She was 25% French lop. Notice the ears and differing coloration as time progressed.

The chinchilla lop was from a different branch of the very first crazy white litter I had. Her kits ended up with the resulting 3 whites from what seemed to be a tort male..The last 3 pics are of Mylop Splorer, she is my POL with some very interesting traits. It is however still very hard to tell for sure who is a ghost chinchilla, ermine/frosted pearl and/or BEW carrier ext. I cant match the genotypes to phenotypes for sure but some of these rabbits pictured carried BEW, wideband, cchd, and ee genes for sure

At least the ghost chin (if it is a wideband chin) should be distinguishable by there undercolor (white ee rabbits shouldnt have it).
