First of all, breed and color shouldn't matter too much when choosing your new pet. Try looking at personality, which bun do you get along with best? Try a rescue centre or shelter, there are thousands of bunnies in need, and I'm sure there are some close to your home 
Here are my buns if you want to see though....
Blaise is a Holland lop/Dwarf lop. I think he is a fawn colour, not sure.
Daisy is a Mini lop. White with a few gray and brown spots.
This is Oliver, he is a netherland dwarf. Black (if you cant tell :lol: )

None of my buns are 'pure'. My bunnies tend to find me, so I can give you a guess at what they are, but it really is personality and history as to why they're with me. For example, I knew Ruby had been in a rescue centre for over two years, so I jsut had to give her a home.
Squidgy - Netherland dwarf, very tiny. He weighs just over a kilo.
Bobby - he's a lop, but I'm not sure what type. He's quite large.
Ruby - Belgian Hare cross. Beautiful.
I would recommend looking on Rabbit Rehome, of on the Rabbits in Need section on here, as one of the bunnies will really stand out to you, be it their story or how they look.

Mia and Mea are Squidgy clones, Netherland dwarfs. They are two spayed one and a bit year old sisters. I found them on RabbitRehome website as well, so I second your advice HS! I have always had a soft spot for the slightly smaller buns, so they are perfect for me. But then other people have a big bunny preference and some people I know like Rexes. As HS said have a look on the RR site and see what stands out to you. I didn't rush into getting my two, it took about a month, but I knew I'd found my perfect match in Mia and Mea. They are great

Well if we're going for Squidgy lookalikes, here's Santa (and Dudley):
I agree on the personality thing, all of mine are very different personalities. If you take some time out not only to decide which bunnies you "connect" with by their looks, but also by the personalities, you will end up with a much happier match

Here are my two
They are lionhead rabbits altho not perfect as they shouldnt be so fluffy!! :roll: They have fantastic characters.. Simba is very outgoing and funny and likes to be stroked, he is the white one and weighs about 1.4kg. He needs alot of grooming to prevent him getting knotted up. Nala is the darker one and she is very shy altho still fun to watch and weighs about 1.7kg.
Id definitely agree with either looking through rabbit rehome or going to a local rescue centre and see what rabbit catches your eye.

Hi
all my bunnies are from rescues and apart from Aggie (ginger bunny) they are all just cross breeds.
Here is Twinkle - she hates other bunnies but is very snuggly and loves being carried about like a baby She is also a BIb and would like to remind everyone that little lopppy buns with grumpy faces make the best agents :wink:
This lot are Blubelle (black and white), Mash (black bun) and Aggie (ginger bunny). Bluebelle is quite shy and is a cross - Mash is almost 9 years old and is a cheeky monkey - he loves adventures and will climb anything and everything and Aggie is the only pedigree bun - she is a german lop and was a show bunny that was dumped. She loves other bunnies
All my bunnies have totally different characters and I got each of them cause they needed a new home. I can honestly say that their looks etc never came into it. Aggie and MAsh had been in rescue for ages (mash for 3 and a half years) and Bluebelle had had a rotten start in life. Twinkle was dumped and attacked by a dog before I got her. :shock:
if I were you I would visit your local rescues and spend time with the bunnies there and you will find that one takes your eye.
lol Pam

This is Charlie bun, apparently he's a blue otter mini dwarf lop - he was unwanted by a breeder.
This is Lavender, she was from a rescue and was dscribed as a medium lop cross, I think she's a cross between some sort of large ish english lop and a dutch maybe - if her markings are anything to go by, but really I'm guessing.

HS: I think he's been looking at shelters, but as he's from east coast US, he might be too far from the UK to adopt any of the buns from Rabit Rehome. :lol:
At any rate, my little Skittles is a Netherland Dwarf mix. His ears are bigger than a regular netherland drawf.
Don't mind the mess. He likes going over in the corner with my junk. :roll: luckily, my room is almost completely cleaned and rabbit-proofed, and tonight he'll be able to explore to his heart's content.
BTW, if you want an idea of different breeds, try this link

Thanks, I totally forgot about them! Not that I could find anything within 30 miles of me... :roll: And since I don't own a car, that's a big deal.
