Is she a German lop? We think Leo is a German lop, he's 2.9kg but fairly skinny. Not unhealthy though
I'm 70% sure she's a German lop. When I got her it couldn't be guaranteed. That's worrying as the vet said she's 1.8somethingkg

Leo's a 'big' rabbit, he's 6 now. Eats hay like a horse and his pellets are wolfed down. Unless she starts losing weight drastically I don't think there's anything to worry about!
Leo went down from 3.1kg in the past year, but he was overweight when we got him. I don't actually know what weight he should be but it just stays around 2.7 - 2.9kg

Yes it is. See I thought that but then was told otherwise by other people. Would you mind if you show you a few more photos and see what you think please?

Thank you. Here she is:

Might be a cross?
I'm thinking cross, she also has quite long fur so I think she has some long haired bun in there some where too!

We have sables the Grey equivalent of your Pippin, 4 of them, an opal and a magpie, they do vary massively, we have 2 that have the same parents, but a year apart, and one weighs 3kgs the other 2.2kgs and another who weighs 3.4kgs
Molly, who just came back to us with her brother after her adopties MS worsened suddenly, is almost identical to your girl apart from colour

These images are interesting, I always thought that dwarf lips had flat faces like German lops but were generally smaller....
I've always thought Harvey was a dwarf lop because of his flattish face, maybe he has some German in him, he's currently 2.35kg, but tends to fluctuate between 2.3 and 2.5, once being at a chubby 2.8! He could be either or both tbh!!!
