RABBITS: Question about my Tort Lionhead Jr Doe's color?

I raise Lionheads and Netherlands, focusing on Tortoise - Black Lionheads. My Jr doe has dark rings around her eyes, almost like a hotot's. None of my other Torts have the dark rings, she just recently developed them, and I am curious why she has them. She carries orange, broken orange, tort, pointed white - chocolate, sable point, and himilayan.

Any help is much appreciated. I can not provide current pictures, sorry.

    Hi, I raise Jersey Woolies, I haven't had a tort in a long time but I don't remember there being a black ring around the eye (sounds like a DQ to me). Unless the bunny is young and is going through it's first molt, sometimes they will start to molt out the head first and the colors always look darker after they get their adult coat. Hard to say without seeing the pedigree, but it doesn't seem that you are breeding any wrong colors. When I breed my woolies I try to only breed Pointeds to Pointeds-(the chocolate point may make some weird colors).
