TRUE VS FALSE DWARFS

5/23/2020

0 Comments

 
Firstly, it should be noted that mini lops are a dwarf breed. Not every Mini lops has the dwarf gene though, some may have no dwarf gene and are known as a false dwarf, Most mini lops have one copy of the gene though. For example: Teddy is a TRUE dwarf at 2.5lbs, this means that he has ONE copy of the dwarf gene. On the other hand, Autumn, is a FALSE dwarf, weighing around 4.4lbs. There is a large weigh difference yet both are purebred mini lops!

So, if you breed two mini lops who both have one dwarf gene (True dwarf), most of the babies will have one dwarf gene. Some will have no dwarf gene. And some will have two copies of the dwarf gene, and be a peanut.

TRUE Dwarf x TRUE dwarf=
​25% chance False dwarf
50% chance True dwarf ,
25% chance peanut
Therefore, if you get no peanuts, its a 50% chance babies will be false or true

TRUE Dwarf x FALSE dwarf=
50% chance False dwarf
50% chance True dwarf

FALSE Dwarf x FALSE dwarf=
100% False dwarf
