What makes a lionhead rabbit

asking for a friend as she is too embarrassed to ask:lol: :lol: what breed of rabbits are bred to produce a lionhead?

I dont know what origionally went into them to produce the breed on the first place, but Lionheads are a breed in their own right so you breed Lionheads to get Lionheads! :wave: :lol: I dont understand the question too well!

I know of someone who breeds netherland dwarves into lionheads to make them smaller :?

what makes a lionhead

Hi denny:wave: I know a breeder who used to cross dwarf bunnies with cashmeres to get lionheads:shock: sometimes they would turn out without manes so just looked like small bunnies later she bred some lionheads lops by using a cahsmere lop buck (who i now have) so i guess you could say that orginally lots of different breeds were used to get the standard set by BRC now
The lionhead is a fairly new breed & was only reconised by the BRC about 5 years ago (could be wrong on that one) as i remember there was a huge argument as to wether they would have "skirts" (long hair around their bodies) or not
