Rhinelander

Rhinelanders have ideal adult weights of 6.5 to 10 pounds.

They are mostly white, with distinctive black and bright gold-orange markings: a "butterfly" on the nose, six to eight spots along the sides, and a "racing stripe" down the back. The ears are black and orange, on a white head with black and orange circles around the eyes.

You would be unlikely to find a Rhinelander rabbit in a pet shop or rescue situation. They are a rare breed, listed by the American Livestock Conservancy as "Watch" status. According to the Rabbitgeek.com list, based on ARBA registrations, they are no. 13 on the rarest breeds list.
