| Holland Lops We are currently working on beautiful Blue-Eyed Whites. Since we aren't able to travel to shows much right now, we decided to concentrate on a color project. |

Breeding Blue-Eyed White Holland Lops
The Blue-Eyed White or "Vienna" gene is recessive (vv). A "normal colored" bunny is dominate (VV). Therefore,
there are several ways to produce a BEW. If you bred BEW x BEW, you will get a litter of all BEW (unless
there is a pesky REW gene in there, which could make a REW masking BEW). If you breed two Vienna Gene
carriers together, you can get Blue-eyed Whites, Blue-eyed White carriers and non-carriers in the litter - just
depends on how the genes fall. If you breed a Vienna Gene carrier x a normal color, you will get a litter of
bunnies which all carry the Blue-eyed White gene. Even if they don't show any mismarks (white spots or
marbling of the eyes) they definately carry the BEW gene. This should be noted on the pedigree of any possible
carrier. Please keep good records and make known on pedigrees any possible BEW carriers. Most folks who
aren't working with the color don't like surprises popping up! Breeding BEWs is definately a challenge. The
color hasn't been worked with as much and it requires patience (and a judge without prejudice!) to have a BEW
who can compete against the torts.
