A broken orange Holland Lop sits in the broken group. Warm orange patches over white. Bright, clean, and one of the best-selling patterns in the breed largely because it photographs so well.
Moderately common. It appears regularly enough that you should not be paying a scarcity premium, though a genuinely well-marked example is another matter.
The genetics
Genotype En_ over an orange base.
What a good one looks like
Saturation in the orange patches, a complete butterfly, and clean white where the white is. The orange should be genuinely orange rather than fawn.
What to check for
Smut in the orange, same as any orange rabbit. Weak or split butterfly.
Is broken orange actually rare?
Common, and in high demand. This is one of the colours that sells the fastest, and it is worth knowing that popularity rather than scarcity is what drives the price on it at most rabbitries.
Common questions
Why do broken orange Holland Lops sell so fast?
They photograph exceptionally well. Bright orange against clean white is about as camera-friendly as a rabbit gets, and that drives the demand. It is popularity rather than rarity, and it is worth knowing which one you are paying for.
What faults should I check on a broken orange?
Smut in the orange patches, meaning grey or dark shading where it should not be. And the butterfly, which should be complete and symmetrical rather than split.
What it costs
Every Holland Lop here is $300 to $400 regardless of colour. Full pricing here.
