I don't have a picture of a "charlie" or a "boxer".
- A Blanc de Hotot with no eye bands is a charlie.
- A Blanc de Hotot with only one eye band is called a boxer.
- If there is banding around the half of an eye, but it fades into nothing as it goes around the eye, I'm pretty sure that would be a charlie too.
Never breed a charlie or a boxer. In fact I will keep some rabbits with fatter eye bands just as a precaution against the bands getting too thin or disappearing.
A Blanc de Hotot with no eye bands is just a white rabbit!
Thanks for the reminder about the "Boxer" from Laurie Staley-Jones!
ReplyDeleteHmmm...I had a rabbit that I'm pretty certain was a Blanc D' Hotot. I had to put her down when she was 10yrs old because she had uterine cancer.
