Harlequin Dutch from United Kingdom

History of the Harlequin Dutch

An old variety

In 1887 a mismarked pair of Harlequin Dutch in Paris, France were used to establish the Harlequin breed as we know it today. The Dutch marking genes are very strong and still pop out. Harlequins are disqualified for showing any Dutch like marking pattern.

Harlequin Dutch in the US

There have been many rumors of animals across the country but the strain I have been working with has been traced back to Steven Wright in 1990 with a German import doe. In 1993 he sold a pair of littermates to Brenda Diaz at LA county fair in Pomona, CA.
