My two pennies on the second one.... It looks verrrry small... Enlish Spots are big. A weight on that one would be helpful. To me, upon first glance, it looks like maybe a Polish or mini Rex mix. It doesn't have the rex fur, so not a purebred since that fur type is recessive. The large eyes and shorter/high set ears are what make me think Polish or maybe some B. Petite in there. Not sure what patterns broken polish can come in, but mini rex can have that very spotty pattern. A lot of breeds can, doesn't mean it is to standard, but they can still have it. We had some purebred satins that were a similar spot pattern.
I think DKRabbitry is more on target with the Polish than English Spot, which I first suggested. English Spots are bigger so the weight would be helpful. But looking at my book "Rabbits for Dummies" I found a picture of a Polish that has the same color pattern. Polish comes in five color varieties: Blue, Black, Chocolate, Blue-eyed White and Ruby-eyed white. :)
I agree she has a Polish look. As I mentioned earlier, English Spot is doubtful. That color pattern is found in many breeds. 3.5 lbs is Mini Rex size. I think she's some kind of a small breed mix. :)

Yep, that is what I was thinking....young broken black Polish for the second one...

The second one looks like a polish to me.
The first is a Dutch for sure.
I would love to see the stomach view and picters of the leg markings.
