What breed am I?

 

[rebeccalyn7]

I am pepper

 

[rebeccalyn7]

At first I got told I was a dwarf but then I kept getting bigger? So now I don't know what I am?

OMG, our rabbits look like they could be cousins. I just got them a week and a half ago. See my thread "More info on dwarf mixed."

Looks like a "mix", so hard to say what all is in the gene pool--very cute though.

Yes, I was told my rabbits, Fred and Smokey, are a dwarf mix. Only time will tell if that is true. They are just about 4 months old now so still growing. Your rabbit Pepper has the same Siamese sable coloring as mine do. Pepper's head is shaped differently though.

Can you provide direct Side view photos that are level with her. As well as an age and weight.

 

[rebeccalyn7]

1 year old & 3 kilos
No idea what breed she is...
Hope this picture helps

I think Julie would have the best answers here.

Heres my guess
She looks like some type of Holland or Mini Lop with a mix, but if shes got Holland in her, she didn't get that dwarf gene.

 

[rebeccalyn7]

I'm confused lol. Is there a website I can compare her too?

If I converted correctly that 6 lbs 9 ozs, so definitely no dwarf there! I'd guess a mini lop mixed with something else.

 

[whitelop]

I think she's a mini lop. If she's at 6 lbs, then she's in the weight range for a mini. She just has a helicopter ear! She's beautiful too!

OR because you're in Australia they call them DWARF lops! In the UK a Dwarf Lop is equivalent to a US Mini Lop. A UK Miniature Lop is equivalent to a US Holland Lop.

Maybe that's why in Australia they're called "dwarf" rabbits. None of what I typed made sense! Do you guys get what I'm saying? Even though we all speak English there is a Lop rabbit language barrier.
OMG did I just solve the mystery?!

PS I know that the UK and Australia are different places, but a lot of the language is the same. So that would lead me to believe that they call the rabbits the same names as they do in the UK.

I believe its the holland lop that gets called dwarf lop in other countries.
At least up here it is.

 

[whitelop]

When I googled Mini Lop, it came up with; UK dwarf = US mini. UK miniature = US holland. Even though the Holland is the only actual dwarf lop, The British Rabbit Council named the "Holland" the "Miniature".
Thats how I read it at least.

 

[Watermelons]

Countries need to learn to call stuff the same. Or at least spell the same (Colour) not that I can spell in the first place....
I was under the impression that the Holland was called dwarf everywhere because its the one that carries the dwarf gene. Where you can get Peanuts, regulars, and dwarfs.

I honestly cant tell the 2 apart yet anyway haha. Head shape, ear size, etc Nope not yet.

Well shes a Lop of some sort, either pure with a not so perfect conformation or a mix.

 

[RabbitGirl101]

I raised Holland lops and she definitely isn't a Holland but she looks like a mini lop to me! ( This is what the breed is called with ARBA) 3 kilos=6.6 pounds here so she definatly can't be a Holland, but my first guess that came to me was Mini Lop (ARBA) or French Lop (ARBA) but I think she is too small for a French lop.

 

[RabbitGirl101]

Yep, they are called different names in different countries, it does get quite confusing sometimes!

 

[RabbitGirl101]

Wait she definitely isn't a french lop(I just researched the weight range) I would say mini lop(thats the name the USA calls them)

That actually sounds about right!
