His breed is called Harlequin and his color is called Black Japanese. There are only two bases for Harlequins...Japanese and Magpie. Then there are colors to go with them. Japanese is a any color along with orange and Magpie is any color along with white. Yours is black along with orange so you have a Black Jap. The white is common among Japanese colors.

Just to add....you can also find the Japenese Harlequin pattern found in other breeds of rabbits also. For instance - I raise harlequin lionheads - and I've seen harlequin mini rexes. I forget what other breeds I've seen them in.
I just adore the harlequin pattern and I like the harlequin breed too!

Yup, and this is also a good example of how this color (Black Japanese) can appear in a number of diferent breeds.
It could be a little confusing at first since Harlequin is a BREED as well as a COLOR, like Peg said.

Oh, alrighty then...
I've seen magpies that have the line down their face like her rabbit, so that's why I thought it was possibly a magpie.... woopsy

Here's a pretty Magpie:
I came acrossher pic once and saved it.
I think all Harlequins (and other Harlie-colored breeds) are beautiful. I WILL own a Harlequin-colored lop or Rex one day(or both!).

If I remember correctly, I believe he's about 5-7 lbs.

Definitely is a Harlequin (the breed).It is definitely not a harli dutch because the body style is not the same. Black Japanese Harlequins sometimes get white markings too.

He's very beautiful, but rather small to be a purebred Harlequin. People mix all sorts of breeds with the Harli to get the japanese color pattern, so it's tough to guess exactly what your rabbit is.
