What offsprings would a Polish Dwarf Rabbit and a Miniature Rex Rabbit make when breed? Dwarf or Rex?

Also the Dwarf is black + white colored and the Rex is gray + white colored.What offsprings would a Polish Dwarf Rabbit and a Miniature Rex Rabbit make when breed? Dwarf or Rex?
There are far to many unwanted rabbits in the world to be breeding mixed rabbits. The only reason a person should be breeding rabbits is to improve the breed. Which means breeding purebred rabbits only. The other acceptable breeding would be for meat. These rabbits will be small and not a desired meat breed.





The rabbits will not have rex fur. The rex fur is a recessive gene and it would take 2 generations for it to show up. You could get just about any color depending on what the hidden genes the rabbits carry.





There are many different colors that can be called gray and white. It could be broken blue which is a broken gray pattern. Broken just means the pattern is broken and causes white. Gray could be chinchilla, opal, blue otter all of which would have white. This could mean that the rabbits could be any color in the rainbow.





I strongly suggest that if you wish to breed rabbits that you join the ARBA. They will send you a book called raising better rabbits and cavies. It will give you advice on breeding purebred rabbits as well as explain the importance of not mixing breeds.





Before anyone breeds any rabbits they should know what colors are compatible. Since there is no such thing as a color called gray I am guessing that you really dont understand what your rabbits are. Crossing rabbits with incompatible colors will give you a bunch of useless rabbits that will most likely end up as snake food. For each non useful rabbit born that is one in a shelter that is euthanized.What offsprings would a Polish Dwarf Rabbit and a Miniature Rex Rabbit make when breed? Dwarf or Rex?
None. You shouldn't be breeding them.





However, the rex coat is a recessive gene which means you only get one when 2 rex genes are present, so the babies wouldn't have a rex coat.





They'd probably be small sized, normal coated with a mixture of colours.
Same answer for the same question you've already asked:





the offspring will create approx. 8 unwanted baby bunnies looking for yet another home that doesn't exist!
