Question
Hi, I was wondering what colors of Holland lops bred to a sable point Holland lop would be most likely to produce sable point babies? I have a sable point buck and wondered what color doe would be the best match.

Thanks

Answer
Hello Ashley !
Well I hope you rrabbit is doing OK today.
As far as color breeding goes the hollads are very crazy.
it is true that if you breed sable pts together you will have a good chance you get sable pts.
However it really matters what is in the background ( check the pedigree) if you have one and look at all the colors that are in the parents and grand parents. this will give you an idea as how many colors are probable. also check the doe`s pedigree before you buy one  and see if she has what you are looking for.
Good luck
