What breed is my new addition?

[maddogdodge]

Unexpectedly acquired a new rabbit today She's a rescue who needed somewhere to go, I just happened to have a suitable place for her. So I know nothing of her history.

I'm assuming she's some kind of drawf breed, she's absolutely tiny.... her entire body is the size of my flemish giants head, haha!

She's completely white with striking blue eyes

What a cutie! I could be wrong, but she looks like a Polish rabbit to me. Like that one, see:

[Blue eyes]

Beautiful bunny! I love those blue eyes!
We had an all white bunny with blue eyes... my username was named for him.

You got some great photos showing the blue color. I had a hard time getting the color to show on photos.

Thanks, she does look like that Polish!

I'm now tossing up whether she's a Polish or a Netherland Dwarf I know Netherland Dwarfs are common where I live, not sure about Polish though.

Her eyes are mesmerising! Such a vibrant blue! My whole life I've wanted a pet with blue eyes

What a pretty rabbit. Does it appear to be deaf? I know cats and dogs that are white and blue eyed seem to usually be deaf.

And it is a great photo capturing the blue eyes.

It does look like a Polish, based on the head type. BEW rabbits aren't any more deaf than other rabbit varieties so I don't think you have to worry about that.

cute!

I would say blue eyed white or BEW polish as well. As far as how popular or common they are it totally depends on your area. Polish are very great pets and are known to be great for kids. Netherland dwarfs really have much bulkier heads and if your baby is a dwarf then it is a VERY poorly bred one.

Yeah her ears are too big and her head doesn't have the round head which normally comes with dwarfism. See the difference? That's a Nethie:

And it's true Polish are known to have a better temperament than Nethies, which are the little meanies of the rabbits' world (I've only had Nethies though... I like my rabbits feral XD). Of course she could be a mix though...

 

[maddogdodge]

Thanks all Sounds like you all agree that she is a Polish. I'm happy about that as I have heard of Nethies being a bit grumpy, haha!

I generally prefer larger breed rabbits. My other two are Flemish Giant X Californian. So this little one is totally different from what I'm used to.

She's very scared of me still, but seems like she will get used to me with time. She was abandoned in a cardboard box by someone.
