The Vienna gene (Vv)
V=normal
v=Vienna white
Blue Eyed Whites are the only color to carry the genetic code (vv). As a result they should only be bred to other BEW. Occasionally BEW are bred to colored animals by experienced BEW breeders. The resulting offspring, (Vv),will be Parti/dutch-marked kits. These often resemble the Broken pattern(En), but are not.
The Vienna gene is another gene that will come back to haunt colored offspring. Often showing up generations later as marbled eyes, or patches of white on for head or feet.
