is it true that when you breed german giants you get all the colors of the rainbow when they have babys .

and byhound that rainbowdragon is a big yar OF GOLD!!!!!
dont belief that .
what a german giant can give is a big clutch of eggs normal 30 giants up to 60.
and a real german giant have a silvery iris.
and they r allot bigger then the other beardies.
but the color is most of the time not so nice.

German Giants are probably the dragons to have least color compared to normal sized dragons. I have only seen light yellows and some oranges in the GG line of dragons. Initially they were bred for size, not color, though recently breeders are breeding GG's into color lines of normal dragons to give more colorful offspring.

However, breeding two GG will not give you a rainbow of colors in the offspring. Coloration will depend on the parents of the babies, and their parents. Even normal colored dragons may throw out a colorful baby, mostly due to the fact all bearded dragons in North America are from the original stock smuggled out of Australia before an export band on all native wildlife was put into effect. GG were developed in Europe and have made themselves to North America so some 'pure blood' lines of GG are still out there, not related to any North American lines and vise versa, but very hard to trace generations, unless the breeders have kept detailed records.

The best way to know what sort of babies you will have from your pairings, is look at how nice the dragons you are breeding are and the parents of your dragons, this will give an ideal what recessive genes are present. Looking at your dragon's own siblings can also be an indication what the babies will look like.
