Inheritance notes for rabbit breeders
Rabbit color outcomes depend on how multiple loci interact, not just one visible color label. Breeders usually need to evaluate extension, agouti, dense, dilute, wideband, shaded, patterned, and modifier behavior together when forecasting a litter.
A good rabbit genetics calculator does not replace records. It works best when the sire, dam, pedigree history, and known hidden recessives are all considered alongside the visible phenotype.
Genotype basics in breeder language
Genotype describes the allele pairs a rabbit carries. A rabbit can look black, blue, tort, chestnut, or broken while still carrying recessive information that changes what it produces in the nest box.
That is why breeders track what a rabbit is, what it carries, and what its ancestors repeatedly produced. Show Rabbit Pro treats genetics as part of a larger rabbitry record system rather than a standalone toy calculator.
ARBA color system overview
ARBA-recognized color names are how most breeders talk about varieties in practice, so the public genetics page is organized to support that vocabulary first. The goal is a calculator that still feels usable to breeders who think in real show and pedigree terms.
As the public genetics section expands, this route is positioned to support breed-specific genetics references, color pages, inheritance explainers, and deeper educational content that links back into the full software platform.
