What breed is Flopsy???

cavysrock

Wise Old Thumper
I thought she was a german lop but her coat has suddenly changed!!! does anyone know what breed she is??

this is an over-veiw of her


close-up of her coat



she looks like a piece of vet bed on legs
 
she looks like a lamb breed :lol: :lol: :love:

I don't know but Tracy had some buns in last year, I think it was, that had lamb coats like yours :wink:
 
I know some Holland Lops (I think you call them minis? They're they're dwarf lops) can carry the wool gene. Sometimes it show up if both parents have it. That's what she looks like to me.

Very cute!

Hi :) the coat is similar to a castor rex :) I has 3 when i fist started out in bunnies many years ago (showing age here) BUT i have NOT seen it in a lop :shock: :? she certainly looks like a german lop :) sometimes breeders "experiment" by mating other breeds together (out crossing) to produce new lines :? perhaps this was to create a castor rex lop :shock: :?
