For my county 4-H presentation, I talked about the standards, history, and facts about my favorite breed.

Thanks for the suggestions, I picked a vague title so I have some wiggle room, running a rabbitry.

I have a color question, I see on this one website that their is a color called gold tipped blue steele. I have 3 kits right now that are blue with a gold undercolor. Is this a real color? I can't find it on any other website.

Yes it is

Gold-tipped blue steel is like an Opal plus the steel gene. The rabbit would have a blue belly rather than white. The lighter band on the body hairs would be minimized, since the Steel gene expands the area covered by the darker color in the coat (in this case, blue).

These aren't my pictures, but here are a couple to give you an idea. I couldn't find a pic of a blue steel, but the first is an opal, the second a gold tipped black steel. The gold tipped blue steel would look somewhat between the two - having a larger amount of the blue color than the opal has.

this is a gold tipped blue steel

Here's some pictures. Maybe they're just opal? They are a mix of American Fuzzy Lop and Mini Lop.

The camera makes this one look a litter golder than he actually is.


You can see the blue better in this picture

YOU DONT HAVE NETHERLAND DWARFS!!! XO

oh yeah

I'd really like to start breeding my pair of rabbits, but I was wondering if it is too cold (we live in Maryland). If I bred them in the next week they would be born in mid March and its supposed to be in the 50's (*F) here's the March weather report for our area : http://www.wunderground.com/history/airport/KADW/2013/3/12/MonthlyHistory.html#calendar
What do think?

That looks pretty close to a blue steel to me. Does he having ticking in his coat or is the gold color just a shade. I can't really tell in the pics. *squints*
