i have been raising mini lops for a little while now.for you to have the best chance at getting a black and white(they are called broken black) you would want to find a doe the is a broken black and has a lot of broken blacks in her blood lines.breeding him to a broken black doe does not mean she is going to have broken black babies they are a lot of different colors that she could throw.try going to http://www.hometown.aol.com/ilm1989/lhhrlopcolorguide2.html
the first rabbit on this page is a broken black.it also has most of the colors that mini lops come in.i hope this helps you

DO NOT breed your rabbits, please! After cats and dogs, rabbits are the most common animal surrendered to shelters and humane societies. There are more rabbits than there are homes for them, and it is very selfish to decide to breed rabbits just because you think the babies will be cute. You obviously do not know much about rabbit genetics, and likely not much about breeding in general. I really do not want to sound mean, but you're playing with living things here, not toys. Rabbits live several years and finding homes for them all may be difficult. The mother needs extra care during pregnancy and rearing the young, are you sure you can handle that? What about all of the babies? Do you know how many she could have in one litter alone? What do you plan on doing with the babies?
Make sure that breeding is actually something you're ready for, but also think of all the animals in shelters, and the pet stores that have plenty of them. If you want a black and white rabbit, you're more than likely to eventually find one at a shelter or store

We have enough unwanted and stray animals in our world, why would you want to add more? Have your pet spayed or neutered. It's a selfish attitude to want to breed for fun or money.
