Rat Genetics

Question
QUESTION: What are the outcomes if you breed;

A Double Rex to a Double Velveteen.

A Double Rex to a Standard.

A Double Velveteen to a Rex.

A Rex to a Standard.

ANSWER: I don't know much about velveteen genetics simply because most breeders standard of a velveteen is a poorly displayed rex, and whether or not its a true velveteen is up for debate. In such, the only true velveteen I have had the pleasure of working with produced for me only standard coat babies when bred to a standard coat male, leading me to believe that velveteen works the same way that dumbo does - it requires two carriers, two displayers, or a displayer and a carrier to show.

In that respect, I honestly can't tell you what a D-Velv to a D-rex would produce. I don't know how they act with each other. I would imagine they would be primarily rex or d-rex babies.

A double rex to a standard would produce rex, probably poor rexes at that, unless its a fabulous specimen.

Again, not sure what a double vel would produce with a rex. Double rexes to rexes produce some rex, some d-rex babies.

Rex to standard would produce roughly half rex, half standard.

QUESTION: How about;

Hairless to Standard

Hairless to a Rex

Answer
You're welcome! I'm glad to see you're so thankful for my last answer.

These are basically homework questions. This all depends on what the rat carries. Does your standard carry hairless? Is your hairless a true nude or just a naked double rex?

True Hairless to a Standard who does not carry Hairless gives you standard coat babies that carry hairless. Same idea for rex.

If you have any other genetic questions, please look them up via the vast resources on the internet. There are many anomalies in genetics that I can't begin to touch on all of the different carried, non-carried and partially displayed traits every rat carries. It's never as cut and dry as one variation to another.
