Selection for an eye band does not reveal the whole genome

Hotot Rabbit Breeders International's account describes generations of selection among differently marked rabbits. It gives readers a history of choosing phenotypes rather than a solved molecular account of every animal. A narrow eye band is observable, whereas a genotype needs evidence appropriate to that claim. Do not extrapolate disease findings from another marked breed simply because both have white areas. Similar appearances can raise a research question, but resemblance is not a clinical diagnosis. This distinction lets the library teach selection honestly while leaving room for future breed-specific research.
