New Baby Bunny! Can Anyone Tell Me the Breed? Help Please :)

[AprilShowerThumps]

This is Scrunt (at least that's what we're calling him now). Trying to figure out what breed he is. Anyone have any insights?

Click this link for a short little video of him.

It depends on his age & size, but I'd guess part Dutch.

 

[I_heart_Fraggles]

His ears are awfully big and so are his back feet..... I'd go with something bigger then a dutch.

 

[AprilShowerThumps]

We were thinking that some of his markings resemble a Silver Marten.. so maybe part that and something else.. does that sound right?

 

[pamnock]

Hi type and markings resemble a Tan rabbit mix (I couldn't tell from the video if his markings were otter or silver marten, but same gene pattern). Possibly Dutch or Blue eyed white mismark. There's not really a Dutch rabbit type influence that I can see from watching the video.

i would have guess some dutch to. Soup half dutch and scrunt has a lot of the same facial traits.

i have no idea, but he sure is a handsome guy...congrats

 

[AprilShowerThumps]

Well, actually half of his right eye is blue (bottom half, while the top is brown)..

Looks just like our Spike--he's part Dutch and part Black Otter and his eyes are both brown and blue too.

 

[AprilShowerThumps]

Ooh, awesome. Thanks everybody for all the help so far. Nancy, do you have any pictures of Spike uploaded anywhere?

THAT IS A Vienna Marked TAN!! Where did you get him?!

For comparison the rabbit in my avatar is a Tan rabbit and here is a video of my babies

You know I wanted to say tan too..... But I could not bring myself to do it lol.

 

[AprilShowerThumps]

Oh wow, yes, he looks just like them. So what does it mean that he's Vienna marked? Are the white blotches on his head and leg just a color pattern, or is he mixed with something else do you think?

We adopted him from the local pet shelter. They didn't know anything about what breed he was.

 

[woahlookitsme]

Vienna Marked means that most likely his mother or father are a Blue Eyed White Rabbit and a Tan Rabbit. The Blue eyed White parent is also the reason his red under color isn't as dark fiery red.

The black and tan is a Tans color (just called a black tan) and the White with partially blue eyes is the Vienna gene.

 

[woahlookitsme]

double post.

He is gorgeous though!

Lol Katie I saw you leaning towards it go with your gut

 

[Nancy McClelland]

We have a bunch of pictures on our profile and I'm sure he's there as it's the same as my screen saver.

 

[I_heart_Fraggles]

I just could not bring myself to admit it.....lol
Actually though this one is rather cool looking.

 

[AprilShowerThumps]

Well thank you so much. You all were super helpful

 

[I_heart_Fraggles]

Should we tell her about "tan mischief"????

 

[AprilShowerThumps]

Mischief, ehhh? Well, my mini-rex rebbit gets into all kinds of things, so I'm pretty on my toes.. however Scrunt has been doing a lot more climbing and carpet digging than I'm used to.
