The second bun is a tortoiseshell dutch - she could be a cross or just badly marked (as far as dutch markings go).

I can never remember which of the pointed rabbits are which. Breed wise he looks about dwarf lop size but it's hard to tell from pictures. Do you know how much he weighs?

That picture looks very similar to Benji just without such a grey nose and ears.
I think you may be right!: a holland lop....

Sorry to be confusing I think tortoisehell/harlequin pattern are pretty close to the same thing.

The breed harlequin would have the pattern all over but a dutch rabbit with harlequin/tortoishell pattern would have the dutch rabbit shape/white parts and the the pattern where the colour would normally be.

So Tiger is a harlequin rabbit where as Amber is a dutch rabbit with harlequin colouring.

Holland Lop is american for dwarf lop (I think... or mini... one of the two).
