is his ears to long to be a dwarf he's 2 or 3 year's old 3 pounds

Looks like a dwarf to me. Not all dwarfs have the teeny tiny ears, sometimes you will get some with a bit longer. But his body type, ear shape, and ear size definitely suggest Dwarf.

ok i thought they had tiny ears thank you

They do have tiny ears, but sometimes you'll get a "false dwarf", which is just a dwarf that doesn't get the dwarfing gene. So they are a little larger with longer ears. I think your bunny looks very much like a dwarf. Even though his ears aren't teeny tiny, they are very small and dwarfy in relation to his body size.

not sure, but your Peter could be a twin of our Nikki. Looks exactly the same. Her mother was a mini with some dwarf bread to another white mini.

awww, so cute:inlove:! he looks like a netherland dwarf, just with ears that are a bit longer

He actually does look like a purebred REW Netherland Dwarf!
Very handsome boy! Specially since he's 3 lbs, I would say he's purebred. He looks it, and his ears don't look to long for a ND. You should measure them from base to tip and see how long they are.

Maximumear length for ND's are like 2 1/2 inches I think? At least in the U.S. anyway. You'd have to look up breed standards for Dwarf's over in your country. I would check in my Standard to see the exact on the length here, but my sister has it and I don't know exactly where
