Breed? New bun!

Hi everyone! What breed would you say this is? I was told it is 12 weeks, weighs about 1lb 9oz.

 

[SableSteel]

It's a mixed breed.

Cute and mixed breed.

Thanks for the replies! Would you say maybe a netherland dwarf / dutch?

@SableSteel is our resident breed identifier but from the photos, I don't see any dutch markings and the ears/head shape don't appear to be like a netherland dwarf.

Netherland dwarf


Dutch

I saw one that was marked exactly like that dutch rabbit photo in the litter, but mine def has 0 dutch markings.

If only one of the kits had it, it was likely because of the vienna gene, not the dutch gene. Vienna is found in most small pet breeds; dutch is only found in dutch (well, and dwarf hotot and blanc de hotot but you dont see those very often). To get that much white from the dutch you need generations of selective breeding (usually you just get a little snip or a white foot). While the vienna gene is much stronger and more variable; it makes patterns like that all the time and only needs to come from one parent (if both parents contribute the vienna gene, the rabbit is solid white with blue eyes). Some of the breeds that vienna markings can come from include Netherland dwarf, polish (uncommon), Holland Lop, Lionhead and Mini Rex

While I doubt she has very much netherland dwarf in her (as her ears are much too large for a dwarf; one of the identifying features of the breed are their tiny ears) she might be a mix including any or all of those breeds.
