Not sure if the picture is good enough to tell, but I was told she's a lionhead but she doesn't look like a lot of the lionhead rabbits. I searched online and found her coloring - I think it's "grey point" or "Himilayan" - all white with gray ears, nose, tail & feet - would that be right? But she just has a lot of fluffy fur - her head isn't nice & short like the lionheads, it's long all over. Her butt is really fluffy and has an extra inch of fluff at the end where you can barely see her tail - it's like an extra butt!

She has long hair all over and it's very thick around her face - so much so that when I pet her, I can barely feel her bones. I was wondering if she's an angora - although she doesn't have fur on the tips of her ears but she has lots at the base of her kitty ears.

I read about double and single mane lionheads - but I honestly couldn't tell one way or the other. I'm not into breeding her or anything like that but I'd like to know what kind she is - Will this be pretty much what she'll look like later when she's older only bigger? Or will she get a "mane"?

Also, I was told she'd be about 4 pounds - what does a 4 pound rabbit look like - is that big? And is this true of lionhead (or whatever this type of rabbit is?)

Here she's about 12 weeks old

Thank you for your help

 
I've moved this to the Rabbitry.

Have you posted a picture? I honestly can't make out your dp lol. Can't even see her ears :p

Posting a picture would probably get you better replies :)

She looks like a teddy Lionhead. 4 lbs. isn't a large rabbit (although larger than the tiny dwarf breeds).
