What kind of bunny is my gerti?

[Linsoid]

I love my gerti, and i was told that she was a lionhead bunny. However, most lionheads that i have seen are much more compact in shape than my baby. Does anyone know what she may be? Im assuming a lionhead mix...

This was her as a baby

She does look larger than most lionheads that I have seen. I would guess some kind of mix, but someone else might have a better idea?

She is probably just a large Lionhead
She certainly is cute though!

i agree with AmyBunny. Defiently some sort of lion head mix. In the picture with the book, she is def the cutest rabbit i have ever seen with that black face and long silky hair.

I think she's cuter then any pure lion head!

A popular mix with Lionheads are Holland Lops, so that may be it. I have seen many holland lops with her type, people just breeds for pets/money and they end up with a racey looking holland. Not all rabbits who are purebred look like the breed standard so just because she does not have a big square head and short ears does not mean she is not a holland mix.

I do agree she is probably not purebred, my guess is she has lop mixed in with her. The ears just give it away, in my opinion.

ooo she gorgeous really unique,very pretty bun

I call her awkwardly beautiful

Its amusing.. I didnt know that holland lops and lionheads were commonly bred together. We had a male (That we were told was neutered and turned out not to be) and they had two litters together. The babies were absolutely adorable!

I am by no means and expert, but she looks like a Lionhead and a Jersey Wooley mix. My first thought was that she looks very much like my foster-bun Katie who was a JW, but then I saw that beautiful mane indicating some Lionhead. Very pretty bunny...

Just my two cents....

I think that she is a lionhead mix. She is really cute though

 

[Linsoid]

aww thank you all so much!

 

[OakRidgeRabbits]

She's definitely a Lionhead mix, based on the shape of the face and body as well as the large ears.

I'd say NOT a LH/HL mix though. That wouldn't change the body structure that much.

 

[Linsoid]

I always laughingly compare her to a hare vs. a rabbit... shes so long and large

My two buns are a mini-rex lionhead mix, and they are a lot more compact than your bun - but when they flop they're long buns! I don't know what to say to you, except your bunny is the cuuuutest.

i was going to say majority lion head with probably satin or mini rex for the pointier face and the longer ears and body
