What colours/markings are my rabbits?

Hiya

I have two mini rexes. I am not sure what their colour is called, or what type are they. I'm sure Milly is a dalmatian, but mismarked as she has few spots, but Molly doesn't seem dalmatian at all, just big patches, with dalmatian type face. Could you help me with this?

I'd say they're both dalmatian rexes. They may not be "perfect" markings for a technical show judge, but in the great scheme of things that's probably the nearest. I think it's all a bit of a continuum - when does a blond haired human suddenly become brown haired? There is no definite cut-off point between the two, so if one has splodgier markings than the other then I don't necessarily think it means they are different.
 
Dalmatian or broken. They're both caused by the same genes either way.:D
The dalmatian rexes at school kept getting broken kids, even once a caped one:love:

Breeding Dalmatian to Dalmatian generally can give anything from fully colored babies to almost white ones.
In one litter we even had one mostly white, one dalmatian and one black kit:roll:
