If your rabbit is white with red eyes, you should realize that "Red-Eyed White" or "Ruby-eyed White" is a description, not a breed. Many breeds have "REW" as a recognized color, and the albino mutation, which causes an animal to have white fur and red eyes, could occur in a rabbit of any breed, or of no particular breed at all.

You might still be able to figure out what breed your bunny is, but you won't be able to rely on the fur and eye color to do it. You will have to work with the rabbit's other characteristics, and in the end you may not be able to narrow the breed down much beyond "cute bunny".

Here are a few examples:

American rabbit in REW color

For a key branch on those breeds which are entirely (or mostly) found in REW color see UPRIGHT / NORMAL / SOLID / REW or see our Fur Color Table
