  My bunny is a Havana, according to the shelter, and since he is brown, he’s the chocolate Havana. He looks similar to the chocolate Havanas on breed sites and when you search for chocolate Havanas, however, he has little white feet, a tiny dot of white on his nose, and a light white-ish gray tuft on his chest. Havanas’ recognized colors are black, blue, brown, and broken. Could my bun’s white feet indicate he is mixed with something?

  Chances are he probably is a mix. The white marks you describe are usually from the vienna gene. So these rabbits are called Vienna-Marked. It’s to do more with colours and patterns then breeds themselves. With the vienna gene, you might get rabbits with blue eyes and dutch rabbit-like markings or just a few white parts like spot on the nose or lips and one white sock or white ear, for example.
