There must have been a time that all Dutch rabbits were black and white (before the dilute genes popped up etc).......so this kinda got me thinking. The thrianta clearly has a type and anyone should be able to pick it out from a silhouette. It's still a breed in its infancy but what will happen when the first albino pops up will it still be a thrianta?

It would be a White Thrianta and if bred to a Thrianta, may throw reds and possibly white if the buck is carrying the white gene.

Each breed is known for different characteristics. The netherland dwarf comes in loads of colours, but the thing that singles out the nethie is the small type. With Thriantas it's the colour, I doubt other colours would be accepted. If an albino popped up, it would just be an albino. In the netherlands the Hulstlander and Thrianta share a breed club. Both breeds are known for their stunning colours (BEW and Thrianta red/orange), but the rest of them are quite similar

NO
THE distinctive characteristic is the color
the history is that the breed was made for the color
If a REW pops up from a cc, (which might make one wonder about the purity) then it would be a DQ

Rabbit breeds are pretty much entirely based on phenotype. We don't have long-standing closed stud-books or lineages that can be carefully traced for generations. All we have, for the most part, is what it LOOKS like.
It's only a Thrianta if it looks like a Thrianta, IMO. A white "Thrianta" would be a Hulstlander, or however you spell it if it had blue yes, or just a mutt if it's REW, or possibly a very poor example of a Florida White.
