Charlie Marked
Now don't get upset seeing these wonderful little bundles of quirk they are actually REALLY useful
A Charlie is a special type of broken patterned rabbit. suffice it to say that Charlies look like sparsely patterned brokens, often having less than 10% color on a field of white fur. Charlies who have more than 10% color may be shown with other brokens.
(By the way, they are called Charlies after Charlie Chaplin because of the sometimes abbreviated mustache that resembles his.)
neat fact :breed a charlie to a solid rabbit and you will get 100% broken offspring
Vienna Marked
Vienna marked mini rex are the overflow of a blue eyed white project they are to be avoided unless you are working on blue eyed white rabbits. they come in all colours can have full blue,part blue eyes or brown eyes
it is Not standardized
has nothing to actually do with the genes that produce dutch markings on the breed of the same name
only way to know if this is the full genetics of your weird and wonderful bunny is to breed it to a blue eyed white and work out the % in the litter.
These make great breeding stock in a BEW line only personally i love these little guys
