I thought their markings were present from the time their fur grows in? I got Ophelia at 9 weeks and she had her exact markings already. I have seen that some bunnies just have “incomplete” markings that never resemble a classic dutch. That could be the case here. Looks young, maybe in range of 4-5 months? Mine is going on 8 months and the above picture was taken yesterday.I think so too
And your dutch is so precious and cute!!!
Thank you
She’s very sweet to me! -
Thanks everyone for your answers. I’m surprised there are so mane of them
The bunny is a boy named Finic (which means date fruit in Russian
), he’s approx. 5-6 months old.Posted By BunNoob<3 on 8/15/2017 3:10 PM

If you google “mismarked dutch rabbit” you’ll see what I mean about an incomplete pattern.I googled “mismarked dutch rabbit” and it seems that it’s really might be it! Thank you for your help

I’m not sure Dutches develop theor markings over time. My bunny boy to-be is half dutch and i saw pictures of him before his fur came in as a baby. You could see where his white fur would grow in for his markings and he has seemed to always had his markings.Do you know if your babu is a pureblood? Because i could see it being part dutch. My bunny boy who is half duth, is the only one in his litter who had complete dutch markings and that cute does look like she has partial dutch markings.
Unfortunately I don’t know if it’s a pureblood rabbit. But it’s cute anyway. And matches my furniture

Finic is just a total adorable fluffball! I think you and BunNoob<3 are right, he's a "mismarked" Dutch. I looked it up just now myself and see that it's actually a lot harder to get "correct" markings on Dutch rabbits than I had supposed, so there are undoubtedly a lot of these little beauties hopping around.I actually learned that Ophelia has some pretty good markings! ….or so I think!! When she was a baby she definitely had a blaze that went through the ears and connected to the neck, which they say is desirable! She still has it, but it is verrryyyyy thin and subtle, must be the black hair around it that grew in and covered it up some! The line around her isn’t totally straight, but overall her markings were pretty impressive to me!
I was using this guide to assess her markings. I think she’s a pretty great representation of a dutch! Of course, I would NEVER show her…even if I do think she is absolutely beautiful

I’m particularly drawn by Ophelia’s ears…
Ever since I started my trek to adopting, I’ve developed (blame the lady who showed me how to do it!! 
  a near-instinctive urge to give every bun I come across a nice long gentle ear rub, and Ophelia has PERFECT ears!
