Smudge is a Dutch!?

[Graeme27Uk]

Well I think the P@H store person mis-identified Smudge... I'm sure she is a Dutch and not a Nethie....

Anyone better at identifying breeds?

[LionheadLuver]

Could we have a piccie of Smudge please?

[tigerbabe]

there are pics here http://forums.rabbitrehome.org.uk/showthread.php?p=2220145#post2220145 I'm not great at varieties of any animal but I think I can safely say smudge is not a dutch :)

[Graeme27Uk]

She's the black one... she's camera shy so trying to get piccies is a challenge.

Not a dutch, no... Barney, the brown and white bunny in my siggy picture is a Dutch rabbit.

[Graeme27Uk]

And yes... she has a bit of her ear missing... don't ask how. We came home one day and there was a circular mark on her ear... rushed to vets but they said everything was ok and she just must have done something....who knows what!

Then few weeks later it fell out....

She seems fine with it though. I think she wanted to be a deviant bunny and its her equivalent of a piercing or tattoo.

[LionheadLuver]

I think she's just a black bunny.

[Graeme27Uk]

I guess she could be a dutch/nethie cross.

She just doesn't seem to have the right head for a nethie.

[Woodlouse]

No, not a Dutch. Maybe a nethie cross?

[Graeme27Uk]

Not that it matters cos she is lovely cuddly mischevious bunny and makes no difference... I'm just curious... that and having smoe idea of what breed she is gives me an idea of how big she might get. Having said that she doesn't show much signs of getting any bigger... still 1.6kg.

P@H said I was a dwarf lop although mum suspects that this was Dad's error and he didn't even ask them what I was :lol:, Charlie

But Mum said my head isn't the right shape to be a lop either, what do you think, this is my side profile, I'm a bit of a poser

To be honest P@H can't even sex rabbits correctly in most branches so the chances of them identifying a breed are rubbish too! Horrible place!

[donnamt]

i think your ears look better up.. your mommy is right your toooooooo gorgeous to be a typical lop :)

[*lily*]

She looks a lot like my Nethie but with bigger ears so I would think a Nethie cross.

[DDD]

My friend got a 'mini lop' from P@H, in fact he is a rather large lionhead!!

[Deelove]

I think most p@h rabbits are cross breeds. When I last went in one they identified the breeds as English/dutch and lop crosses.

Bit of a sweeping generalisation there.

In my store we're rather good at sexing rabbits and identifying the breeds :)

[ecudc]

she's probably a nethie cross I'm fostering sid who is 1.5kg but had the definate nethie face, fur and ears.

I got my first bunny sooty from pets at home. He is a dwarf lop but I suspect a bit of a cross breed because his face is more like an uppy bunny. I've noticed that many of the buns that pass through my local have a similar face shape. However given that the flattened face is partly what causes teeth problems in dwarf lops I would have thought this was a good thing.

Def not a dutch - Bluebell as shown in my avatar is a dutch. He was a she according to pets at home! Mind you my vet got it wrong also :shock: Just bought him a girlfriend now he's been neutered. Lets hope she really is a she this time!

[cute_fuzzies]

I would say a Nethie cross :)

I can remember when we got a rabbit from P@H. Apparently a dwarf lop and 8 weeks old. He grew far too big to be a dwarf lop, and he was far bigger when we got him than my little lady we have now who is an 8 week old rex, and she'll end up bigger than he was once's she's fully grown.
I even asked how old a rabbit was they had the other day. Standard 8 weeks old response and apparently a dutch, the rabbit had been there since before Christmas and didn't have dutch markings, so they don't seem too keyed up on their stock.
