I got Leon (the rabbits name) when me and my mother went down to a local flea market, but I did not get the breeders phone number and she only mentioned the breeds name once. I would like to know what kind of breed he is so I can see how big he might get our if their are any health problems that come with the breed.

Additional Info:
He has black tuffs of fur around his neck and the top part of his tail is a blackish brown while the underside is white. His fur is also a blackish brown and he is about a month and a half to two months old.

Thanks! I was researching before posting this and I thought he could have been a lionhead but I just wanted to make sure.
 
He does look like he is at least part lionhead. He probably won't have a full mane like you might see in pictures, but it can be hard to tell with babies.
Lionheads are usually around 3-4 pounds. Some are smaller and some bigger. If he is mixed, then his size can vary more depending on what else might be in him.
 
Lionhead mix is my guess. He could also be a full lionhead that does not possess the maned gene.
 
Definitely a Lionhead, but that won't tell you too much if he is from a flea market. Lionheads are still an unrecognized breed in the U.S. There are some lines that are somewhat developed and more consistent. But on the whole, they're just bred for pets. Because of that, mature size varies just like mane length. He appears to be chestnut in color.

You can find some information about the working standard here: http://www.lionhead.us
