I think they are a beautiful rabbit and would like to possibly have one or two as a pet. Would like to learn about themfrom people that own them. Any suggestions or opinions?
Harlequins?

I absolutely adore my harlis 
but I don't have much experience with the breed yet.
Just one pair of mis-marked adults, and one litter of 9 kits. Every single one would DQ at show.
:lol: They are considered exceptionally hard to work with in that regard, and may possibly produce more unshowable offspring than any other breed. I wouldn't get into them if you did not have a use for all the inevitable incorrectly marked kits.
Hmm..I'd say, so far they are really shining in the temperament, mothering, and easy-to-breed/easy-to-work-with areas. (9 is a good litter size for a 7.5 lb doe too.)
They have been trailing behind the meat mutts in growth rates.
I'm a LONG way for show stock, but so far I'm pleased enough with the ones I have that I'm switching my rabbitry over to just this breed.
I really love the random factor(and the challenge) and I also really enjoy how friendly they all are.

If you just want pets and like the colour then there are plenty of harlequins in the pet breeds, usually by products of a Tri-colour program

I saw the pics of yours ZASS and loved them. I have no immediate plans to show rabbits and my rabbitry is based solely on Cali's at this point. With that being said they would purely be pets. I have been checking online the past few days and the closest I can find in my area is about 4 hrs away. I will probably wait a bit and research the breed some more but I am definitely intrigued with this breed.
