Rabbit Color Guide: Self Group

NOTE: This page is under construction. Some breeds, such as Rex, Mini Rex, English Spots, and Flemish Giants have different names for varieties than do other breeds. I have tried to include breed specific names in parentheses next to the more common color name. 


DONATE PHOTOS! If you have photos matching the color and genotype of any we are missing, and you would like to donate them, please email us or send us a message from our Facebook page! Please be sure to include how you would like to be credited (e.g., just a name, rabbitry name with link to rabbitry, link to your Facebook page/group, etc.)

When a BEW is genetically chocolate base or sable based, the ruby glow from the chocolate/shaded can give a purple cast to the eyes
