While visiting in London, my sister-in-law said the first time she held our mini Lion lop in her arms, she knew instantly she would settle for no other breed than this lion maned, lop-eared, compact bundle of fluff for her and her daughter Heidi, who also fell in love with Levi.
Problem is, they live in New York! I advised her they would be much better off working with Lionheads or Lionlops for Heidi's 4H hobby (US version of Young Farmers Club?). Since mini lion lops aren't a recognised breed in America.
However they are spoiled and used to getting their way with money no issue whatsoever. So now I embark on the joyous adventure of helping them find the right buck and doe(s), and flying them on my next scheduled trip to NY or if not permitted, via non-stop pet cargo into JFK using an international service specialised in relocating pets and pulling the appropriate permits, quarantine, etc.
While they are doing their research on their end, such as deciding what colour(s) they want their foundation to be, I am scouting available bunnies. They said they are not picky, but to try to get one Blue-Eyed White and one Orange, and to make sure they bear pedigree paperwork.
What are the BRC recognised colours for Mini Lion Lops? I have already contacted a few LLUK breeders and they say all their colors they work with are BRC-recognised. Is there any way to make sure? Are there any colour exclusions I should not send them carriers for? Genetics is by no means my forte but I would worry if the doe(s) buck I send them are hiding an unpermitted recessive colour, that surfaces and sabotage their lines, with such a tiny gene pool unless they outcross in America.
Many thanks, all; Cheerio!
