What breed is Fluff bun?

[PepnFluff]

This is fluffbun when I got him the lady said he was a purebreed satin rex. I've been told by others that hes a dwarf aswell hes currently weighing 1.5kg so around 3lbs i think but hes underweight as hes recently beenill he used to weigh round 2-2.2kgs so doesanyone know what hebreedhis is?

Well, there's no such thing as a "satin rex." There are Satins, and Rexes, but they are both fur types/textures and are very different from each other.

He looks like a Netherland Dwarf mix to me.

Yeah, that's not a rex at all. They have fur that's like velvet - all the ends stand up even - they don't have guard hairs.

Anyhow, I would agree on the dwarf mix. Does his fur get longer someplace? it looks as if he might have some lionhead mane around his neck?

 

[PepnFluff]

Its pretty even all over, his fur looks pretty scruched up there though its really fluffy between his ears but every bun i've seen has this.

Rex fur is even like...... it stands up and the tips all are up. When you know what it is, it's very easy to tell if it is or isn't - definitely not rex fur.

This is a good picture of rex fur. It's SO soft. I have a palomino and a cottontail and a mini-rex.

When pamnock gets on sometime, she'll be able to give you a better idea of the mix probably, she's like a walking encycolpedia with details of each breed.

I'd guess nethie cross with something else tiny.

Definately not rex fur.

I would agree - He really looks like a dwarf mix to me! =]

His fur extremly soft and silky, great to snuggle up in when I saw pics on here of Rex's I was wondering what he wasso I thought I might ask.

I've seen a lot of Satin Rex crosses in the US (whichbecame more common with the introduction of the Mini Satin here in the US where Mini Rex are being used to introduce a wider range of colors to the Mini Satin). Coat structure can vary widely due to the presence of the 2 different coat modifying genes.


There are also Opossum Rex, a cross of the Angora x Rex, which have a longer coat.

yup i was also told that my Snoopy was a satin rex mix. his fur is also very soft and silky.

 

[Bo B Bunny]

I was wondering if they weren't using the mini-rex to establish another small breed line or something! very cool!

Rex fur is very soft, other breeds are soft too - just different in that they have guard hairs.

Fluff bun looks adorable btw. Is he a sweetie?

 

[PepnFluff]

Yea I really am not to sure know quite confusing lol. Yes he is a real sweetie hes addicted to kissing lol you'll pick him up and he wont stop kissing you tehehe hes my little baby.

Definitly not part lionhead as there are no lionhead rabbits in New Zealand (such a pitty that). I would guess its probably a rex crossed with a satin, the firt cross would most likely not produce a rabbit with a rex coat. I once had what I believed to be a mini rex/ND cross, his coat had an almost rex look but you could clearly see it wasn't. He was a graet bun.

Oh, you're kidding! Who's the brilliant one who decided to cross an Angora w/a Rex? ROFLMAO! C'mon! Plush, velvety fur combined with WOOOOOOOL is NOT going to give you plush wool. It just doesn't work like that. I can see some people getting creative and I do understand that that's how new breeds are made is by mixing breeds to begin with, I understand that, but why would anyone do THAT combo? Just doesn't make sense to me.
