Magpie Harlequin (no rufus)
Magpie- Black or Chocolate patches against white. The pattern and color amount can vary wildly from a
rabbit that’s mostly white with a few sparse markings to a rabbit that’s mostly color with only a few
sparse white hairs, eyes are brown or grey marbled black based and brown or grey marbled with slight
ruby glow for chocolate based. Magpie pattern is on the E allele and is recessive to Full extension but
dominate to non extension.
Genotype for Black based magpie is A-B-cchd-D-ej-, at-B-cchd-D-ej-, or aa-B-cchd-D-ej-
Genotype for Chocolate Based magpie is A-bbcchd-D-ej-, at-bbC-cchd-ej-, aabbcchd-D-ej- (the Martin and self based
need to be ejej on the E allele to present good clean magpie color, other wise pearl markings can appear
and muddy the color) since pattern/color can vary so much the kits can also vary in color and pattern
when born.
Dilute Magpie - Blue or Lilac patches against white background. The pattern and color amount can vary
wildly from a rabbit that’s mostly white with a few sparse markings to a rabbit that’s mostly color with
only a few sparse white hairs, eyes are blue grey or marbled for blue based and lilac grey or marbled
with slight ruby glow for lilac based. magpie pattern is on the E allele and is recessive to Full extension
but dominate to non extension.
Genotype for blue based magpie is A-B-cchd-ddej-, at-B-cchd-ddej-, or aa-B-cchd-ddej-
Genotype for Lilac Based Magpie is A-bbcchd-ddej-, at-bbcchd-ddej-, aabbcchd-ddej- (the martin and self based
need to be ejej on the E allele to present good clean magpie color, other wise pearl markings can appear
and muddy the color). Since color/ pattern can vary widely so can kit coloring/marking.
*Something to note about a harlequin is while recessive to full extension, if a full extension or a steel
carries harlequin you can still see the harlequin effects in the coat.
There are two kinds of harlequins, the above are the Magpie Harlequin. The other type is called a Japanese Harlequin. Some people tend to think that Harlequin or Harli is only in the rufus shades. However, I wanted to clarify that the Japanese harlequin is the "calico" style look and comes in two different shades. Japanese contains rufus, Magpie does not because the chinchilla gene does not allow rufus and it is replaced with white.
