Well, Baxter is home!!!! AND... I am happy to announce--as confusing as it is--that he IS purebred Flemish after all!!!! The reason I thought he was mixed breed is because of his broken coat.
I do know that
Solid x Solid = 100% solids
Broken x Solid= 50% brokens/solids
Broken x Broken= 25% solid, 25% broken, 50% charlies (I think)
but there are always flaws and mismarks that ARE exceptions to the rule.
Think about it... 2 normal parents having an albino child... It happens. I was there today and saw the parents. The mother is a purebred solid fawn, and the father a purebred solid sandy..... and Baxter is mismarked. The woman keeps record of all of her litters and I saw it with my own eyes. This is true. She said that in the show world, rabbits like Baxter would often be culled and never spoken of as they are considered "freaks" or whatever... and they are disqualifications. But, not this guy!!!
She is going to let me know of his actual birth date as soon as she can but she thinks he was born in March.... so he's about 5 months old... and BIG!!! My 10 lb cat that you see in the pic is almost the same size as him I am in love
So, without further hesitation, here is my PUREBRED FLEMISH GIANT, BAXTER!!!!! *jumps up and down*
