I agree with Amy here. I don't see mini rex there. Maybe some Netherland Dwarf.

Too cute!!! Looks exactly like a Polish!

It's not an English Spot (too small)-- pretty certain it'snot a mini rex (fur appears normal -- not rexed and not mini rex typeunless it was mixed with dwarf).

Possible it's a broken Netherland -- some people did use Polish tobring the broken pattern into the gene pool, so a Polish x Netherlandmix would be a possibility. I could tell for certain if Icould touch the fur The length of body andthelower head mount indicate a Polish. Polish alsooften have a lightly spotted broken pattern -- but do have a goodbutterfly on their nose.

Here's my Matthew with his Polish doe . . .

What should I ask about the fur texture? Any other information that would help identify the bun?

The rollback coat is rather soft and fluffierthan the harsher textured flyback coat of the Polish. Theflyback coat also lays smoother on the body.

They would note a lot of longer, stiffer guard hairs in the coat ascompared to the rollback coat. It's interesting to have thetwo coats side-by-side -- the rollback coat is actually a much whiterwhite.

Here's the American Polish website http://home.att.net/~polish/

(The Polish is a different breed in Europe -- so we often specify "Amercian" to avoid confusion)

This website has some good Polish photos:

I have a hard time telling size from the photosalso -- in this case theshorterears indicated a rather small rabbit.
