I'll Ask The Question: "What Breed Is My Bunny?"

[chickensheeprabbit]

Hey there, I'm new to the board and relatively new to raising a rabbit. I am a4-H andFFA member whos been raising sheep and poultryfor 2 years, and I got a rabbit about a month ago.Problem is, I can't figure out what breed she is or if she's mixed. Pictures:

So, can anyone help me on what breed she is? Thanks! Abby

Do you know the age (or a good estimation) and the weight? That does help a lot. It can be hard to tell some breeds and knowing the weight and age does help rule in or out some breed.

She's about 5-6 years old and weighs about 4 pounds. Hope this helps.

Oh much smaller than I originally thought. Definitely a girl? Very blocky head... Color looks like a smutty fawn to me (anyone think it might be a non-lilac lynx?)

I'd guess it's probably a crossbreed, since most breeds that small have very distinct features (lop ears, wool or rex or satin fur). About the most indistinct breed of that size is polish, which are actually a little smaller than her (and she's probably a little underweight, but it's hard to tell in a pic with a blown coat). Thrianta cross is possible (definitely not a deep enough red to be purebred, but the body type and ears look right).

She is more than likely just a dwarf mix. I had a rabbit that looked about the same and she was a Netherland Dwarf mix. It is unlikely she is purebred unless you got her from a show breeder and got papers with her
