Hi there, I was hoping someone could help me. I was told by the salesperson at a petshop that these were Netherland Dwarfs. Are they Netherland Dwarfs or a mix? If so what kind of mix? They're both male and full grown.
I thought they looked different from normal Netherland Dwarfs in that they were slightly larger, their ears are longer, and the head shape seemed slightly different.
I'm aware that:
"Most of the rabbits sold as dwarves in pet stores are not true dwarfs, but crosses between a dwarf and a standard rabbit. These "mongrels" are hardier, but grow to a larger size and lack the characteristic small head and low carriage of the true dwarf."
I'm thinking if it was a mix it would be a Netherland Dwarf/Dutch since it's from the pet store so it probably wouldn't have rare breeds and it's the only combination that seems to fit from this list.

Also I have allergies and was wondering if a Netherland Dwarf/Mini-Rex mix could produce a similar looking rabbit. Or if a mini-rex runt could reproduce something similar.
Thank you
