Broken group
Tri Color Holland Lop
White with two additional colours patched across it, usually black and orange, or blue and fawn. Effectively a broken harlequin.
A tri color Holland Lop sits in the broken group. White with two additional colours patched across it, usually black and orange, or blue and fawn. Effectively a broken harlequin.
Genuinely uncommon, and one of the colours people search for by name. If this is what you want, expect to wait for one rather than expecting to find one today.
The genetics
The harlequin allele (ej) combined with the broken gene (En). You need both, which is why it is uncommon.
What a good one looks like
All three colours clearly present and clearly separate. A butterfly on the nose. Patches that read as distinct rather than merging into a general muddle.
What to check for
Only two colours actually showing, which happens more often than sellers admit. Colours blending together rather than sitting in clean patches.
Is tri color actually rare?
Uncommon and in demand. It requires two separate genes to line up and the result is highly variable, so a genuinely good tri colour is a real find.
Common questions
What is a tri color Holland Lop?
Effectively a broken harlequin. It needs the harlequin gene and the broken gene together, which produces white with two additional colours patched across it, usually black and orange or blue and fawn.
How do I check a tri color is really tri?
Count the colours. All three should be clearly present and clearly separate. Rabbits sold as tri colour frequently show only two, with the third either absent or so faint it does not read.
What it costs
Every Holland Lop here is $300 to $400 regardless of colour. Full pricing here.
