Must See Ohio Bonded Pair

From Buckeye House Rabbit Society, a beautiful bonded pair needing a forever home. Check out their story. Is that a lionhead lop? I am lousy at breed ID.

Looks it, Peg might know.

It's hard to tell from the photo, but the Lion appears to be holding its ears back - not lopped. The other might also be a Lion with no mane.

The one on the right looks like a NZ. His friend is a lion lop by the looks of him.

New Zealand???? Too small, wrong color, wrong fur

The "lop" appears to be holding his ears behind him - not lopped. Either that, or he has two horns sticking out of his butt LOL

Oh ha! Maybe Kristen has some pic's I can post. The one on the left is Coconut. The name really fits the looks.

Where are his ears??? Lol. Beautiful pair though!

 

[pla725]

Okay not a NZ. I was guessing. The lop's ears are down on the side of it's head.

Scooter could be a chinchilla (breed).

Nope That rabbit bears no resemblance to the chinchilla breed.

The color appears to be a non-extension chin (frosty aka frosted pearl).

Most likely a maneless lionhead (There are single mane, double mane and no mane).

I'm pretty certain the rabbit's ears are pulled back. (That's its mane falling down the sides). Look very closely over its back for the ends of the ears sticking up.

Ohio is a hotbed for erect eared Lions - I haven't seen many Lionlops in Ohio - they are far more common in the UK.

Too funny

Wow... I feel like I'm looking at a totally different picture from you Pam. LOL. I clearly see the lionhead's ears at the side (The ear on theright side is more visibly an ear whereas the left side looks like it could be mane)and don't see ear bits sticking up at the back at all! (confused).

And the bun to the right.,.. a lionhead... really?? Its fur is so short on it's face (not the mane), but don't lionheads usually have a longer fur type in general? This buns fur looks so tight to it's body - her fur looks like Mistys. Really short. (still confused)

:biggrin2:

I definitely see erect ears on that lionhead. They are brown and hard to tell from the background but they are definitely standing up.

I think what you're seeing on the sideare pieces ofmane. The ears generally have short fur, and don't have long mane wool.

Maneless lions can often resemble Netherland Dwarfs and don't have a longer fur type in general (unless there are some wool remnants on the face/body). That color is also not unusual in Lions.

It's a Lionhead. Looking closer at the picture reveals that his ears are brown and just hard to see on the background. What you are seeing at the side of his head is chunk of mane hanging which does make it look like ears unless you take a closer look.

 

[seniorcats]

I finally see where the ears are now. I wonder if this picture is of the same bunny at a younger age?

If so, theycame from a surrender of 20 rabbits in Elyria, OH. There was a group of lionheads, lionhead/angora mixes and mini-rex.

Doesn't somebunny 'need' top adopt this adorable pair?

 

[pamnock]

I don't think it's the same rabbit.

[JAK Rabbitry]

Yeah, the butterfly looks slightly different to me. It looks like both pieces connect in the smaller pic, but the other rabbit has a 2-piece butterfly over the nose.
