What breed are these rabbits?

[ASKidwai]

I am enclosing a link which will lead to a site where the pictures are.

The link is http://www.orkut.co.in/Main#AlbumZoom?gwt=1&uid=14508619074578519353&aid=1267318659&pid=1267343860580

I thank you all for helping me out.

can't get through the link...is there anyway you can post just the pictures

 

[ASKidwai]

No, so sorry, but Photobucket will just not sign me up

I signed up to the account, but can't find the photos anywhere. Screen shot (below) is all I see. Do you have a direct link to the photos?

 

[mistyjr]

you can upload them on www.tinypic.com

 

[ASKidwai]

These are some links that will hopefully work

I will upload other later

I think that you'll have to ask around locally for the name of the strain, since they don't resemble any breeds we have here or in the UK. They appear to be a mix of Dutch and a breed of spotted rabbit.

People here in Aligarh only know that rabbits come in one breed that is rabbit.
i myself thought that they looked like Britannia Petite.

They are a lot larger than they look

 

[pamnock]

Britannia Petites are very tiny.

If the rabbits pictured are very large, they may be a local cross bred for meat production. We don't have a name for them here.

Meat Production!
The only meats here are chicken and mutton.

So, i suppose i'll classify them as mutts or common's.

Thanks for all your help.
And Pam, are you still on orkut?

They sure are neat, Abdul! Lovely colours!

Maybe you can take more pictures of rabbits in your area... Do they all have the same coat patterns?

 

[ASKidwai]

Nah, they are usually diferrent... the most common are red-eyed albinos..
