I'm fairly new to breeding broken patterns in Holland Lops. I thought this baby was a broken black from birth, but as he gets older (currently 10 weeks old), more and more white hairs are showing across his body - not just where the colors meet!

My question is, is this normal with broken patterns, or is he genetically something different? I owned a broken black Holland Lop as a pet many years ago, and never saw anything like this throughout her years.
 
You see it sometimes in broken rabbits. It is a DQ in shows ("excessive scattered white hairs in a broken pattern") so most breeders try to avoid it.
