Bunny breed

[Alexiaknowles]

Hi there everyone. I was wondering if someone could help me figure out if my bunny is a dwarf or not and also his breed. He's currently 3/4 months

Hi there
Perhaps you can share some more information with us like a current weight.
Have a read through this thread.

Sure. He's about a pound right now. 4 months old.

very cute!!

Some Californian in the gene pool, but don't see anything that looks like a dwarf--different shape of head and very short ears.

Thank you! Also do you know if 1 pound is the ideal weight for a 3 month old rabbit?

It can't be pure Californian. A 3 month old Cal would be closer to 5 pounds. There are some smaller breeds who have the Cal markings as one of their varieties, so it might be one of those or a mixed breed with Cal in the mix.

he's vienna marked, pointed something... if three months old and only a pound, probably a dwarf/dwarf mix.

 

[BlackMiniRex]

so maybe dwarf/Californian mix?

 

[Watermelons]

Id doubt theres any californian.
Just like not all broken pattern rabbits are english spots or checkered giants. Not all pointed rabbits are calis. Your rabbit has a VERY different body shape from a cali.

For the body style it still might have some Cal or possibly Himalayan mixed in with something else. Nethies have a 'cal' or pointed variety but this doesn't look like one. As the rabbit gets older you'll be able to tell better, but it's definitely a mix.

What does vienna marked mean?
