Re: what do you call these
black japanese in colouration. many breeds carry that. the size of them suggests they might have harlequin in them. Do they have normal length fur?

Re: what do you call these
Yep - they are the Japanese variety of a harlequin. They look like black japanese harlequins, from the picture. Might be blue?

Re: what do you call these
they probably get their colouration from the rex I should think...harlequin is fairly common in rexes.

Re: what do you call these
I agree with Ladysown that their harlequin coloration/brindling probably came from the Rex part of the mix, especially because the doe's ears don't look anything like my Harlies- they are shorter and wider than I am used to seeing. They should make fine meaties for you.
