I wonder if anyone can clarify this.
I breed hotots and one big issue is blue spots in the iris or the most extreme case a totally blue iris. In my mind this isn’t the beautiful vivid blue of the Vienna bew. I have been failing in my attempt to persuade a breeder friend of hotots that have ‘blue’ eyes that this is a fault and not, as they say, a result of the Vienna gene working alongside the du and en hotot genotype. If you breed a blue eye fault with a blue eye fault you’ll end up with more and that such rabbits should not be used or if desperate can be mated to a dark iris animal. In my mind, avoid. I would be very interested in hearing your thoughts. Thank you.
