He is a cutie!! Definitely full dwarf with those ears, though.

I have two netherland agouti dwarf mixes... ears can be bigger or small from what I've seen from both of my guys, brother and sister.
No matter what your bunny is cute!

PS Did you get your bunny from a breeder? Did they give you that info?

It's difficult to know for sure without seeing the parents or having a pedigree in hand. He could very well be a purebred Netherland Dwarf. Show dwarfs have short, stocky bodies with big wide heads and tiny ears. However, not all rabbits that are produced fit a show standard. And there are plenty of folks out there who aren't breeding to ANY standard, so ideal type can quickly disappear.
Your rabbit's head and ear shape remind me of a Jersey Wooly. Obviously he does not have wool, but he could be a Jersey Wooly mix. Or, as I mentioned before, he may even be pure Netherland Dwarf.
It's anyone's guess.

Hi there mine have stayed pretty small. They are about 2 and a half pounds..
but you never know. Buggsie is so cute I would think it wouldn't matter if he got a bit bigger! Take him to the vets asap however and get him checked out. Some of these pet stores don't always take the best care of their bunnies, so that is the first thing I would do and do that with all my bunnies!
Good luck and keep us posted with your adventures with this cutie!

NOT definitely a dwarf.
Could be a variety of things.
1. a rabbit with health issues who stopped growing.. when that happens the ears keep going but the body slows right down.
2. could be a rather young rabbit of a bigger breed.
3. could be a mix of breeds where adult size will be undetermined. Big ears tend to indicate a rabbit who will grow somewhat larger.
Time will tell.
If you love him, does it really matter in the end?

Part lop would explain the whole big ear issue. Never trust a pet store! My two new buns the previous owners thought they were Netherland dwarfs because the told them they were dwarfs. But they both have manes and are definitely not just dwarfs. Some lop mixes have ears that are only halfway down like your buns. Once again... so adorable
