To The Top
 Agouti Group
The Agouti group consits of those that have the top side of the body banded and ticked. Banding is a ring pattern in the coat when blow into. Those in the Agouti group have three or more bands of color. Ticked is the tip of the hairs being a different color. The ears are to be laced with the same color as the ticking. There should be (ether white or tan) eye circles,inside of ears,the nape of neck (triangle behind head). Nostrils, underside of jowls, belly and underside of tail should be white or tan also, as the picture shows.
Genetics: The dominant Agouti gene (A) produces the agouti markings of the eye circles, nostril and chin markings. It also produces the ring pattern in the coat, but a rabbit can still have the dominant (A) with out the coat ring pattern if the eye circle, jowl and nostril marking in ether white or tan are present.

|
| Genetics: The recessive (bb) changes a black based rabbit (aaB_C_D_E_) into a brown based rabbit (aabbC_ D_E _); So a Chestnut (A_B_C_D_E_) becomes a Chocolate Chestnut (A_bbC_D_E_) and a A black (aaB_C_D_E_) into a chocolate (aabbC_D_E_) |

BREEDING: Wondering if you have a true Lynx?
Bred your lynx to a orange or fawn. If you get Chestnuts you have a true lynx. If you get Oranges/fawns you have a smutty fawn. |

To The Top
Wide Band Group
Bunnies in the wide band group look similar to those in the Agouti group, with the white belly,eyecircles, jowls, bottom of tail, and lacing of ears, the difference is the hair shaft. Instead of multiple bands of color on the shaft a wide band consists of two colors, the top and under color. Sometimes there is a third band when unwanted smut occurs on the tips of the hair.
Genetics: All wide bands carry a dominant "A" giving the agouti apperance, they also carry a double ressesive "ee" which removes the extra banding.

| Holland Lop | American Fuzzy Lop | Color at Birth |
| Genetics: Most people have a hard time distingishing fawns from oranges and Oranges from reds. Their genotype is the same on the scale we are looking at, however there are different modifiers that change the intensity of the rufus coloring. A fawn has less rufus modifers then an orange and a red has more then an orange. |

 Tan Pattern Group
Those in the tan pattern group have markings simiaular to the agouti group. There should be (ether white or tan) eye circles,inside of ears,the nape of neck (triangle behind head). Nostrils, underside of jowls, belly and underside of tail should be white or tan also. However those in the tan pattern group have no ring banding on the hair shaft. Those included in the tan pattern group are tans, otters, and martins.
Genetics: "at" is recessive to A but slightly more dominant over a. This gene is called the Tan pattern gene because it causes a Tan pattern.
